Claim:
1. process of preparing an α-lactalbumin hydrogel from an aqueous suspension of α-lactalbumin at a concentration C a-La of between 5 and 60 mg/ml, comprising the following steps: (a) suspending the α-lactalbumin in an acidic aqueous solution having an ionic strength of an added salt of less than or equal to 60 mM; said suspending consisting in: (b) forming the gel from said α-lactalbumin suspension obtained at the end of step a); said forming of the gel is carried out under the following conditions; wherein said α lactalbumin hydrogel is an α lactalbumin shear-thinning hydrogel which has a yield point and is thixotropic, having an α lactalbumin content of between 5 and 60 mg/ml, a pH of between 1.5 and 2.5 and an ionic strength of an added salt of less than or equal to 60 mM.
