In one aspect, the present invention provides methods for producing milk by limited proteolysis that is resistant to acid coagulation without negatively affecting the organoleptic properties of the milk. In another aspect, the invention provides methods for increasing the absorbability of calcium in milk to a desired level. In another aspect, the invention provides methods for increasing the viscosity of milk to a desired level. In a further aspect, the invention provides methods for producing acidified milk without coagulation. The methods of the invention comprise the steps of heating milk to a temperature between about 40° C. and about 90° C. and treating the milk with an effective amount of one or more protease. The invention also provides milk that is resistant to acid coagulation, milk with an increased viscosity, stably acidified milk, and products made with the milks of the invention. |
