International Classification:

A23L 105
A23L 1304

US Classification:

426590

Abstract:

The present invention is a liquid nutritional product with improved physical stability comprising: (a) a liquid nutritional mixture containing fat at a concentration sufficient to have the liquid nutritional mixture be susceptible to creaming and containing suspended minerals present at a concentration sufficient to have the liquid nutritional mixture be susceptible to sedimentation; (b) a carrageenan/microcrystalline cellulose/carboxymethyl cellulose additive composition comprising: (i) iota-carrageenan present in an amount of about 100-800 ppm of the liquid nutritional product; (ii) a mixture of microcrystalline cellulose/carboxymethyl cellulose, the mixture present in an amount of from about 600-3000 ppm of the liquid nutritional product. In a preferred embodiment, microcrystalline cellulose is present in a range of from about 1000 ppm to about 2500 ppm, while the iota-carrageenan is present in a range of from about 100 ppm to about 300.

Assignee:

Abbott Laboratories - Abbott Park IL

International Classification:

A23L 105
A23L 1275

US Classification:

426 72

Abstract:

Liquid, nutritionally complete formulas are disclosed with improved physical stability. The nutritionally complete formulas are pourable, yet are able to hold minerals, insoluble fiber and flavoring agents such as cocoa powder in suspension without the formation of a sediment that is not readily redispersible. The invention comprises the use of gellan gum at a concentration of between 10-500 parts per million. Although gellan gum alone is sufficient, the nutritionally complete formula may also comprise other stabilizers such as carrageenan and/or carboxymethylcellulose.
