摘要:
An aqueous based tea solids containing beverage is taught which also contains a sufficient amount of cinnamic acid its salts and esters as a flavoring/antimicrobial compound and employs a hurdle approach with selected levels of water hardness, polyphosphate, sequestrants, pH adjustment, benzoic acid and sorbic acid to prevent microbiological outgrowth while simultaneously contributing to the pleasant flavor of the beverage thus making the beverage acceptable both organoleptically and microbiologically.
摘要:
An aqueous based tea solids containing beverage is disclosed which also contains a sufficient amount of Natamycin in combination with reduced levels of selected chemical preservatives to prevent the outgrowth of yeast and/or mold, making the beverage significantly more organoleptically acceptable.
摘要:
An aqueous based tea solids containing beverage is taught which also contains a sufficient amount of a selected substituted phenyl flavoring/antimicrobial compound to prevent microbial outgrowth while simultaneously contributing to the pleasant flavor of the beverage thus making the beverage acceptable both organoleptically and microbiologically. Optionally selected "hurdles" or stepwise antimicrobial controls are also employed.
摘要:
An aqueous based tea solids containing beverage and a method for its preparation is disclosed. The beverage contains sufficient Natamycin to prevent the outgrowth of yeast and/or mold.
摘要:
A method for preparing, handling, storing and dispensing tea at relatively mild temperatures is provided to eliminate or substantially reduce microbial outgrowth. A balance between the tea solids concentration and the storage temperature is achieved whereby the delicate flavor of the tea is not compromised.
摘要:
An aqueous based beverage is disclosed which also contains sufficient Natamycin and DMDC to prevent spoilage and the outgrowth of pathogenic microbes.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a mixing chamber for producing a non-carbonated tea beverage, wherein the tea beverage is susceptible to growth of detrimental microorganisms, comprising: a tea concentrate feed line having a check valve; a hot water feed line; a cold water feed line having a check valve; and wherein the non-carbonated tea beverage is better than an acceptable microbial count and is a substantially homogeneous non-carbonated tea beverage. The present invention also relates to a method of producing a non-carbonated tea beverage, wherein the tea beverage is susceptible to growth of detrimental microorganisms, comprising the steps of: continuously feeding hot water into a mixing chamber; continuously feeding tea concentrate into the mixing chamber; continuously feeding cold water into the mixing chamber; continuously mixing the tea concentrate, hot water and cold water in the mixing chamber; and continuously dispensing a non-carbonated tea beverage wherein the non-carbonated tea beverage is better than an acceptable microbial count and is a substantially homogeneous non-carbonated tea beverage.
