Abstract

A liquid composition includes effective amounts of water, raw milk, dry milk powder, vanilla, natural butter flavoring and a natural thickening agent. The composition is mixed, pasteurised and homogenized. The composition has the same flavor and texture as milk with a reduced fat content.

Description

WO 93/05661 211 0 3 8 4 PCI`/CA92/00410 LI~UID CO~POSITION AS A MILK SUBST~TU~
Field of Invention This invention relates to a liquid composition and in particular to a liqui~ composition having the same flaYor and texture as milk but ha~ing a reduced 5 fat content.
Background of In~ention Milk has long been known as a staple food. Milk is available as homogenized, two percent (2%) partly skimmed and skim. Homogen}zed being whole milk, 2% milk having 2% butter fat and skim milk having all of the cream 10 removed from the milk.
Two percent milk and skim milk haYe a lower fat content than homogenized. However, the texture of 2% is dieeren~ from the texture of homogenized. Equally, skim milk has a texture which is different from 2% and that of homogeIlized. Other than by reducing the butter fat or the cream content of the ~:
15 milk, there~have been vely few att mpts at reducing the fat con~ent of the milk.
However in one~attempt, USP 5,063,074, Kahn, a low cholesterol, low fat milk is daselosed as having the same taste and "mouthfeel" of whole or 2% miLk.
A vçgetable~oil carrier as weli as agents to impart te~ture and flavor~ng properties to the milk product are added to achieve a milk product with the same mouthfeel of 20~ higher fat products. The presence of vegetable oil wili impart a pàrticular texture to the milk product which can be detected by the human palate. The vegetable oil : ~
texture cannst be fully masked by the other agents.
:

WO 93/05661 PCr/CA~/004l0 , .,: , ~
. 2lln3g~ 2, Still in anolber attempt, USP 4j853,246, Stevens, a high protein, sweetened, low ~t, reduced lactose dairy product not requiring ~e~igeration is disclosed. It is recognized by Stevens that taste of the product is essential for the commercial success of the product. Flavoring is achieved by the combinatlon of 5 added milk solids and lactase. Further flavoring is the result o~ other added ingredients such as artificial and natural flavors including vanilla and chocolate, fruits, nuts, vitamins, minerals including calcium~ emulsi~lers and stabilizers. However, Stevens does not address the problem of texture of the milk product. ~f the rnilk substitute does not have the proyer texture, it will not be accepted in the market as 10 a milk product.
Summary of Invention - Ihe disadvantages of the prior an may be overcome by producing a milk-substitute composition comprising water, raw milk, dry milk powder, vanilla, natural butter flavoring and a nataral thickening agent. By varying the e~ctive 15 amounts of each component, a~milk-substitute composition can be produced having ~he same flavor and texture of milk yet having a fat content and accordingly a reduced animal fat and cholesterol content less than the raw milk base.
According $o one aspect of the invention, there is pr~vided ~ liquid composition comprising effective amounts of water, raw miLk, dry milk powder, O vanilla, natural butter flavoring and a natural thickening agent. The ingredients are WO 93/05661 PCr/CA92/00410 211038~

emulsified in effective amounts to have the same texture and flavor as the raw milk base yet having a fat content less than an equivalent volume of the raw milk base.
The composition is mLxed, pasteurised and homogenized.
Detailed DescriPtion of the_Invention S The preferred embodiment of the present invention is a milk-substitute composition having the same texture and flavor as homagenized milk.
A liquid composition having the same flavor and texture of whole milk but having a fat content less than an equivalent volume of raw milk will be described.

.
The following ratio of amounts of ingredients are mLl~ed together in a suitably sized 10 vat: ~
from about 150 to about 340 kgs of water;
from about 130 to about 270 kgs of 0.1% to 4.0% raw milk;
f~om abo~ut 15 to about 50 kgs of ~d~r mil~ powder;
, from about 18 to about 29 gms of vanilla;
15 ~ from about 10 to about 30 gms Qf na~ural butter flavoring; and from about 80 to about~200 gms of a natural thl~ckening agent.
Dry milk powder is available in a vanety of forms: skim milk, casein, casemates, buttermilk~ and whey. Any varie~r of dry miik would be suitable for use in the milk substitute composition. Some changes in the ratio of ingredients may be -20 necessary to compensate for the individual flavor of each miL~c powder.

The ratio of all~ ingredients can be varied to produce a more "milky"

~exture and flav~r or a more '~atery" flavor and texture, primarily by varying the : :

:: ~

WO 93/05661 Z 1 1 0 3 8 ~ PC~/CA92/00410 amount of dry milk powder and water. Less water will produce a "milkier" texture while more water will produce a "wate~" texture.
The use of vanilla in the composition not only enhances the flavor, but also improves the consistency of the mixture. The vanilla greatly assists in the S blending of the mixture and prevents the dry milk powder from precipitating out of the composition.
To improve the nutritional value of the milk-substitute composition, 1 millilitre of vi~amin D and 8.5 millilitres of vitamin A may be added to the mixture.
A natural butter flavor is added to improve the flavor of the 10 composi~ion. Small amounts of a natural butter fla~oring sold under the trade mark BUl~R-SA~INE-AROMA has been used to improve the flavoring of the milk-substitute composition. The small amounts of natural butter flavoring does not impart a '~uttery" flavor but rather gives the composition a more "milkier" or "dairy"
flavor. Appro~dmately 10 to 30 gms of the natural butter flavonng can be added to 15 the composition~ with the preferred amount being 15 gms.
A na~ural thickener agent ls added to improve the thickness of the mixture resulting in the same ~tcxture as the raw milk base. Carrageenin, a natural thickening agent, has been found to proYide the suitable thickness to the milk-substitute composition. ~ppro~mately 80 to 200 gms of carrageenin may be addeà
20 to the composition, with the preferred amount being 90 gms.
The ingredients are mLxed in a vat until fully emulsi~led. The mixture is then homogenized and then pasteurised. The prefelTed rate of pasteurizing is WO 93/056Cl 211 0 3 8 4 PC~/CA92/00410 170C at 500 pounds per minute. The resulting milk-substitute composition is then bottled or packaged in suitable amounts. Applicant has found that the milk-substitute composition has a shelf length of approximately 15 to 20 days which is e~uivalent to that of homogenized milk. However, the milk-substitute composition has substantially S less fat content than the homogenized milk base yet retains the same texture and taste of homogenized milk.
In use, the liquid compositiorl of the preserlt invention ca-n be used whenever whole, partly or skimmed milk is used.
The invention is best illustrated by way of the ~ollowing examples.
EXAMPLE ~
A Inilk-substitute composltion having the same texture and flavor as homogenized milk can be made~ The following ratio of amoun~s of ingredients are tnixed together In a suitably sized vat:
