Abstract

The present invention concerns the use of a composition containing a hydroxypropyl phosphate crosslinked starch and a white dextrin for producing fresh milk products with a reduced fat content, characterised in that: —the hydroxypropyl phosphate crosslinked starch has a degree of substitution of between 0.09 and 0.2, preferably between 0.09 and 0.14, and more preferably between 0.10 and 0.11, and —the white dextrin has ∘a DE of less than 5, preferably less than 3, more preferably less than 2, ∘a viscosity at 40% dry matter of between 3600 and 6000 mPa·s, and ∘a solubles content of less than 30%.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for preparing a fresh milk product with a reduced fat content relative to a reference fresh milk product, said fresh milk product comprising components comprising:
milk;
sugar;
cream;
carrageenans, guar gum or xanthan gum;
a flavoring; and
optionally a dye,
the method comprising the step of adding a crosslinked hydroxypropyl starch phosphate and a white dextrin to the components of said fresh milk product, wherein:
the crosslinked hydroxypropyl starch phosphate has a degree of substitution of between 0.09 and 0.2; and
the white dextrin has:
a dextrose equivalent (DE) of less than 5,
a viscosity at 40% solids of between 3600 and 6000 mPa·s, and
a solubles content of less than 30%.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reduced fat content is a reduction in total fat content of 5% to 50% by weight relative to the reference fresh milk product, the reference fresh milk product being identical to the fresh milk product produced but for the addition of the crosslinked hydroxypropyl starch phosphate and the white dextrin.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the crosslinked hydroxypropyl starch phosphate and the white dextrin originates from a starch chosen from corn, potato, sweet potato, wheat, rice, sago, tapioca, corn, rice, pea, quinoa, and sorghum.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
the crosslinked hydroxypropyl starch phosphate is incorporated into the fresh milk product in a content of between 0.4% and 5% by weight, and
the white dextrin is incorporated into the fresh milk product in a content of between 0.1% and 2% by weight.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fresh milk product is chosen from dessert creams, fermented products, milk drinks, butter, ice creams, and cheese sauces.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the crosslinked hydroxypropyl starch phosphate has a degree of substitution of between 0.09 and 0.14.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the crosslinked hydroxypropyl starch phosphate has a degree of substitution of approximately 0.10 to 0.11.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the dextrose equivalent is less than 3.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the dextrose equivalent is less than 2.

10. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reduced fat content is a reduction of about 50% by weight of the total fat content of said fresh milk product.

11. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the origin of the starch for the crosslinked hydroxypropyl starch phosphate and the white dextrin is:
waxy corn, for the crosslinked hydroxypropyl starch phosphate, and/or
pea, for the white dextrin.

12. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
the crosslinked hydroxypropyl starch phosphate is incorporated into the fresh milk product in a content of between 1.5% and 5% by weight, and
the white dextrin is incorporated into the fresh milk product in a content of between 0.3% and 0.5% by weight.

13. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
the crosslinked hydroxypropyl starch phosphate is incorporated into the fresh milk product in a content of approximately 3.7% by weight, and
the white dextrin is incorporated into the fresh milk product in a content about approximately 0.4% by weight.

14. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fresh milk product is dessert creams.
