SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a process for the preparation of a composition comprising a lipid and protein component having in its composition large lipid globules, preferably coated with polar lipids, and to compositions thus obtained. Method for producing a composition comprising a first-stage or second-stage infant formula or a third stage baby milk, provides for the preparation of an aqueous phase with a solids content of 10 to 60% by weight of the total weight of the aqueous phase, which contains at least one protein component, the preparation of a liquid lipid phase, which contains at least one lipid and mixing the lipid phase with the aqueous phase in a ratio of 5 to 50% (w / w) using a static mixer. Obtained composition contains lipid globules in its composition. Moreover, the lipid globules have a weighted modal diameter from 1 mcm to 15 mcm. Composition obtained by the above method comprises at least 60% by volume of said lipid globules with a diameter of 2 to 12 mcm. Alternatively, the composition may be a spray-dried composition of a first-stage or second-stage infant formula or a third stage baby milk.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible, by using a static mixer, to obtain a composition with lipid globules of controlled, reproducible size.
