Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the production of a food product and to a 5 food product produced by the process.
- Cows' milk is comprised of water and milk solids.
- the milk solids 15 include fat and milk solid non-fat (MSNF) which is made up of protein together with lactose and various minerals.
- Pectin has traditionally been used as a stabiliser in protein-containing food products such as acidified protein beverages (typically high ester pectin) and stirred yoghurt (typically
- Pectin is a structural polysaccharide found in green land plants, for example, fruit and vegetables and may be extracted from citrus fruit peel. At a molecular level, pectin consists of a linear chain of galacturonic acid units linked through -1,4 glycosidic bonds (the 'smooth region'). This regular structure is interrupted by rhamnopyranosyl residues with side chains of neutral sugars (the 'hairy region'). Pectin
- 25 molecules have a molecular weight of up to about 200,000 and a degree of polymerisation of up to about 800 units.
- a proportion of the carboxylic acid groups of the galacturonic acid units are methyl esterified.
- the properties of pectin depend on the degree of esterification, which is less than 50% for low-ester (LE) pectin and more than 50% for high-ester (HE) pectin.
- micellar casein-pectin is known to have the ability either to prevent aggregation of casein micelles or to be the cause of it, depending on the pH of the system.
- the micellar casein-pectin system switches from hydrocolloid non-adsorption and depletion flocculation at neutral pH 6.7 to hydrocolloid adsorption and polymeric stabilisation at pH 4 [2, 4]. Therefore,
- pectin is an effective stabiliser at acidic pH, at neutral pH conditons it is incompatible with the milk proteins and separates the milk into two phases.
- Depletion flocculation of casein micelles involves exclusion of the polymer pectin chains from the space between the colloidal casein micelles, which induces an attractive interaction between the casein micelles. If the depletion attraction is strong enough, segregative phase separation occurs resulting in two immiscible aqueous phases, where the upper phase is rich in pectin and poor in casein micelles, while the lower phase is, on the contrary, mainly loaded with casein micelles [1, 2, 4]. At a low pectin concentration, the phase volume occupied by the pectin molecules is low.
- Pectin is a non-adsorbing polymer when it is in solution with skimmed milk at pH 6.7, but when lowering the pH to 5.3, the pectin molecule adsorbs onto the casein micelle. If the pectin concentration is low and insufficient for full coverage of the casein micelles, bridging flocculation occurs. When increasing the pectin concentration further, the casein micelles become fully coated and the system re-stabilises. Thereby, the attraction between the casein particles is lowered and stable conditions are obtained [2].
- HE pectin Although HE pectin has a lower charge density than low-ester (LE) pectin and thereby a weaker electrostatic interaction with casein micelles, it generally serves as a more effective stabiliser of casein dispersions. It is believed that a smaller region of the HE pectin molecule interacts with the casein particle, allowing a more substantial part of the pectin dangling chain to be freed from solvent interaction thus preventing protein aggregation through steric hindrance [7].
- LE low-ester
- the difference in the stabilisation characteristics of HE pectin at different pH values determines the applications in which HE pectin may be used as a stabiliser and the stage in the production process when the HE pectin may be added.
- the acidification of protein beverages can be achieved by the addition of an acid (for example an acidic fruit juice). Acidification can also be achieved via fermentation. However, for acidified protein beverages containing HE pectin, these two processes are technically distinct from each other:
- the casein phase has the properties of a liquid and can be dispersed into the whey phase in the form of droplets by stirring.
- the more shear applied to the system the smaller the drops become and the more like an oil-in-water emulsion the system becomes.
- the subsequent rapid pH drop through direct acidification freezes the casein droplets in their native form at the size they had in the neutral milk and thereby creates acid casein particles of controlled size [5].
- natural stabilisation of casein is destroyed and the presence of HE pectin that forms the above-mentioned protective coat around the casein micelles prevents aggregation and precipitation [13].
- HE pectin is added at neutral pH and induces phase separation. Strong mechanical stirring is then used to keep the precipitated casein proteins in suspension. The system is rapidly acidified freezing the casein proteins in suspension. The casein proteins are stabilised by the high-ester pectin molecules under the acidic conditions and are thereby prevented from sedimentation in the final application.
- HE pectin cannot be used in the same way.
- Production of fermented milk products typically involves the steps of pasteurisation of the milk base, followed by inoculation with bacteria and finally fermentation.
- the pH of the milk is reduced gradually and slowly in contrast to the rapid pH drop in the above application. Thereby, a disintegration of the casein micelles takes place that thickens or gels the milk into yoghurt [5, 13].
- pectin stabiliser For fermented milk products like stirred yoghurt the typical choice of pectin stabiliser is LE pectin that provides both stability and texture to the fermented protein system. In neutral milk the phase separation boundary is obtained at even lower pectin concentrations when LE pectin is applied [16]. In practice about 0.15% LE pectin can be added to neutral milk without phase separation. However, this low dosage is often not sufficient to obtain a required high viscosity and creaminess in the resulting fermented milk product like stirred yoghurt. Moreover, the request for improved viscosity and creaminess becomes even more relevant when the solid milk ingredients like proteins and fat are reduced in the formulation for the purposes of cost reduction or calorie reduction.
- the final product is not typically pasteurised or sterilised. It is therefore of utmost importance to pasteurise the milk prior to fermentation, to avoid contamination during fermentation and contamination of the final product.
- pectin When pectin is applied to fermented milk drinks containing live culture, it must be sterilised as well to avoid contamination of the product.
- known commercial pectin products cannot be added to the milk prior to pasteurisation, inoculation and fermentation and therefore the pectin needs to be sterilised separately. This typically involves the heat sterilisation of aqueous pectin solutions that require additional processing and equipment to both dissolve and heat the pectin.
- the pectin is typically in the form of a pectin syrup which is sterilised by heating and subsequently added to the already fermented milk base.
- the additional pectin sterilisation process requires additional tank capacity and heat equipment and increases the energy costs.
- the alternative and much simpler method of adding pectin directly to the fermented milk in the form of a dry mix with sugar is not applicable due to the contamination risk.
- a stabiliser which can be added to the milk prior to fermentation i.e. before the slow acidification.
- a stabiliser which can be added to the milk prior to fermentation i.e. before the slow acidification.
- This process would be greatly simplified if the pasteurisation of milk could be combined with the pasteurisation of the stabiliser.
- the stabiliser would then not have to be sterilised separately.
- the method of addition of the stabiliser would be more flexible, since both direct addition as dry mix with sugar and dispersion in a saturated sugar solution could be used as alternatives to the dissolved stabiliser solution.
- a stabiliser of fermented protein food products that is compatible with proteins in the food material such as milk and which can be added to the food material, resist a pasteurisation together with the food material, prevent flocculation and phase separation during fermentation and finally stabilise the acidified proteins after fermentation and optionally after a final pasteurisation to prolong the shelf-life.
- protein-polysaccharide incompatibility usually increases on heating and with protein denaturation [6, 9, 12, 15]. Therefore, the important pasteurisation of milk, in order to denature the whey proteins before fermentation, would be likely to enhance incompatibility even further in a blend of casein micelles and pectin at neutral pH conditions.
- the conditions for a limited compatibility are different for systems including neutral (e.g. locust bean gum and guar gum), sulphated (e.g. carrageenan) or carboxylated (e.g. pectin) polysaccharides and the compatibility typically decreases in the order sulphated>neutral>carboxylated polysaccharides [6, 7, 12].
- the phase separation boundary is obtained at lower polysaccharide concentrations with LE pectin than for HE pectin [16].
- SSPS soluble soybean polysaccharide
- Fuji Oil Co., Ltd., Japan has marketed SSPS under the brand name SOYAFIBE-S since 1993.
- SSPS is mainly composed of the dietary fibre of soybean and has relatively low viscosity and high stability in aqueous solution.
- SSPS is a much more branched polymer than HE pectin with a rather short backbone and many more long side chains.
- HE pectin has a long backbone and just a few short side chains.
- the component sugars in SSPS are mainly galactose, arabinose, galacturonic acid but also include many others such as rhamnose, fucose, xylose and glucose.
- Gel filtration chromatographic analysis by HPLC shows that SSPS consist roughly of three components having approximate molecular weights of 550,000; 25,000 and 5,000.
- SSPS The major component of SSPS consists of long-chain rhamnogalacturonan and short-chain homogalacturonan, while citrus pectin consists of short-chain rhamnogalacturonan and long-chain homogalacturonan.
- citrus pectin consists of short-chain rhamnogalacturonan and long-chain homogalacturonan.
- homogenous galactosyl and arabinosyl neutral sugar side chains combine with the rhamnogalacturonan region through rhamnose and are longer than the galacturonosyl main backbone.
- SSPS has a galacturonic acid content of about 20% [19] whereas pectin has a galacturonic acid content of at least 65%.
- the anion group of this acid probably binds to the surface of cationic protein particles so that SSPS protects the casein micelles. It is assumed that the adsorbed layer of SSPS is thick, because each molecule is rich in side chains of galactose and arabinose [19].
- SSPS is soluble in both cold and hot water without gelation and shows a relatively low viscosity compared to the viscosity of other gums/stabilisers. Acid, heat or salts (e.g. Ca-salts) do not significantly affect the viscosity of SSPS in solution. Under acidic conditions, SSPS prevents protein particles from aggregation and precipitation.
- SSPS Unlike HE pectin, the point of interest with SSPS is its ability to stabilise protein particles at low pH conditions without raising the viscosity of the acidified protein beverage. SSPS is reported to perform even if applied at an early stage of processing before fermentation, which allows the manufacturing process to be improved. SSPS shows good stabilising effect in lower pH products (below pH4.0). However, SSPS is less effective than HE pectin at higher pH such as around pH4.4 and/or high milk solid non-fat (MSNF) contents.

- Pectin for example a commercially available pectin, is dissolved in demineralised water at 85- 90°C to constitute a 5% solution.
- the pH of the solution is adjusted to 5.5 by addition of 20%) sodium carbonate solution.
- the solution is kept at 80°C for 2 to 8 hours until the viscosity of the solution (measured at 25 °C) is lowered to 30 to 50 cP.
- the pH is subsequently lowered to 3.5 by addition of 30% nitric acid and the mixture is cooled to room temperature.
- Pectin is precipitated out of the solution by pouring the mixture in 3 volume parts 80% isopropyl alcohol under good agitation.

- Pectin AMD1387 was dissolved in demineralised water at 85-90 °C to constitute a 5% solution. pH was adjusted to 5.5 by addition of 20% sodium carbonate solution. The solution was kept at 80 °C for 8 hours until the viscosity of the solution (measured at 25 °C) was lowered to approx 35 cP. Then pH was lowered to 3.5 by addition of 30% nitric acid and the mixture w,as cooled to room temperature. Pectin was precipitated out of the solution by pouring the mixture in 3 vol. parts 80% isopropyl alcohol under good agitation. After approx.

- Soyafibe-S-DA 100 soluble soybean polysaccharide, SSPS, produced by Fuji Oil Co., Ltd., Japan.
- GRINDSTED® products are available from Danisco A/S.
- the final drinking yoghurt was characterised by a milk solid non-fat content (MSNF) of 8%, a sugar content of 8%, a fat content of 0.1 %, and a pH of 4.0-4.1.
- the stabilisers were applied in the following concentrations (% w/w of total drink composition):
- Skimmed milk powder was hydrated for 30 minutes at 50°C.
- Stabilisers were dry mixed with 1/8 of the total sugar amount and dissolved in deionised water at 80°C. Thereafter, the stabiliser solutions were cooled to 40°C and added to recombined milk under stirring for 5 minutes.
- the stabiliser-milk blends were pasteurised in tank at 95°C for 10 minutes, cooled to fermentation temperature of 42°C and inoculated with 0.02% yoghurt culture Jo-mix NM 1-20.
- the stabiliser-milk blends were fermented to pH 4.2 at 42°C, then they were agitated to brake down the casein curd and cooled to 10°C.
- the remaining sugar part was added to the drinking yoghurts. pH was adjusted to 4.0 by addition of citric acid solution.
- the samples were divided into two parts: Homogenisation without post-pasteurisation and homogenisation combined with post- pasteurisation. Homogenisation was carried out at 300 bar. Samples to be pasteurised were preheated to 60°C and homogenised at 300 bar/60°C and subsequently pasteurised at 90°C for 15 seconds. All drinks were filled in bottles and stored under cold conditions.
- AMD 780 was included in the application trial to illustrate what generally happens when commercial pectin stabilisers are added to the application prior to fermentation.
- the pasteurised milk-pectin blend destabilised almost immediately and did not re-stabilise under the following processing of fermentation, homogenisation and pasteurisation.
- Wave 212 is a HE pectin fibre product with characteristics similar to DPP2 despite the fact that it has a higher viscosity of around 242 cP in a 5% solution at 25°C.
- AMD 780 typically has viscosity of more than 1000 cP. From other test series (not reported here) it is known that Wave 212 can stabilise the above drinking yoghurt recipe, when it is applied at 0.5% to the fermented yoghurt. However, the present trial indicates that the viscosity is too high for Wave 212 to be added to milk prior to fermentation without subsequent destabilisation of the milk-pectin blend. SSPS is claimed to stabilise drinking yoghurt even when added to milk prior to pasteurisation, inoculation and fermentation.
- DPP2 demonstrates that a stabiliser comprising a depolymerised pectin can be added to milk prior to pasteurisation, inoculation, and fermentation of the milk with a stabilising performance comparable to SSPS.
- the milk-stabiliser blend did not separate upon pasteurisation, inoculation, and fermentation and a fairly stable product was obtained upon homogenisation and even pasteurisation of the final drinking yoghurt. Like for SSPS, the stability of the resulting drinking yoghurt samples may not be fully optimal. Adjustment of recipe conditions (e.g. lower MSNF-content, lower pH) may improve the performance of DPP2.
- the data illustrates that there is no detrimental effects of the second pasturisation step - and hence the invention is suitable for application in long-life products (typically of 6 month shelf life), and to food products containing live micro-organisms (typically 14 to 28 days shelf life).
- DPP4 was made from GRINDSTED ® Pectin AMD 1387 by the same procedure as DPP2, but only heat-treated for 2 hours to increase the viscosity at 5% solution to approx. 400 cP.

- Drinking yoghurt model The final drinking yoghurt was characterised by a milk solid non-fat content (MSNF) of 8%, a sugar content of 8%, a fat content of 0.1 %, and a pH of 4.0.
- the milk base was fermented with Jo-Mix NM 1-20.
- the remaining sugar part (320 g in total) was added to the drinking yoghurts. PH was adjusted to 4.0 by the addition of citric acid solution. The samples were homogenised at 300 bar/60°C and subsequent pasteurised at 90°C for 15 seconds. All drinks were cooled to 10°C, filled in bottles and stored at cold conditions.
- Example 1 Compared to Example 1 above, this experiment applied a depolymerised pectin sample having a higher viscosity, i.e. close to 400 cP (i.e. a higher molecular weight than in the first trial). DPP4 sample was applied at lower dosages than in Example 1. A significant improvement of stability compared to the blind sample was obtained with a dosage of 0.40% DPP.
- the stability was improved further by blending DPP4 and AMD 780.
- a blend of 0.30% DPP4 and 0.10% AMD 780 performed equally as well as 0.40% SSPS under these conditions.
- DPP4 which has a viscosity slightly lower than 400 cP, improved the stability of a post pasteurised drinking yoghurt when added at 0.40% to milk prior to pasteurisation, inoculation, fermentation and post pasteurisation.
- the stability was improved further with a blend of 0.30% DPP4 and 0.10% AMD 780, where the stability equalled that obtained with 0.40% SSPS.
- 225 g GRINDSTED ® Pectin LC 1700 was dissolved in 4 L hot demineralised water and the temperature adjusted to 80 °C. Then 1.2 g aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution (35%) was then added. After stirring for 4 hours at 80 °C the mixture was cooled to room temperature and precipitated by mixing into 8 L 80 weight% aqueous isopropyl alcohol. After slowly mixing for an hour the precipitate was collected by filtration through a cloth and the material further washed by suspension in 4 L 60 weight% aqueous isopropyl alcohol for one hour. After separation of the liquid phase by filtration through a cloth the precipitated material was pressed by hand and dried in a ventilated oven at 60 °C overnight. 203 g dried DPP5 was milled to pass a 0.25 mm screen.
- DPP7 was made from GRINDSTED ® Pectin AMD 1387 by repetition of the procedure for preparation of DPP2 in Example 1.
- *DPP6 is a blend of 64% DPP5 and 36% DPP7, i.e. a blend of LE-DPP and HE-DPP pectins.
- Stirred yoghurt model The stirred yoghurt contained 2%-fat issued from reconstituted skimmed milk powder and whole milk powder adjusted to 4.0% protein that corresponded to 10.5% MSNF. Fermentation was performed with YO-MIXTM 301 culture to a final pH target of 4.5.
- Viscosity Except DPP5 dosed at 0.10%, all the depolymerised pectin samples dosed at 0.10-0.20% yielded viscosities close to, equal to or even slightly higher than 0.15% SY 200. Increasing the dosage of depolymerised pectin to 0.30% and above led to a clear improvement in the viscosity compared to 0.15% SY 200.
- Thickness All samples were perceived as either equivalent or thicker than the reference sample with 0.15% SY 200. As for the analytically measured viscosity dosages of 0.30% and above, the depolymerised pectin samples tested clearly improved thickness compared to 0.15% SY 200.
- Creaminess The reference sample with 0.15% SY 200 was not found creamy, whereas the depolymerised pectins tested made the stirred yoghurt creamy.
- DPP10 was prepared from GRINDSTED ® Pectin AMD 1387 according to Example 1.
- composition DPP 8 used in this example was as follows:
- composition of the blend DPP8 was 64% depolymerised amidated low ester pectin and 36% depolymerised high-ester pectin.
- GRINDSTED ® pectin SY 640 is an amidated low ester pectin Procedure: The procedure for the preparation of yoghurt is identical to Example 3 except that cream was added to the recipe to adjust the fat to 2%. The powder ingredients were mixed and the dry blend was added to the cream and water under agitation at 45°C, and subsequently preheated to 65°C, homogenised at 65°C / 200 bar and pasteurised 95°C for 6 minutes.
- the fermentation was allowed to proceed to pH 4.50.
- the typical fermentation time with the specific selected culture was found to be about 5 hours.
- the ferment was cooled on plate heat exchanger to 24°C and placed in 5 x 155 ml beaker of each and stored at 5°C
- the yoghurts produced were analysed for:
- Polyvisc viscosity Polyvisc® equipment, measurement of distance covered after 15 s by the release of a 100 ml volume of yoghurt at 5°C; a high Polyvisc index corresponds to a fluid, non viscous product;
- composition of yoghurt trials Composition of yoghurt trials:
- TAMINE & ROBINSON Yoghurt science and technology, p255-256 and 261-267, Pergamon Press 1985
- US PATENT N°4 289 789 Instant drink yoghurt composition, Sep. 15, 1981
