  • Beverage cloud based on a whey protein-stabilized lipid
    Patent number: 4790998
    Abstract: Clouding or creaming agents useful for still or carbonated beverages, especially acid types, are prepared by forming a dispersion of whey proteins and a lipid system, acidifying to a pH of about 1.0 to 4.5 then heating and homogenizing the solution to form a stable emulsion. The emulsion can be used as a liquid concentrate to impart opacity to a bevarage at low use levels. It may be added at higher levels to impart a creamy, milky flavor and a smooth, full mouthfeel. The emulsion may also be dried for use in dry beverage mixes.
