  • Patent number: 11259537
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing a shelf stable ready-to-drink beverage product, comprising the steps of: providing an ingredient composition comprising micellar caseins and whey protein, having a total protein concentration of 1.5-8 wt. %, and wherein the composition has a casein to whey protein ratio of 90/10-60/40, adding divalent cations to provide a concentration of 3-20 mM free divalent cations in the ingredient composition, and 0.025-0.3 wt % of a stabilizing system comprising hydrocolloids, and subsequently heat treating the ingredient composition at ultra high temperature (UHT) at 135-150° C. for 3-30 s to form agglomerated proteins comprising casein and beta-lactoglobulin from the whey protein, the agglomerates having a size of 5-30 microns mean diameter D(4,3) as measured by laser diffraction.

  • Patent number: 4817439
    Abstract: A two-phase fluid is rotated around a longitudinal axis so as to generate a coaxial flow having a tubular layer (15) formed by the gaseous phase surrounded by a tubular layer (16) formed by the liquid phase. The thicknesses of the tubular layers of the liquid phase and gaseous phase, and the flow velocity of at least the liquid phase (VL) is measured. The flow of each phase can then be determined from empirical data.
