Abstract:
A method of making a pressurized packaged liquid beverage including filling a container including a one-way valve with a liquid mixture including a base liquid and a gum; sealing the container; introducing a volume of gas through the one-way valve after sealing the container; and agitating the container. When the container is opened, the liquid mixture increases in volume and separates into a liquid phase and a drinkable foam phase, which may persist for an extended period of time. The base liquid includes milk, coffee, fruit juice, or mixtures thereof.
Abstract:
Protein-containing suspensions such as milk that are preserved by a UHT treatment, show age gelation. This age gelation can be reduced by inclusion of an emulsifier with an HLB value below 16.
Abstract:
A sterile, degassed milk pap containing milk and a swollen cereal product is prepared by mixing heated milk with a cereal product to swell the cereal product during mixing, and after which, the mixture is heated further so that vegetative microbes are destroyed, the further-heated mixture is degassed to avoid oxidation of the mixture, the degassed mixture is heated under ultra-high-temperature conditions to sterilize the mixture, and then, the sterilized mixture is cooled.
