Definitions

  • the present disclosure generally relates to food and beverages. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to ready-to-drink ("RTD") beverages having foam formed by shaking the beverage and also relates to methods for making same.
  • RTD ready-to-drink
  • Foam is considered a highly desirable attribute for beverages such as many different kinds of milk, fruit and coffee beverages. Foaming in a beverage can provide a pleasant foamy texture, and a smooth mouth feel.
  • foamy products in a ready-to-drink (“RTD") form is difficult.
  • Foamy beverages are typically prepared using a foam-generating apparatus with an external energy input, such as by whipping, gas sparging, gas injection or other mechanical means of foam creation, which is not convenient to consumers.
  • Another existing solution is a self-foaming powder that develops a crema/foam on reconstitution, but this solution is not applicable to ready-to-drink beverages.
  • WO 2015/185545 describes a chilled dairy RTD beverage, comprising a texture component consisting of xanthan gum, a blend of cellulose and carboxy-methylcellulose, carrageenan, and having a Brookfield viscosity of 150 to 490 mPa.s.
  • the beverage may be foamed by shaking.
  • the beverage is not shelf-stable under ambient storage conditions.
  • Plant protein beverages comprising a plant component containing a plant protein
  • plant protein beverages are popular in today's world and widely consumed by people due to its nutrition and good quality
  • the plant components in the beverages are derived by processing seeds, kernels, grains, and/or nuts rich in protein.
  • plant protein beverages are classified as soy milk beverages, coconut milk beverages, almond milk beverages, peanut milk beverages, and the like.
  • Many plant protein beverages comprising a nut component are currently available in the market, for example, peanut milks comprising peanut butter or peanut paste.
  • Those RTD plant protein beverages have an appearance and taste very close to normal milk product, and are not foamy and cannot provide rich and stable foam.
  • Shelf-stable food is food of a type that can be safely stored at ambient temperature in a closed container.
  • a desired plant protein beverage should be shelf-stable during storage without phase separation, creaming, gelation and sedimentation, and retain a constant viscosity over time.
  • the addition into liquid beverages of a plant component comprising a plant protein generally leads to physico-chemical instability issues such as phase separation, protein sedimentation, fat creaming, food particles precipitation, and so on.
  • peanut dairy beverages are easy to change during the producing process period and shelf-life period because peanut component used in the beverage, such as peanut paste, contains a lot of vegetable oils and proteins and insoluble particles, which results in precipitation, creaming, serum and thereby affect the appearance or mouthfeel of the beverage.
  • CN 101390582 describes the challenges to provide shelf-stable peanut milk beverages, and discloses an emulsion stabilizer system comprising monoglyceride, tripolyglycerol fatty acid esters, sodium alginate, sucrose ester, modified soy lecithin, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, guar gum and sodium pyrophosphate.
