Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A composition and method are provided for pre-paring an instant acidified milk gel product, characterized by smooth body with no graininess and good flavor. The dry composition comprises color, flavor, food acidulent, carbo-hydrate sweetener, and a thickener system which is a blend of carboxymethyl cellulose, xanthan gum and locust bean gum, and optionally starch.

Description

~Z8~0 .~
:
BACKGROUND OF ~HE INVEN~ION
11 This invention relates to an instant acidified 12 milk gel product.
13 It has long been desired to successfully prepare 14 an instant milk gel containing an acidulent. Such a product would have novel and interesting textural properties as well 16 as desirable organoleptic properties. There are inherent 17 difficulties, however, in preparing such a product as milk 18 has a tendency to curdle in the presence of acidulents.
19 While acidifed milk gels are disclosed in my copending ~
~ ,~ 7/S, f~ 4/~)~ f976, patent application Serial No. 5~ ~ il~l3-Mhy 1975, ~1 such gels are not instant gels and they contain about equal 22 amounts of milk and fruit juice.

23 OBJECTS OF ~HE INVENTION
24 Accordingly, it is an object of the pre~ent in-vention to provide an acidulent-containing composition 26 ~hiCh can be combined with milk to provide an in~tant 27 milk gel. Another object is to provide an acidulent-con-28 ta-ning composition which can be combined with milk to ' ". : ':' ' IV~Y~

1 provide an instant milk gel without necessity for chemical
2 neutralizers. A further ob~ect is to provide a milk gel
3 which will be highly palatable, have a nutritional protein
4 content, a ~mooth and creamy consistency, a tenderbody, a
5 firm texture, and a relatively long life without deterio-
6 ration. It is a further object of this invention to provide
7 a particularly pleasing and nutritious dessert per se.
8 Still another object is to provide a thickener composition
9 for the acidulent-containing composition which is combined
10 with milk to provide the instant milk gel of the present
11 invention. Yet another object is to provide an acidifiad
12 milk dessert which exhibits no protein precipitation. These
13 and other objects o the present invention will become
14 apparent from the following description.

17 A composition for preparing an instant acidified 18 milk gel product, characterized by smooth body with no 19 graininess and good flavor comprises a food acidulent, 20 a sweetening agent, and a thickener system which is a 21 blend of carboxymethyl cellulose, xanthan gum and locust 22 bean gum, and optionally starch. The thickener is used at a 23 level of from about 2.5% to about 10% by ~eight based on the 24 weight of the total solids before adding milk. The food acidulent is present in sufficient quantity to adjust the pH
26 o~ the entire system when combined with milk to from about 27 3.8 to about 4.3. Small amount~ of coloring and flavoring 28 materials optionally may be presentO
. '':

The present invention is directed to an instant-31 type acid milk gel using a blend of dry ingredients which 32 is added to cold milk with mixing followed by refregeration.

1 By an instant type gel is meant one which does not require 2 heating. The blend of dry ingredients comprises a thickener 3 system, acidulent, sweetening agent, and optional coloring 4 and fla~7Oring. The thickener system is a blend of car-boxymethyl cellulose having a degree of substitution range 6 of rom 0.65 to 0.95 (CMC), xanthan gum and locust bean gum 7 and optionally pregelatinized starch. In general, based on 8 the total weight of the thickener composition, the car-9 boxymethyl cellulose is present in an amount of from about -14% to about 60~, the xanthan gum is present in an amount 11 of from about 13~ to about 35%, the locust bean gum is 12 present in an amount of from about 13% to about 35%, 13 and starch is optionally but preferably present in an 14 amount of rom about 0% to about 53%. Examples of t~pical thickener compositions follow:

~ K-1958 1 The blend of dry ingredients contains from 2 about 2.5% to about 10% by weight of thickener compostion, 3 and food acidulent in an amount sufficient to adjust the 4 pH of the system when the dry blend is combined with milk to between from about 3.8 and about 4.3. If the pH is 6 beyond that required to produce the foregoing range, the 7 product will be coarse in texture, indicative of protein 8 reaction. Flavoring and coloring ingredients are optionally 9 present in small amounts, and the balance is a sweetening agent.
11 The food acidulent may be a food grade acid 12 such as, e.g., fumaric, adipic, citric, ~artaric, malic or 13 succinic, either in anhydrous or hydrated state, or a mixture 14 of two or more o the foregoing. The sweetening agent may lS be a carbohydrate sweetener or an artificial sweetener.
16 The carbohydrate sweetener may be a monosaccharide sugar 17 such as, e.g., ructose or dextrose (glucose) ox a 18 disaccharide sugar such as, e.g., sucrose or lactose, 1~ or a mixture of two or more sugars. The artificial sweet-ener may be saccharin, an alkali metal salt or alkaline 21 earth salt of saccharin or a peptide such as L~aspartyl-h~
22 phenylalanine methyl ester.
23 To prepare the instant acidified milk gel product of 24 the present invention, about 100 g. of the foregoing blend ~S of thickener, acidulent and sweetening agent are mixed with 26 about 2 aups (0.47 liter) of cold milk in a mixing bowl 27 while stixring. After stirring for several minutes the 2~ mixture is poured into gel dishes and refrigerated until the 29 gel is set. The texture and flavor ralease of the resulting gels can be modified by adjusting the levels o xanthan gum, 31 locust bean gum and starch. An increase in starch level 32 beyond about 5% by weight of total solids, however, tends to . : . . - . .

1 mask the flavor release and produces a pastier body, while 2 an increase in either xanthan gum or locust bean gum beyond 3 about 50~ results in a gummier body of poor flow.
4 It is noted that the use of carboxymethyl cellu-lose as a protein stabilizer has been taught in the lit-6 erature, see C.A., 56, 1816b; C.A., 78, 83016u. Also taught 7 in the literature is the use of xanthan gum and locust bean 8 gum to thicken acidified milk products, see U.S. patent - -9 3,726,690. In these cases the milk products have a high fat content, unlike the products of the present invention 11 wherein the only fat is that present in the milk.
12 The following examples illustrate the present 13 invention without, however, limiting the same thereto.
