摘要:
Beverages and powdered beverage mixes fortified with ferric EDTA as an iron source are provided. The beverages and beverage mixes fortified with ferric EDTA according to this invention have superior iron bioavailability and excellent storage stability. The present invention also is directed to a method of using such ferric EDTA-fortified beverages to prevent or treat iron-deficiency anemia in individuals by administering the iron fortified beverage of the invention in an effective amount to an individual in need thereof.
摘要:
Mineral complexes, especially calcium complexes, of lactobionic acid which are especially useful for mineral fortification of food and beverage products are provided. The preferred calcium complex of lactobionic acid provided in the present invention delivers a soluble, stable, clean tasting calcium source suitable for calcium fortification of a wide variety of food and beverage products. The mineral complexes are prepared by mixing lactobionic acid, a mineral source, (e.g., mineral hydroxide), and an edible acid (e.g., citric acid) in an aqueous solution.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to metastable mineral-amino acid complexes that are formed by combining a mineral oxide, hydroxide, or carbonate an amino acid and an organic acid. The complexes may be used to fortify a variety of food and beverage products.

摘要:
Amorphous water-soluble calcium citrate salts having a mole ratio of calcium to citrate of less than 2.5:2, and powdered beverage mixes and liquid compositions fortified with these amorphous water-soluble calcium citrate salts as a calcium source, are provided. Liquid compositions fortified with calcium citrate according to this invention have superior dispersability, solubility, appearance, and storage stability. These liquid compositions are prepared by new methods that provide and preserve a stable amorphous character in the dry powdered product salts. The present invention also is directed to a method of administering such calcium citrate-fortified liquid compositions to increase the dietary calcium intake in individuals.

A method is provided for producing reduced-fat components that may be used to make reduced and low-fat processed cheese, natural cheese or other reduced and low-fat food products. The reduced-fat flavor components are produced by extraction of fat from full-fat biogenerated cheese flavor components. Alternatively, natural biogenerated cheese flavor components are produced with reduced amounts of fat. Additionally, reduced-fat cheddar cheese can be derived from 1% milk.
