Definitions
- the present invention relates to dairy products.
- the invention is concerned with milk powder compositions comprising a protein complex which contributes to the improvement of creaminess, mouthfeel and texture, in particular of products based on lower and no fat formulations.
- a method of producing such milk powder products and the products obtainable from the method are also part of the present invention.
- Powdered milk or dried milk is a manufactured dairy product made by evaporating milk to dryness. It involves the gentle removal of water at the lowest possible cost under stringent hygiene conditions while retaining all the desirable natural properties of the milk - color, flavor, solubility, nutritional value.
- Whole (full cream) milk contains, typically, about 87% water and skim milk contains about 91% water.
- this water is removed by boiling the milk under reduced pressure at low temperature in a process known as evaporation. The resulting concentrated milk is then sprayed in a fine mist into hot air to remove further moisture and so give a powder.
- Powdered milk is usually made by spray drying non-fat skimmed milk, whole milk, buttermilk or whey. Pasteurized milk is first concentrated in a n eva porator to approximately 50% milk solids. The resulting concentrated milk is then sprayed into a heated chamber where the water almost instantly evaporates, leaving fine particles of powdered milk solids.
- Spray-draying of a milk composition is described, for instance, in US 5,350,590.
- Mouthfeel and creaminess as well as lower or reduced fat are key drivers of consumer liking for dairy products such as coffee mixes or coffee enhancers as well as a high number of other products.
- the objective of the present invention is to use all-natural formulation or ideally by the product matrix itself, instead of adding ingredients to the product, particularly in low and no fat products.
- thickeners e.g. hydrocolloids, starches
- EP0333288 relates to spray dried milk powder product and process for its preparation. It was found that a spray dried whole-milk powder with a coarser fat dispersion can be prepared by causing the spraying to be effected in such conditions that a considerable portion of the fat in the pre-concentrated milk product to be dried is in the solid state.
- EP1127494 relates to a process for the preparation of fat-containing milk powder.
- US6541056 relates to a malted beverage powder and a process for preparing it, in which liquid beverage ingredients and a first portion of dry malted beverage ingredients are wet mixed to provide a wet mixture having a moisture content of about 20% or less. The wet mixture is vacuum dried to provide a dry cake which is comminuted to a base powder. The base powder is then dry mixed with a further portion of dry malted beverage ingredients.
- the malted beverage powder so obtained has a substantially homogeneous colour and characteristics such as flavour and texture similar to those of conventionally-prepared malted beverage powder.
- GB 345,302 relates to improvements in drying apparatus, in particular for drying milk, so that the resulting powdered milk may be kept without deterioration for a considerable period.
- Milk may be dried on band conveyors arranged within a vacuum chamber, where each of the ban conveyors passes over a series of hot plates. Then, the solid milk is ground still under vacuum.
- Taterka and Castillo (2015) "The effect of whey protein denaturation on light backscatter and particle size of the casein micelle as a function of pH and heat-treatment temperature" Int. Dairy J. 48:53-59, disclose several pH and heat treatments of reconstituted skim milk.
- an embodiment of the invention proposes a process for preparing a milk powder, said process comprising the steps of:
- Another embodiment of the invention is a milk powder comprising caseins and whey protein wherein the powder upon reconstitution in an aqueous medium comprises caseins and whey protein/fat aggregates having a mean diameter value Dv50 of at least 1 ⁇ as measured by laser diffraction, wherein the milk powder is obtainable by a process as mentioned above.
- Another embodiment of the invention is the use of the milk powder for producing a powdered growing-up milk, a powdered culinary sauce, a powdered coffee mix, a powdered coffee or tea creamer, or a powdered cocoa-malt beverage
- Figure 1 shows light microscopy images of milk powders reconstituted in water.
- A Reference milk powder (see example 1).
- B sample 1 of the present invention (see example 1).
- C sample 2 of the present invention (see example 1). Scale bars are 50 microns.
- Figure 2 shows particle size distributions of vacuum dried powders according to reference (A) and samples of the present invention (B and C) as explained in Example 2.
- Figure 3 shows pictures to illustrate the consistency of wet mixtures obtained by mixing skim milk powder with water, at various total solids contents.
- Figure 4 shows a bar diagram comparing Sa mple 1 and the Reference of Exampole 1.
- an embodiment of the invention relates to a milk powder comprising caseins and whey protein wherein the powder upon reconstitution in an aqueous medium comprises caseins and whey protein/fat aggregates having a mean diameter value
- particles having mean diameter value Dv50 refers to protein network comprising casein micelles and whey proteins either present in aggregates.
- the mean diameter value Dv50 of the milk powder of the present invention ranges from 1 ⁇ - 120 ⁇ .
- the mean diameter Dv50 ranges from 50 ⁇ to 100 ⁇ .
- the method for measuring the mean diameter Dv50 is explained in Example 2.
- the term "upon reconstitution in an aqueous medium” refers to reconstituting the milk powder into a liquid such as water.
- the liquid may be milk.
- Such a process is carried out typically at room temperature and may involve stirring means.
- the process may be carried out at elevated temperature, e.g. 85°C for a hot beverage preparation.
- These protein aggregates form a network that is suspected of binding water and entrapping fat globules (in case of presence of fat) and increases mix viscosity to create a uniquely smooth, creamy texture that mimics the presence of higher fat levels.
- the vacuum-dried milk composition does not include any thickeners and/or stabilisers.
- thickeners include hydrocolloids, e.g. xanthan gum, carrageenans, guar gum, locust bean gum or pectins as well as food grade starches or maltodextrins.
- the milk powder of the present invention is used in producing a powdered growing-up milk, a powdered culinary sauce, a powdered coffee mix, a powdered coffee or tea creamer, or a powdered cocoa-malt beverage.
- the milk power may be prepared from skim milk, semi-skim milk or full fat milk.
- the milk powder may be lactose-free.
- the milk powder is prepared from milk concentrate having a total solids content of about 50 to 65%.
- the milk powder is prepared from a wet mixture which is obtained by mixing a standard milk powder with water, to provide a mixture having a total solids content of about 50-65%.
- standard milk powder refers to a milk powder which was manufactured from milk without pH adjustment during manufacturing. For instance, it may be a commercial spray-dried milk powder.
- the milk used in the manufacture of standard milk powder may be raw or standardised milk.
- lactose is removed from the milk by conventiona l methods.
- the milk is homogenised before spray-drying.
- the present invention also relates to a process for preparing a milk powder comprising the steps of:
- the milk concentrate may be prepared by mixing milk powder to provide a wet mixture having a total solids content of about 50-65%. Accordingly, in an embodiment, the present invention relates to a process for preparing a milk powder comprising the steps of:
- the milk powder is selected from skim milk powder, semi-skim milk powder and full fat milk powder.
- Figure 3 shows the consistency of wet mixtures obtained by mixing skim milk powder in water, at several total solid contents.
- the consistency of the wet mixture on Figure 3a is too liquid. Vacuum drying it is very difficult.
- the consistency of the wet mixture on Figure 3d is too dry or doughy. It is not possible to distribute it on the belt of a vacuum belt dryer.
- the ideal consistency is illustrated on Figures 3b and 3c, where the wet mixture is pasty or a thick liquid. In this case, it is rather easy to distribute the wet mixture on the belt of a vacuum belt dryer, and to dry it.
- the target total solids content of the wet mixtures depends on the fat content of the milk powder. For instance, when the milk powder is skim milk powder, the target total solids content of the wet mixture ranges from 55 to 60%, as shown on Figure 3. When the milk powder is full fat milk powder, the target total solids content of the wet mixture rather ranges from 60 to 65% in order to reach the desired consistency.
- the pH of the milk concentrate, or of the wet mixture is adjusted to 5.9 to 6.5. Preferably, it is adjusted to a pH of 6.0 to 6.4, or preferably to a pH of 6.0 to 6.3. This may be performed by adding a food-grade alkali or a food grade acid, depending on the starting point. For instance, the pH of the wet mixture is adjusted using a food-grade alkali, such as NaOH.
- the process is performed in a continuous manner, especially between steps (b) and (c).
- lactose may crystallise in the wet mixture, if a too long time elapses between steps (b) and (c).
- lactose-free milk is used.

- the residence time in the vacuum belt drier ranges from 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the water content of the milk concentrate or the wet mixture, on the temperature in the vacuum belt drier, and on the pressure. For instance, when the vacuum belt drier is operated at about 130°C at a pressure of about 25 mbar, the residence time of a wet mixture comprising 55% total solids is about 45 minutes. Also for instance, a wet mixture comprising 65% total solids may be dried in a vacuum belt drier in 25 minutes at about 155°C at a pressure of about 25 mbar.
- the cake which is about to leave the vacuum drier may be cooled before leaving the drier. Alternatively it may be cooled after leaving the drier.
- dry cake means that cake contains less than about 5% by weight of moisture, preferably less than about 4% by weight of moisture, and most preferably less than about 3% by weight of moisture.
- the dry cake is then comminuted using one or more crushers or mills as necessary. Particles are sieved through a 250 micron sieve.
- the powder obtained comprises less than about 5% by weight of moisture, preferably less than about 4% by weight of moisture, and most preferably less than about 3% by weight of moisture. I n particular, the process achieves a milk powder which, when reconstituted in aqueous medium results, in casein-whey protein aggregates having a mean diameter value Dv50 ranging from 1 - 120 ⁇ .
