- U.S. Patent No. 4,328,115 discloses an improved chemical acidogen system for foodstuffs, such as bovine milk and soybean milk to produce coagulated protein food products including cottage cheese, baker's cheese, cream cheese and "tofu" (soybean curd).
- the chemical acidogen system comprises hydrogen peroxide and an aliphatic dione having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, such as glyoxyl, pyruvaldehyde, diacetyl, 2,3-pentadione and 1,2-cyclohexanedione.
- the pH of the milk solutions are progressively lowered at a controlled rate to the protein coagulation stage (usually at a pH below 5.0) by the acid produced by the oxidation of the dione component of the acidogen system.
- the reference further discloses an embodiment of the chemical acidogen system comprising hydrogen peroxide, pyruvaldehyde and carbon dioxide-releasing sodium bicarbonate that may be added as a substitute for yeast in the leavening process for bakery products.
- Vialatte nee Geolier U.S. Patent No. 4,461,778, discloses a composition for the deacidification of malic acid containing food liquids comprising: (a) calcium carbonate; (b) potassium bicarbonate; (c) calcium tartrate; and (d) calcium double salt of tartaric and malic acids to cause precipitation of tartromalate from the liquid.
- the reference discloses that the potassium bicarbonate is included to promote the elevation of the pH of the solution.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,853,237 discloses a fitness drink powder comprising: (a) a long chain glucose polymer; (b) sodium chloride; (c) sodium bicarbonate; (d) magnesium chloride; and (e) fruit acid, wherein said drink powder has a pH of 5.5 to 5.8.
- Canton, U.S. Patent No. 5,350,591 discloses a dry mix additive for a hot coffee beverage which induces a foam on top of the coffee.
- the dry mix additive comprises: (a) a sugar, such as monosaccharides including glucose and fructose and disaccharides including sucrose, maltose, lactose and mixtures thereof; (b) sodium bicarbonate; (c) a two-component releasing agent, wherein the first component is selected from the group consisting of monocalcium phosphate, fumaric acid and citric acid and wherein the second component is selected from the group consisting of sodium aluminum phosphate, sodium aluminum sulphate and dicalcium phosphate dihydrate; and (d) a hydrating agent, such as food-grade starch, gelatinized starch and unmodified cornstarch.
- the releasing agent reacts with sodium bicarbonate in a hot beverage to release carbon dioxide gas, thus resulting in a foaming effect.
- the present invention provides a liquefied water soluble acidity reducing formulation comprising an edible bicarbonate, a soluble binder, water and optionally a preservative, wherein the liquefied acidity reducing formulation does not contain any acidulent components.
- the present invention further provides a liquefied water soluble acidity reducing formulation for food and beverage products consisting essentially of an edible bicarbonate, a soluble binder, water and optionally a preservative.

- Suitable water soluble binders for use with the liquefied acidity reducing formulation of the present invention include cornstarch, wheat flower, arrowroot, xanthan gum, gum arabic, guar gum, agar agar, locust bean gum, gum tragacanth, cellulose gums and mixtures thereof. Cornstarch is the preferred water soluble binder.
- propylene glycol in another embodiment, about 0.5 to about 1 part can be added to the formulation to moisten the binder and to prevent aggregation or clumping of the binder in the formulation.
- the propylene glycol may be combined with the binder to form a slurry, which is then added to a mixture of water and soluble bicarbonate.
- a preservative may be included in the liquefied acidity-reducing formulation of the present invention to increase the stability and shelf life of the formulation. Suitable preservatives are selected from the group consisting of sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate.
- the liquefied acidity reducing formulation of the present invention comprises about 15% to about 20% edible bicarbonate by weight, based upon the weight of the edible bicarbonate, soluble binder and water.
- a preservative, if present, is generally in the amount of less than 1 % based on the total weight of the liquefied acidity-reducing formulation.
- a method for raising the pH of an acid-containing consumable food or beverage product before consumption of said food or beverage product comprising mixing with said food or beverage product, an effective amount of a liquefied soluble acidity reducing formulation comprising an edible bicarbonate, preferably sodium bicarbonate, a soluble binder, preferably a cornstarch binder, water and optionally a preservative.
- a liquefied soluble acidity reducing formulation comprising an edible bicarbonate, preferably sodium bicarbonate, a soluble binder, preferably a cornstarch binder, water and optionally a preservative.
- the formulation substantially excludes acidulent components.

- the acidity reducing formulation of the present invention is provided as a liquid.
- the acidity reducing formulation of the present invention may be reconstituted from a dry powder with water.
- the acidity reducing formulation of the present invention Prior to consumption, several drops of the liquefied acidity-reducing formulation of the present invention are mixed with a high acid-containing food or beverage product until the pH of said food or beverage product is neutralized.
- the amount of the acidity reducing formulation of the present invention that is to be added is dependent on the acidity of the food or beverage product.
- the amount added should be effective to raise the pH of the food or beverage product from about 0.5 to about 2 pH units, preferably from about 0.8 to about 1.2 pH units.
- the resulting food or beverage product can be consumed without pain or discomfort by individuals having a hypersensitivity to acid or who have open mouth wounds or sores.

- the packaged acid-containing food product should include an effective amount of the acidity reducing formulation of the present invention to raise the pH of the food product from about 0.5 to about 2 pH units, preferably from about 0.8 to about 1.2 pH units.
- the liquefied acidity-reducing formulation of the present invention may be prepared by the steps of combining 4 parts by weight of an edible bicarbonate, such as at least one of sodium bicarbonate, calcium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate, 1 part by weight of a soluble binder, such as at least one of cornstarch, wheat flower and arrowroot, 16 parts by weight of cold water and optionally less than about 1 % by weight of a preservative, based on the total weight of the formulation.
- the above formulation is brought to a boil over a medium to low heat. Once the formulation has been brought to a boil, the formulation is simmered over a low heat for two minutes. It is essential that the formulation is simmered at a low temperature to avoid foaming.
- the entire formulation may be chilled at 140°F for pasteurization purposes.

- a liquefied acidity-reducing formulation was prepared by dissolving 1 part of cornstarch binder in 16 parts of cold water. The dissolved cornstarch mixture was brought to a boil by heating over a low heat. The boiled cornstarch mixture was removed from the heat, and 4 parts of sodium bicarbonate was added to the cornstarch mixture. The mixture of cornstarch and sodium bicarbonate was blended with a high speed immersible blender to produce a homogenous mixture of sodium bicarbonate and cornstarch. Once blended, the mixture was allowed to cool to about 100°F. After cooling, 0.333 parts of xanthan gum binder was added to the mixture and blended with a high speed immersible blender. The formulation exhibited excellent pourability into a dropper bottle, and was easily dispensed dropwise, into a food or beverage product.
