The stabilizer may further apply to the milk-containing coffee beverage, especially with 25~30 wt% of milk contents.

Description

Use of anti-floating oil composition of normal temperature high milk content coffee drink and product thereof

The present invention relates to the use of an anti-slick composition and a product thereof, and particularly to the use of an anti-floating oil composition for preventing oil slick generation in a room temperature high-milk coffee beverage and a product thereof.

Milk-containing coffee drinks are a product that is widely loved in the market. In general, milk-containing drinks generally refer to any coffee beverage containing milk ingredients. These milk-containing coffee beverages are formulated with different coffee bean types and milk types and different concentrations to enhance flavor and mouthfeel. Common milk ingredients currently known to those skilled in the art include raw milk, raw cream, whole milk powder, skim milk powder, and instant milk powder ( Instant creaming powder).

However, after the coffee-containing beverage is allowed to stand at room temperature for a period of time, oiling off is naturally generated due to the difference in oil-water density, that is, a layer of nearly milky white oil is formed on the surface of the liquid; Separation, feathing, and precipitation, which in turn affects the taste and flavor of the drink.

In addition, milk-containing coffee drinks are usually packaged in the form of aluminum foil, metal cans, plastic bottles, or glass bottles. In recent years, the milk-containing coffee beverages made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) have gradually replaced the traditional canned or aluminum foil packaging. The outer packaging made of PET is a transparent bottle body, so the coffee drink can be easily observed by the consumer on the display rack, which affects the appearance of the oil, thereby greatly reducing the purchase intention.

In view of this, the development of a formulation that enhances the anti-slick effect in a milk-containing coffee beverage is a focus of attention and research in the art. Although many prior art techniques have disclosed a single emulsifier, such as Glycerin fatty acid ester, Sorbitan fatty acid ester, Sucrose fatty acid ester, etc. In the emulsification stability procedure of the common milk-containing beverage, a novel emulsion stability formula has not been developed for the milk-containing coffee beverage, and it can effectively resist the formation of oil slick in the milk-containing coffee beverage.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a use of an anti-slick composition for preventing oil slick generation in high milk content coffee beverages. The present invention aims to invent the deficiencies of the above-mentioned emulsion stabilizer formulation, and to prepare an anti-slick component which is most suitable for a milk-containing coffee drink to improve the oil slick problem of the coffee-containing coffee.

According to an object of the present invention, there is provided a use of an anti-slick composition for preventing oil slick generation in a milk-containing coffee, wherein the anti-slick composition comprises 19 to 35 wt% of a single HLB value of 3 to 5 Monoglyceride, 24 to 43 wt% of organic acid glycerides with an HLB value of 8 to 10, 9 to 24 wt% of a sucrose fatty acid ester having an HLB value of 10 to 16, and 11 to 32 wt% % of functional gums, wherein the monoglyceride may be distilled mono-glyceride; the organic acid glyceride may be selected from sodium sulphate (Sodium Stearyl 2-Lactylate), citric acid a group consisting of Citric Acid Esters glycerides and diacetyl tartaric acid ester glycerides; and the functional gums can be selected from carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), micro A group consisting of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), carrageen, pectin, and gellan gum.

According to an object of the present invention, there is further provided a milk-containing coffee beverage comprising: 0.1 to 0.25 wt% of an anti-slick composition comprising 19 to 35 wt% of a monoglyceride having an HLB value of 3 to 5, 24~ 43 wt% of organic acid glycerides with an HLB value of 8-10, 9-24% of sucrose fatty acid esters with an HLB value of 10-16, and 11 to 32 wt% of functional gums; 25-30% by weight of milk a component; and 69 to 74% by weight of the coffee, wherein the monoglyceride may be a distilled monoglyceride; the organic acid glyceride may be selected from sodium lactic acid stearate, glyceryl citrate and diglyceryl tartrate The group consisting of; and the functional glue can be selected from the group consisting of carboxymethyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, carrageenan, pectin and orchid.

In view of the above, the present invention provides an anti-slick composition and a product comprising the anti-slick composition having one or more of the following advantages:

The present invention provides the use of an anti-slick composition, particularly for the prevention of oil slick generation in milk-containing coffee. The anti-slick composition comprises a monoglyceride having an HLB value of 3 to 5, an organic acid glyceride having an HLB value of 8 to 10, a sucrose fatty acid ester having an HLB value of 10 to 16, and a functional gel. The composition utilizes emulsifiers of different HLB values, different colloids and physicochemical properties to find the optimum combination and obtain the balance between the oil phase and the water phase of the oil droplets to achieve the best oil stagnation stability.

The coffee beverage is produced by drying the roasted coffee beans, grinding them into small granules or powders, and melting the liquid containing various coffee-specific chemical components by hot water brewing. At present, the public has developed a number of methods for brewing coffee. However, the coffee bean slag that has been brewed with hot water will be removed, so there is no discomfort caused by any precipitation of impurities. In addition, because of the different density of coffee and dairy products, it is easy to produce a natural phenomenon of oil moisture layer after being placed for a period of time when preparing a milk-containing coffee drink. What's more, the acid fat released by the coffee itself will destroy the activity of the protein in the dairy product. After being placed for a long time, it will destroy the taste of the milk-containing coffee drink. The anti-slick composition provided by the present invention is optimized for use in a dairy plus coffee combination. It mainly reduces the acidity of coffee, stabilizes the surface tension between oil and water media, and suspends large particles (such as oil droplets and proteins) to stably and evenly distribute it in solution to optimize the optimal taste.

The results showed that the experimental group containing the anti-slick composition had only a slight oil-ring after standing for one week, and after standing for one month, the oil level was less than 1 mm, and the bottle was shaken. The oil slick is easily dissipated; however, the experimental sample added to the control group A produces a white oil slick on the liquid surface after standing for one week, and after standing for one month, white agglomeration occurs in the liquid, and the emulsification property is poor; Similarly, the experimental sample of the control group B also produced white oil slick on the surface of the liquid while standing for one week, and after standing for one month, some white agglomeration was generated in the liquid, and the emulsification property was poor.
