Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of protecting a dairy product, including fresh milk and milk powder from oxidation by adding an efficacious amount of a composition including rosmarinic acid.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method of protecting a dairy product from oxidation, comprising adding spearmint extract to the dairy product in an amount effective to protect the dairy product from light induced oxidation and auto-oxidation, wherein the spearmint extract is present in the dairy product in an amount that contains at least 1.3 mg/kg rosmarinic acid. 2. A method of protecting milk powder from oxidation, comprising adding rosmarinic acid to liquid milk in an amount effective to protect against light induced oxidation and auto-oxidation and drying the liquid milk and rosmarinic acid composition to create milk powder. 3. A method of extending the shelf life of milk powder, comprising adding rosmarinic acid to liquid milk in an amount effective to protect against light induced oxidation and auto-oxidation and drying the liquid milk and rosmarinic acid composition to create milk powder. 4. The method of claim 2 or 3 , wherein rosmarinic acid is present in the milk powder in an amount of at least 1.3 mg/kg.
