Abstract
Abstract Comminuted meat products are prepared containing a blend of a whey by-product and about 5 to 50% of casein or its salts. The whey by-product is selected from a low molecular weight fraction derived from the molecular sieve fractionation of whey, a permeate obtained from the ultrafiltration of whey or a delactosed form of the permeate. The blend functions as a binder, flavor enhancer and/or extender. Blends containing the permeate or delactosed permeate are particularly effective in flavor enhancing and extending of non-specific meat loaves.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
106 words
A process for preparing non-specific meat loaves which comprises admixing with a meat-containing composition suitable for preparing said loaves from about 1% to about 35% by weight based on the total weight of the non-specific meat loaf of a blend of deproteinized whey by-product selected from the group consisting of a permeate resulting from the ultrafiltration concentration of whey and a delactosed form of said permeate in combination with from about 5% to about 50% casein or its salts, the percentage of said casein or salts being by weight of the solids in said blend; and chopping the resultant admixture until the admixture is effectively emulsified.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
106 words
A process for preparing non-specific meat loaves which comprises admixing with a meat-containing composition suitable for preparing said loaves from about 1% to about 35% by weight based on the total weight of the non-specific meat loaf of a blend of deproteinized whey by-product selected from the group consisting of a permeate resulting from the ultrafiltration concentration of whey and a delactosed form of said permeate in combination with from about 5% to about 50% casein or its salts, the percentage of said casein or salts being by weight of the solids in said blend; and chopping the resultant admixture until the admixture is effectively emulsified.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The process as recited in claim 1 wherein said deproteinized whey by-product is the permeate obtained from the ultrafiltration of whey.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
The process as recited in claim 2 wherein said permeate is delactosed.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
The process as recited in claim 1 wherein said blend is obtained by dry blending the constituents.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
The process as recited in claim 1 wherein said salts of casein are the sodium or potassium salts.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
11 words
The non-specific meat loaf produced by the process of claim 1.
