Definitions

  • the present invention relates to milk powder.
  • the present invention is concerned with milk powder comprising a protein complex which contributes to the improvement of creaminess, mouthfeel and texture, in particular of products based on lower and no fat formulation.
  • a process for preparing such milk powder and the products obtained from the milk powder are also part of the present invention.
  • Powder 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, such as colour, flavour, solubility and nutritional value.
  • Whole (full) milk contains, typically, about 87% water and skim milk contains about 91 % water.
  • the water is removed by boiling the milk under reduced pressure at low temperature, a process known as evaporation.
  • the resulting concentrated milk is then sprayed in a fine mist into hot air to remove further moisture and to obtain a powder.
  • removal of the water can be achieved by freeze drying or roller drying of the concentrated milk.
  • Powdered milk can be made by spray drying non-fat (skimmed milk), whole milk or buttermilk. Pasteurized milk is first concentrated in an evaporator to approximatively 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.
  • EP 1 127494 relates to a process for the preparation of fat-containing milk powder.
  • EP 0333288 relates to spray dried milk powder product and processes 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 concentrated milk product to be dried is in the solid state.
  • Spray-draying of a milk composition is also described in, for instance, US 5,350,590.
  • the powder milk can be dried on roller dryer.
  • Roller drying is a well-known technology and is described for example in "Food Processing Technology: Principles and practice” from P.J. Fellow, 3 rd edition (2009), Woodhead Publishing Limited, Part III.A, pages 512-516.
  • Milk is applied as a thin film to the surface of heated drum or drums, and the dried milk solids are then scraped off and the product can be milled to a finished flake or powder form.
  • the powder milk dried on drum (or roller) tends to have a typical cooked and caramel flavours due to the Maillard reaction induced by the heating on the hot roller.
  • Roller-drying of milk is also described in the chapter "Dairy Protein Powders" by P.
  • US 1 574 233 and US 2 1818 003 disclose pre-treatment of the milk before concentration and drying with alkali to reduce the calcium content of the milk, thereby improving the dissolution of milk powder in water. Mouthfeel and creaminess as well as lower or reduced fat are key drivers of consumer liking for dairy based products such as coffee mixes or coffee enhancers as well as high number of other products. Today, there is a challenge to increase or retain mouthfeel and creaminess of milk powders when fat is reduced or removed. Addition of thickeners (hydrocolloids, starches, etc.) has shown no big success due to the unexpected texture change and flavour loss, increased length of ingredient list and also increased formulation cost.
  • thickeners hydrocolloids, starches, etc.
  • milk protein concentrate is prepared by insolubilisation of milk proteins. Insolubilisation is achieved by aggregation of the whey protein and/or caseil, by adjusting the milk protein concentrate to a pH of from 4.1 to 5.4, or from 4.3 to 5.3, preferably the isoelectric point of the milk protein concentrate. Thereafter, the pH-adjusted milk concentrate may be heat-treated and homogenised. This process result in a cream cheese product.

  • the inventors have surprisingly found that by milk acidification in the area of pH 5.7-6.3 in combination with controlled heat treatment (temperature, pressure and hold time), the whey proteins form complexes with the casein micelles which results in increased colloidal particle size, water binding and overall viscosity.
  • the problem also addressed by the present invention is therefore to maintain the structure and function during the drying step of the milk composition. It was observed that current high pressure spray drying conditions for standard milk powder manufacture resulted in high shear effect that destroyed the controlled aggregation of proteins and thus the functionality during spray drying conditions. It was also observed that during drying on rollers, the casein was affected by the high temperature with potential impact on the controlled aggregation of proteins.
  • the present invention relates to a milk powder obtained by a process wherein controlled protein aggregation is performed during a drying step of a milk composition and wherein the milk powder upon reconstitution in an aqueous medium comprises casein-whey proteins/fat aggregates having a mean diameter value Dv50 of at least 1 ⁇ as measured by laser diffraction.

As soon as sample temperature reaches 25°C, samples were put into the cylinder cup. The Peltier element (Cell type TEZ-150P, Anton Paar) was set at the measurement temperature (25°C). The measurement was started when the sample reached 25°C. A step of pre-shear (see Table 2) was performed prior to each viscosity characterization.
