1. A sterile fats-enriched fraction obtained by a process comprising:
a) treating dried mammalian milk with a fats extracting agent at a pressure range of 2500-4500 psi (17237-31026 KPa), and temperature range of 40 to 75° C. to extract fats to provide a fats-enriched fraction, and a residual fraction comprising proteins and carbohydrates, wherein the fats extracting agent is supercritical carbon dioxide;
b) separating said fats-enriched fraction from the residual fraction; and
c) removing the fats extracting agent from the separated fats-enriched fraction to produce a dry fraction of oily, fats-enriched material, and a fraction enriched in proteins and carbohydrates,
wherein the dried mammalian milk is freeze-dried/lyophilized milk.
