摘要:
The present invention relates to compositions which are useful as stabilizer and thickener systems, as well as methods of their use. The compositions are useful as, for example, cosmetic, health care (including pharmaceutical and over-the-counter compositions), food, and beverage compositions, preferably food and beverage compositions. The present invention is further directed to methods of stabilizing such compositions. The compositions comprise a pectin compound, an alginate compound, a cellulose compound such as carboxymethylcellulose.

Chilled or shelf stable beverage products which are physically stable, visually opaque and do not precipitate over time 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 °C.
摘要:
A continuous process for making a flexible porous dissolvable solid structure with open celled foam. The continuous process has the steps of preparing a pre-mixture comprising surfactant, polymer, water, and optionally plasticizer; aerating the pre-mixture to form a wet aerated pre-mixture; extruding the wet aerated pre-mixture to form one or more sheets on a belt; and drying the sheets to form an Article having an open celled foam.

A water composition that is fortified with at least one mineral and has a pH between about 2.5 and 9.5. The water composition has a redox potential that satisfies the following equation: 0≥RP-(A-B*pH) wherein RP is the redox potential in millivolts of the mineral-containing water composition, pH is the pH of the mineral-containing water composition, A is (400) and B is (20). The mineral is preferably selected from calcium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, iodine, magnesium, and mixtures of these. Moreover, the mineral-fortified water composition is preferably substantially free of flavor or sweetener compounds. Even more preferably, the water composition has no metallic taste or after-taste, a Hunter colorimetric 'b' reading of less than 5.0, and an NTU turbidity value of less than 5.0. The mineral-fortified water composition may optionally contain other nutrients and vitamins, for example, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, niacin, thiamin, vitamin B6, vitamin B2, vitamin B 12, folic acid, selenium, and pantathonic acid.

Acidic compositions comprising protein and fiber are described. In one embodiment, the compositions comprise: (a) a protein component comprising a protein selected from the group consisting of whey, casein, and mixtures thereof; and (b) from about 0.8% to about 5% of a fiber component, by weight of the composition;wherein the composition comprises particles having a median particle size of about 1 micron or less and wherein the pH of the composition is from about 3 to about 5.In another embodiment, the compositions comprise: (a) a protein component comprising a protein selected from the group consisting of whey, casein, and mixtures thereof; and (b) from about 0.05% to about 5% of a fiber component, by weight of the composition;wherein the composition comprises particles having a median particle size of greater than about 0.8 microns to about 1 micron and wherein the pH of the composition is from about 3 to about 5. In yet another embodiment, certain compositions may be prepared by the following process: (a) mixing the protein component and the fiber component to form a first mixture comprising the particles; and (b) mixing an acidic component and the first mixture at a temperature of from about 4 oC to about 43 oC to form a second mixture comprising the particles; wherein the particles have the median particle size of about 1 micron or less; and wherein the first mixture and second mixture are formed under high shear conditions.
