Embodiment 1

[0056] Embodiment 1: the surface treatment of milk sheet

[0057] A carbohydrate solution was prepared for surface treatment of milk-based tablets. Described carbohydrate solution is:

[0058] • A sucrose solution containing 50% dry matter sucrose.

[0059] • Maltodextrin solution containing 50% dry matter maltodextrin DE29.

[0063] Surface treatment of milk-based tablets with sucrose

[0064] Milk-based tablets prepared from coffee whitener base A or B (Table 1, base powder A or B) were sprayed with sucrose solution (50% dry matter sucrose), as shown in Table 2 below.

Embodiment 2

[0083] Example 2: Friability Analysis of Milk-Based Tablets Surface-Treated with Carbohydrates

[0084] The friability analysis was performed on milk-based tablets surface-treated with carbohydrates prepared as in Example 1 Run 2 (Table 2b). As a reference, friability analysis was also performed on milk-based tablets that were not surface-treated with carbohydrates. Table 4 below shows the results of the friability analysis.

[0088] The friability is mainly perceived, ie by touch, during handling of the tablets.

[0089] It can be clearly seen that the milk-based tablet not surface-treated with carbohydrates has a high friability of 19.7%. This is in contrast to the milk-based tablets surface-treated with carbohydrates, which had a significan...

Embodiment 3

[0090] Example 3: Dissolution Analysis of Milk-Based Tablets Surface-Treated with Carbohydrates

[0091] The dissolution properties of carbohydrate-surface-treated milk-based tablets prepared as described below were analyzed. This analysis was performed to ensure that the surface treatment with carbohydrates had no adverse effect on the milk-based tablet. Table 5 below shows the results.

[0092]

[0093] table 5

[0094] It can clearly be seen that the surface treatment of the milk-based tablet with carbohydrates has no adverse effect on the dissolution properties of the milk-based tablet. This is important because milk-based tablets surface-treated with carbohydrates are used in the beverage industry, where the dissolution rate of the milk-based tablets is very important.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for the manufacture of soluble milk-based tablets and in particular to milk-based tablets surface-treated with a carbohydrate. The invention also relates to the use of a concentrated carbohydrate solution to reduce a friability of a milk-based tablet. The soluble milk-based tablet surface-treated with the carbohydrate has applications in the beverage industry.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of soluble milk-based tablets, in particular to soluble milk-based tablets surface-treated with carbohydrates. Background of the invention [0002] Milk-based powders are widely used in beverages such as coffee and tea. Milk-based powders are used as a substitute for fresh milk in beverages. [0003] Milk-based powders have a long shelf life compared to fresh milk because most of the moisture for microbial growth is removed. Removal of moisture produces a porous milk-based powder that is readily soluble in beverages. [0004] The milk-based powder is stored in a container and needs to be spooned into the drink. The disadvantage of milk-based powders is that they are not easy to transport and cannot be used in "on-the-go" situations. However, milk-based tablets address some of the disadvantages of milk-based powders. [0005] EP1048216 discloses a process for the preparation of a den...
