  • Formulated milk concentrate and beverage
    Patent number: 4842884
    Abstract: A formulated milk concentrate is described comprising about 25-60% by weight of nonfat dry milk solids, 15-40% by weight of water, 3-40% by weight of an edible oil, and 0-35% by weight of sugar, wherein the weight ratio of nonfat dry milk solids to water is between about 1:0.55 and 1:0.75. The concentrate can either be frozen for later use or immediately blended with water to produce a beverage. Within the critical range of milk solids-to-water ratios, edible oils are emulsified to form stable concentrates without the use of emulsifiers or specialized dairy equipment such as homogenizers and colloid mills.
