Processes for producing dairy products having lower levels of neutral
lipids, and/or higher levels of polar lipids, by extraction using near
critical carbon dioxide or dimethyl ether. These products may be used as
ingredients in infant formulas. Infant formulas containing beta-serum are
also claimed. "Beta-serum" means an aqueous dairy ingredient separated
from dairy streams containing greater than 60% fat which have been
through phase inversion from an oil-in- water to a water-in-oil emulsion,
such as the serum produced during the production of butter oil.
