The present invention pertains to production of special whey protein nanogels by denaturation of whey protein and furthermore to the resulting whey protein nanogels, and their use in food products, such as beverages. The present whey protein nanogels contribute with an extraordinarily low viscosity contribution when used in high concentration in beverage and liquid products which is a clear indication of their uniqueness. La présente invention concerne la production de nanogels de protéine de lactosérum spéciaux par dénaturation de protéine de lactosérum et, en outre, les nanogels de protéine de lactosérum obtenus, et leur utilisation dans des produits alimentaires, tels que des boissons. Les nanogels de protéine de lactosérum de l'invention contribuent à une viscosité extraordinairement faible lorsqu'ils sont utilisés en concentration élevée dans des boissons et des produits liquides, ce qui est une indication claire de leur singularité.
