preparation example Construction

[0176] Calcium-fortified water products of the present invention can be prepared by adding a sufficient amount of an added calcium source to the water to obtain the desired elemental calcium concentration, or by adding an appropriate amount of water to a pre-weighed calcium source. When the added calcium source is added to the water, it is preferred to add any organic acid or mixture of organic acids first.

[0177] Another method is to prepare at least one aqueous premix comprising at least one calcium source ingredient. The remaining ingredients of the premix and any calcium source are then added directly to the water. It is preferred to add any organic acid or mixture of organic acids to the water prior to adding any premix or any other ingredients of the calcium source. Most preferably, any premix comprising at least one organic acid is added to the water after any organic acid or mixture of organic acids is added to the water, but before any other ingredients of the calc...

Embodiment 1

[0182] 1000 ml of calcium fortified water having an average sensory rating of at least 5 and containing 633 ppm calcium is prepared as follows:

[0183] a) Dissolve 1.034 grams of citric acid and 1.082 grams of malic acid in 900 milliliters of water.

[0184] b) Add 1.173 grams of calcium hydroxide to 100 ml of water.

[0185] c) Add 100ml calcium hydroxide mixture to 900ml acid solution, mix well until clear.

Embodiment 2

[0187] 1000 ml of a calcium-fortified soft drink having an average sensory rating of at least 5 and containing 844 ppm calcium is prepared as follows:

[0188] a) Dissolve 1.377 grams of citric acid and 1.442 grams of malic acid in 900 milliliters of water.

[0189] b) Add 1.563 grams of calcium hydroxide to 100 milliliters of water.

[0190] c) Add this 100ml calcium hydroxide mixture to 900milligrams of acid solution and mix well until clear.

[0191] d) In 1000 ml of calcium fortified water, 4 volumes of carbon dioxide were charged to form a calcium fortified soft drink containing 844 ppm calcium.

Abstract

Low acid beverages can be further fortified with calcium without adversely affecting the taste or texture of the beverage. These products have a more bioavailable source of calcium and contain an additional 3% to 100% of the recommended daily allowance of calcium per unit serving. Calcium fortified water compositions of the present invention have elemental calcium concentrations up to 850 ppm. The added calcium source that is used to fortify the beverages of the present invention is added directly to the beverages of the present invention or may be added in the form of at least one premix.

Description

[0001] This is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 09 / 162,864, filed September 29, 1998, which is co-pending with the present application. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to low acid beverages which are nutritionally fortified with an effective amount of calcium. More specifically, the present invention relates to water and fluid milks which are fortified with calcium without adversely affecting their taste or texture. These fortified products have an additional source of bioavailable calcium. Background of the invention [0003] Osteoporosis, a degenerative bone disease, has been recognized as a major public health problem in many countries. This is the most common bone disease in the world, and it has caused a significant burden on human beings in terms of quality of life and medical costs. [0004] Medical authorities have established that dietary calcium deficiency is an important factor in the devel...
