Publication number: 20020146486Abstract: Low acid beverages can be further fortified with calcium without adversely affecting the taste or texture of the beverage. These products have a more bioavailable source of calcium and contain an additional 3% to 100% of the recommended daily allowance of calcium per unit serving. Calcium fortified water compositions of the present invention have elemental calcium concentrations up to 850 ppm. The added calcium source that is used to fortify the beverages of the present invention is added directly to the beverages of the present invention or may be added in the form of at least one premix.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2002Publication date: October 10, 2002Inventors: David Kee Yang, Matthew Thomas Heisey, Mark Benson Andon

Patent number: 5648112Abstract: Chilled or shelf stable beverage products which are physically stable, visually opaque and do not precipitate over time, and a process for preparing these products, are disclosed. These products contain from about 5 to about 99.8% milk, from about 0.05 to about 0.8% of a food stabilizer and a food acid. The first step of the process involves mixing milk with a food stabilizer under high shear mixing conditions to form protein/stabilizer particles having a median particle size of less than about 0.8 microns. Then, while still maintaining the particle size of the protein/stabilizer particles at less than about 0.8 microns, the protein/stabilizer mixture is acidified to a pH ranging from about 3.2 to about 4.5. In order to maintain the requisite particle size of the protein/stabilizer particles during the acidification step, the protein/stabilizer mixture is maintained under high shear mixing conditions at a temperature ranging from about 4 to about 30.degree.
