Patent number: 6673384Abstract: The present invention relates to an agent for imparting creamy mouthfeel to foods and beverages. Said agent comprises a water-insoluble component and a water-soluble component. Said water-insoluble component has particles with a mean particle size diameter of from about 0.1 to about 3.0 microns and comprises: (a) from about 5 to about 70% of a microparticlulate component; (b) from about 0 to about 60% of fat/oil component; (c) from about 0 to about 5% of emulsifier component; (d) up to about 5% of a microcrystalline cellulose component. Said water-soluble component comprises: (a) from about 0.05 to about 40% of a thickener; (b) from about 0 to about 10% sodium caseinate; (c) from 0 to about 40% milk solids; and (d) from about 0 to about 4% processing aids. The creamy mouthfeel agent of the present invention comprises from about 0 to about 10% flavorants; said flavorants may be part of the water-insoluble components, the water-soluble components; or both.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 1999Date of Patent: January 6, 2004Assignee: The Procter & Gamble Co.Inventors: Francisco Valentino Villagran, Glenn James Dria, Jeffrey Lee Butterbaugh, Leonard Edwin Small

Patent number: 6379737Abstract: A novel dissolution agent, and its use in the manufacture of instant (flavored and unflavored) beverage products, (coffee, hot chocolate, teas, creamy juice drinks, milk shakes, nutritional drinks, and the like, especially instant coffee products), that have improved mouthfeel (“creaminess”, “richness”, “body”, “complexity”, “body-richness”, “substantial”) and thickness, without “sliminess” or “stringiness”. This novel dissolution agent may also be used to make a binder solution that will be used during manufacturing in the agglomeration process. The instant beverage products made according to the present invention, (especially preferred are instant coffee products), can deliver a creamy, rich, preferably foamy, beverage with a clean, improved mouthfeel and thickness without “sliminess” or “stringiness”, as well as a higher flavor impact, at a lower dosage of solids (5-10%, preferably 6.5-8.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2001Date of Patent: April 30, 2002Assignee: The Procter & Gamble Co.Inventors: Jeffrey Lee Butterbaugh, Jeffrey Alan Sargent
