Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a process for treating a protein-containing composition. The process includes the provision of a protein-containing composition wherein the proteins comprise milk proteins and said milk proteins comprise at least 90wt.% β-lactoglobulins. The composition is contacted with a transglutaminase to obtain a cross-linked protein-containing composition. This process enhances not only the heat stability, in particular in presence of calcium but also the texture properties of such protein-containing compositions. The invention also relates to cross-linked protein-containing compositions obtainable or obtained by said process, to a process for preparing dairy products or alternatives thereof with such compositions and to the resulting dairy products or alternatives thereof.
