Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
92 words
A margarine which comprises as an ingredient in its aqueous phase from about 0.5% to about 6%, by weight of the margarine, of the dried modified whey product which is formed by drying the second fraction which is obtained by passing partially delactosed cheese whey through the bed of a molecular sieve resin and which comprises a lactose content of from about 40% to about 50%, by weight, an ash content of from about 20% to about 30%, by weight, and a protein content to about 15% to about 20%, by weight.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
92 words
A margarine which comprises as an ingredient in its aqueous phase from about 0.5% to about 6%, by weight of the margarine, of the dried modified whey product which is formed by drying the second fraction which is obtained by passing partially delactosed cheese whey through the bed of a molecular sieve resin and which comprises a lactose content of from about 40% to about 50%, by weight, an ash content of from about 20% to about 30%, by weight, and a protein content to about 15% to about 20%, by weight.

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
105 words
A process for forming a margarine having a smooth texture and low syneresis which comprises incorporation in the aqueous phase of said margarine from about 0.5% to about 6%, by weight, of the margarine, of the modified whey solids product which is formed by drying the second fraction which is obtained by passing partially delactosed cheese whey through the bed of a molecular sieve resin and which comprises a lactose content of from about 40% to about 50%, by weight, an ash content of from about 20% to about 30%, by weight, and a protein content of from about 15% to about 20%, by weight.
