Benefits of technology

The patent describes using calcium polyphosphate particles to purify beverages and remove unwanted flavors. The particles are insoluble in typical beverage pH, so a purification step can be used to remove potassium ions that may affect flavor. The purified material also releases its calcium cations at gastric pH, making the calcium bioavailable. Additionally, the patent explains that using an oil-in-water (O / W) emulsion can mask the flavor that may come from displaced ions.

Problems solved by technology

This amorphous glass solid is unstable in that form and will not mix homogenously with aqueous beverages.

Plant Batch

[0083]1. Add 80% of the batch's process water to the blend tank and start agitator and recirculation pump.

[0084]2. Add the Ca(OH)2 to the tank and agitate to disperse.

[0085]3. Add the sodium potassium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) to the above solution as it is being agitated and continue agitating from 5 minutes up to 12 minutes.

[0086]4. To the tank add a portion of the citric acid that equals 21.48% of the total citric acid being added to the batch.

[0087]5. Mix for 2-5 minutes, then circulate through the recirculation loop to remove any unreacted calcium.

[0088]6. While agitating the above solution, add sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) to dissolve.

[0089]7. Add flavors, colors and sweeteners and agitate to mix ingredients well.

[0090]8. Add the remaining citric acid.

[0091]9. Add the remaining process water and agitate well until homogenous.

Abstract

An equilibrium solution, such as a beverage product, containing a calcium salt of a sequestrant (such as calcium hexametaphosphate), coordinated compound of a calcium sequestrant and a sequestrant allows the delivery of bio-available calcium while maintaining the preservative qualities of the sequestrant (such as sodium hexametaphosphate). In one embodiment, the reaction of a salt such as calcium hydroxide and a sequestrant such as sodium potassium hexametaphosphate (sodium potassium polyphosphate) yields such an equilibrium solution in a beverage matrix. Calcium hexametaphosphate having a relatively short phosphate chain is disclosed, as well as the method of making that material, and beverage compositions containing the material together with a sequestrant preservative, such as SHMP.

Description

[0001]The present application is based on and claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62 / 157,680, Sarama and Arcuino, filed May 6, 2015, incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]The present invention relates to the formulation of mineral fortified beverage products containing sodium hexametaphosphate as a preservative.[0003]Beverage products frequently utilize sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) as a preservative. It is important to have an effective preservative in beverage products since such products tend to require a relatively long shelf life from manufacture to retail outlet to drinking by the consumer. SHMP, although often referred to as a hexametaphosphate, technically is a polyphosphate and a powerful chelating agent. The SHMP functions as a preservative by extracting divalent metallic ions from microbial enzymatic systems. This prevents calcium, iron and magnesium utilization by microorganisms; this interrupts their physiology, resulting in th...
