Claim Text:
1. A method of producing a non-settling hydrolyzed whey permeate with an enzyme, the method comprising the steps: subjecting the whey permeate having an initial solids content in the range of from about 15 to about 25 percent solids to hydrolysis by an enzyme, so as to obtain a whey permeate hydrolysate having a degree of hydrolysis above about 65 percent; and subjecting the whey permeate hydrolysate to evaporation so as to bring the level of solids in the resulting whey permeate hydrolysate concentrate to within a range of from about 60 to about 80 percent solids, so as to obtain a whey permeate hydrolysate concentrate whose settling profile is such that there is no detectable settling over two weeks when stored at 90° F.
