Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to a method for preparing a spray-dried dairy powder for forming a milk beverage when dissolved in a beverage medium, the method comprising: forming a dairy composition by: (i) adding a sugar composition to a dairy liquid; or (ii) blending a sugar solution with a dairy liquid, and spray-drying the dairy composition to form a spray-dried dairy powder comprising amorphous sugar, wherein the sugar composition or the sugar solution provides from 10 to 40 wt. % sugar by weight of the spray-dried dairy powder and wherein the sugar is selected from sucrose, lactose and a mixture thereof.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for preparing a spray-dried dairy powder for forming a milk beverage when dissolved in a beverage medium, the method comprising: forming a dairy composition by adding a sugar composition to a dairy liquid, and spray-drying the dairy composition to form the spray-dried dairy powder comprising amorphous sugar, wherein the sugar composition provides from 10 to 40 wt. % sugar by weight of the spray-dried dairy powder and wherein the sugar is selected from sucrose, lactose and a mixture thereof, and wherein the sugar composition is amorphous sugar. 2. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the dairy liquid comprises whole milk or a whole-milk concentrate. 3. The method for preparing a spray-dried dairy powder for forming a milk beverage when dissolved in a beverage medium according to claim 1 , the spray-dried dairy powder comprising from 10 to 40 wt. % amorphous sucrose. 4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the spray-dried dairy powder comprises amorphous lactose. 5. The method for preparing a spray-dried dairy powder for forming a milk beverage when dissolved in a beverage medium according to claim 1 , wherein the amorphous sugar comprises up to 40 wt. % amorphous sucrose by weight of the spray-dried dairy powder. 6. The method according to claim 1 , comprising from 20 to 30 wt. % amorphous sucrose by weight of the spray-dried dairy powder. 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the amorphous sugar comprises amorphous lactose. 8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the spray-dried dairy powder is at least partially agglomerated. 9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the amorphous sugar consists of amorphous lactose. 10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the at least partially agglomerated, spray-dried dairy powder has a particle size X50 of from 100 to 200 microns. 11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the spray-dried dairy powder comprises less than 35 v. % of particles having a diameter of 90 microns or less. 12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the spray-dried dairy powder comprises less than 32.5 v. % of particles having a diameter of 90 microns or less. 13. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the spray-dried dairy powder comprises less than 30 v. % of particles having a diameter of 90 microns or less. 14. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the spray-dried dairy powder comprises from 10 to 40 wt. % amorphous sucrose.
