Description

2398473
BEVERAGE
This invention relates to beverages, in particular carbonated beverages containing milk and juice and to a method of making such beverages.
There are problems in using milk as an ingredient in a beverage. In particular, the chemical or micro stability of milk requires careful handling and temperature control to prevent deterioration. Beverages containing milk have to be stored at low temperature to maintain product quality. Such beverages often have a relatively short shelf life.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a carbonated beverage containing milk that is stable under ambient conditions and that provides fizz and a smooth texture when consumed.
According to the present invention there is provided a carbonated beverage containing at least Go w/w milk, at least Go w/w juice, a stabiliser and water, the beverage having a pH of less than 5.
Wherein To w/w refers to the weight of the component in the weight of the final product.
Preferably, the milk content is in the range 2-6o w/w with a milk content of around 45to w/w being especially preferred. The milk may be skimmed milk.
Preferably the milk is not concentrated or condensed before use.
Preferably the milk is not fermented. The milk may be acidified, this may occur by the addition of citric acid.
e Àe Àeees The milk may be added as an acidified milk base. An acidified milk base preferably comprises skimmed milk, water, citric acid, pectin and apple juice.
Advantageously, the juice content is in the range 2-12o w/w with a juice content of 7-9o w/w being especially preferred. The juice may be one type, for example, apple, orange, strawberry. More preferably the juice is a combination of at least two types, for example apple and orange or apple and strawberry. The juice may be a concentrate. Preferably the fruit juice is not in the form of a concentrated syrup.
Preferably, the stabiliser is pectin in an amount of between 0.05 - 0.6o w/w, preferably 0.3 - 0.4o w/w, with a range of 0.36 - 0.38o w/w being especially preferred. The pectin is preferably esterified with a degree of esterification of at least 70%.
Advantageously, the water content is at least 70% w/w and more preferably at least 80% w/w with a water content of at least 85 To wlw being especially preferred.
Preferably, the beverage includes calcium.
Preferably the calcium content is an amount less than O.lo w/w, preferably the calcium content is 0. 04 % w/w. The calcium may be provided in any suitable form such as calcium chloride, calcium chloride may be included in an amount of less than 0.2o w/w, preferably 0.05 w/w to 0.15 % w/w with an amount of 0.12o w/w being especially preferred.
c. À :: . . À: . À . . À À À À Àe Advantageously, the beverage contains no added sugar.
Preferably, the beverage has a pH in the range 3 to 4 with a pH of 3.5 to 3.7 being especially preferred. The pH may be controlled by the addition of an acid solution such as citric acid and/or malic acid and/or salts of such acids, for example sodium citrate.
Advantageously, the beverage is carbonated by the addition of carbon dioxide under pressure to provide a carbonation level of up to 3 volumes with carbonation of 1.8 to 2.6 volumes being preferred.
The beverage may include other ingredients in an amount for the required purpose such as an acidity regulator, antioxidant(s), colouring(s), flavouring(s), preservative(s), artificial sweetener(s) (not sugar). Such ingredients are well known in the art and their use will be understood by those skilled in the art.
The preservative may be sodium polyphisphate, potassium sorbate or dimethyl dicorbanate. The acidity regulator may be sodium lactate, malic acid, lactic acid, potassium citrate or citric acid.
According to another aspect of the invention there is provided a method of manufacturing a carbonated beverage containing milk and juice, the method comprising the steps of providing a mixture of milk, juice and stabiliser having a pH in the range 3 to 4, homogenizing the mixture at a pressure of 180 to 200 bar to produce a milk/juice syrup, diluting the syrup with water and pasteurising at an elevated temperature of 90 to À:. are.: ::.
À À À ce 100 C to produce an uncarbonated beverage, and cooling and then carbonating the uncarbonated beverage.
Preferably the beverage is pasteurised prior to carbonation.
Preferably the beverage is pasteurised and carbonated before the filling or bottling stage.
Preferably, the water includes calcium in any suitable form such as calcium chloride. Preferably the calcium content is an amount less than 0.1% w/w. Preferably the calcium content is 0.04o w/w. Calcium chloride may be provided in an amount of less than 0.2% w/w, preferably 0.05 w/w to 0.15o w/w with an amount of 0.12o w/w being especially preferred.
The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the following examples and accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a flow chart for producing a milk/juice syrup, Figure 2 is a flow chart for converting the milk/juice syrup to an uncarbonated milk/juice beverage and Figure 3 is a flow chart for carbonating the uncarbonated milk/juice beverage.
Referring first to Figures 1 to 3, there are depicted flow charts for various stages in the production of a carbonated milk/juice beverage according to the present invention as follows: Stage 1 e:: . . À: :À . Be À Milk, juice and water are blended with other ingredients in a mixing vessel, heated to 40 C, homogenised at 200bar, and cooled to 5-10 C to produce a blended milk/juice syrup as shown in Figure 1.
Stage 2 The milk/juice syrup from stage 1 is then mixed with calcium chloride, potassium sorbate and water, flash pasteurised at around 90100 C to produce an uncarbonated beverage as shown in Figure 2.
Stage 3 The uncarbonated beverage from stage 2 is cooled to 5 C and carbonated in-line by injecting carbon dioxide and dosed with preservative such as E242 dimethyl bicarbonate prior to bottling as shown in Figure 3.
The resulting carbonated beverage containing milk and juice is stable under ambient conditions and produces a beverage that mixes fizz with a smooth texture when consumed. The carbonated beverage has a shelf-life of up to 6 months under ambient conditions with little or no separation.
Two examples of carbonated beverages containing milk and juice made by the above process will now be described.
