Abstract

In a method of producing a beverage from yoghurt and fruit juice, fruit essence or fruit concentrate, having good keeping qualities, the yoghurt is prepared in the conventional manner by fermenting milk until the mass has reached a pH value conventional for yoghurt, e.g. pH 3.9 to 4.5, and the fermented milk is mixed as desired with water, sugars, fruit juice, fruit essence or fruit concentrate, pectin and flavouring and/or colouring materials. After the mixing of the ingredients the mass is homogenized in a manner known per se and is subsequently subjected to a heat treatment, comprising warming to a temperature between 45 and 55 DEG C, while the mass is being agitated and while maintaining a temperature difference between the heating medium and the mass of no more than 10 DEG C and subsequently cooling to a temperature between 25 and 35 DEG C. At that temperature the product is again homogenized, and then pasteurized or sterilized, cooled and aseptically packed, or packed and then pasteurized or sterilized within the package.

Description

SPECIFICATION A method of making a yoghurt drink This invention relates to a method of producing a beverage from yoghurt and fruit juice, fruit essence or fruit concentrate, having good keeping qualities.
A known method of producing such a beverage comprises producing the yoghurt in the conventional manner by fermenting milk until the mass has reached a pH value conventional for yoghurt, and mixing the fermented milk, as desired, with water, sugars, fruit juice, fruit essence or fruit concentrate, flavours and or colours.
Such a method is described in Dutch patent specification No. 99,203. Although it is stated in the specification that the resulting products have good keeping qualities, it has been found in practice that when the product is kept at room temperature, for example at 20 to 250C, there is a clear separation of whey after some time, and visible sedimentation can be observed, sometimes after a period as short as a few weeks. This is particularly the case if the beverage contains a fruit juice or fruit essence.
According to the present invention, it has been found that a yoghurt beverage having very long keeping qualities can be produced by homogenizing the mass, in a manner known peruse, after the ingredients have been mixed, and subsequently subjecting it to a heat treatment, in which the composition is warmed to a temperature of between 45" and 55"C, while the mass is being agitated, and while maintaining a temperature difference between the heating medium and the mass of no more than 10 C and subsequently cooling the mass to a temperature between 25 and 35"C, at which temperature the mass is again homogenized.Thereafter the resulting product is pasteurized or sterilized and then cooled and aseptically packed. it is also possi bleforthe resulting product to be packed and then pasteurized or sterilized within the package. For the preparation of the yoghurt serving as the starting material, milk is preferably fermented so that the pH, measured at the usual fermentation temperature, reaches a value ranging between 3.9 and 4.5, in particular a value of 4.2 or less.
In the method according to the present invention it is important that the fermented milk, cooled to a temperature of between 150 and 35"C, and to which water, sugar, fruit juice, fruit concentrate or fruit essence, pectin, flavours and/or colours have been added, has a pre-determined pH value.
This pH value, measured at a temperature at 15 C, is preferably 4.1 to 4.2. It can be adjusted by means of a substance suitable for use in food stuffs, for example, citric acid or lactic acid. The heat treatment of the homogenized mass is preferably effected in such a manner that a temperature of 51 + 0.5"C is reached, while maintaining a temperature difference between the heating medium and the mass to be heated of no more than 10 C. In a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, during the cooling of the warmed-up mass to a temperature of 25 to 35"C, in particular to a temperature between 31 and 33"C, the same temperature difference is maintained between the cooling medium and the mass as was used during the warming-up phase.
During the warming-up to pasteurization or sterilization temperature of the unpacked product, it is also preferable to maintain a temperature difference between the medium and the mass of no more than 10"C, Yoghurt beverages prepared by the method according to the present invention can be kept, both as regards taste and consistency for at least 6 months. Homogenization of the mass can be carried out, for example, by means of a pestle-type homogenizer, or a colloid mill.
The invention will now be further illustrated by the following five examples of the method according to the invention and some comparative examples.
Example I 1000 kg milk with a fat content of less than 0.3% by weight was mixed with 70 kg saccharose and 10 kg dextrose. This mixture was successively homogenized at a pressure of 20 MPa, heated to 98"C, maintained at that temperature for 2.5 minutes, and cooled to 30"C. The resulting mixture was subsequently subjected to a fermentation with 0.25 kg IST culture, which fermentation was continued until a pH value of 4.2 was reached.
After cooling to 15"C, the pH value was checked and adjusted to a value of 4.1 by adding food-quality citric acid. The mixture was then mixed with stirring with 27 kg water, in which were dissolved 2.2 kg citrous pectin and 3.5 kg orange essence. After intensive stirring, the mixture was homogenized at a pressure of 20 MPa, and then warmed up to a temperature of 51"C in a suitable heat exchanger, while agitating the mass and using a temperature difference between the heating medium and the product of no more than 5"C.
Immediately after this temperature of 51 cm, which was determined accurately, was reached, the mixture was cooled to 32"C, with the temperature difference (AT) between the cooling medium and the mass being no more than 5"C. At the temperature of 32"C, the mixture was again homogenized at a pressure of 20 MPa, whereafter the mass was heated to 90"C and kept at this temperature for 30 seconds while being agitated, maintaining a temperature difference between the mass and the heating medium of no more than 5"C. Finally the product was cooled to 22"C and packed aseptically at this temperature. The germ count of the packed yoghurt drink immediately after packing was 90 germs/ml.
The product was stored in the sealed package at room temperature. After more than 6 months, no separation of whey could be observed and no deterioration in taste could be noted.
Example The method described in Example I was repeated, but after heating to 90"C and maintaining the mixture at that temperature for 30 seconds, the mixture was cooled to 30"C and packed at that temperature. The product was stored in that package at 15"C. The results were similar to those of Example Example 111 Example I was repeated, except that no fruit essence and sugars were added.
After aseptical packing, the germ count was 92 germs/ml. After more than 6 months' storage no whey separation or sedimentation was to be observed. The fresh yoghurt taste had been fully retained.
Example IV The procedure of Example I was repeated, except that raspberry essence was used and a AT of 80"C was used during the warming-up phase to 51"C and during the cooling to 32"C. After aseptic packing the germ count of the product was 96 germs/ml. After 6 months' storage at room temperature, no whey separation and no sedimentation were to be observed in this product. The drink still had the fresh raspberry yoghurttaste.
Example V The procedure of Example I was repeated, except that after the final homogenization at a pressure of 20 MPa the yoghurt drink was packed in bottles and subsequently subjected in the package to a heat treatment at 90"C for 30 seconds, and then cooled to room temperature.
After 6 months' storage at room temperature in the closed package no deterioration in taste and separation of whey were to be observed. The germ count immediately after the heat treatment in the sealed package was 92 germs/ml.
Comparative Example I The procedure of Example I was repeated, but now a temperature difference of more than 10"C between the heating medium and the product was used during the warming-up to 51"C and later during the heating to 90so. After packing the germ count was 98 germs/ml.
After one month's storage at room temperature, the drink exhibited a clear separation of whey and a visible sedimentation and gave a gritty sensation in the mouth.
Comparative Example II 1000 kg milk was treated in the same way as in Example I, except that after warming-up to 51"C and cooling to 32"C, without applying homogenization, the product was immediately heated to 90"C, using a temperature difference of 5"C, and after being kept at this temperature for 30 seconds cooled at 22"C at which temperature if was aseptically packed. The packed product had a germ count of 98 germs/ml.
After one week's storage at room temperature the yoghurt drink had entirely separated into whey and flocs.
Comparative Example Ill The procedure of Example I was repeated, but after the first homogenization of the mass it was immediately heated to 90"C, using a temperature difference of 5"C. After being kept at this temperature for 30 seconds, the mass was cooled to 22"C and packed at this temperature. The yoghurt drink had a germ count of 100 germs/ml. After one week's storage at room temperature, the drink had entirely separated into whey and proteinaceous flocs.
Comparative Example IV The procedure of Example I was repeated, but after the first homogenization of the mass, itwas heated to 65"C with a AT of 5"C, and homogenized at that temperature. Subsequently, using a temperature difference of 5"C, the mass was heated to 90"C.
After being kept at this temperature for 30 seconds, the composition was cooled to room temperature and aseptically packed. The germ count of the drink was 95 germs/ml. After one week's storage at room temperature, clear separation into flocs and whey had taken place.
Comparative Example V The procedure of Example I was repeated, but after homogenization of the yoghurt drink it was heated directly to 90"C while being agitated, using a temperature difference of 5"C. Afterthe product had reached the temperature of 90"C it was colled to 40"C. At this temperature it was homogenized at a pressure of 20 MPa and then aseptically packed. The germ count of the packed product was 96 germs/ml.
After being stored at room temperature for 24 days, whey deposition began to occur in the packed drink.
