According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A method of making a modified dairy protein product includes providing an aqueous dairy protein solution having an amount of dairy protein (e.g., liquid or fluid whey, a whey protein concentrate solution, a whey protein isolate solution). The method further comprises adding from about 0.1 wt% to about 5 wt% sodium polyphosphate (e.g., sodium hexametaphosphate) relative to the amount of dairy protein to the aqueous dairy protein solution to form a modified dairy protein solution. The method also comprises drying the modified dairy protein solution. A modified dairy protein product includes dairy protein modified by sodium polyphosphate. Various baked goods (e.g., cakes or muffins) and intermediates therefore (e.g., a dry mixture of ingredients) can include the modified dairy protein product. In some embodiments, 5-40% less dairy protein is needed for baked goods or intermediates thereof when the modified dairy protein product of the present invention is employed."
