Benefits of technology

[0009]It has been discovered that a calcium polyphosphate salt can be produced and maintained in equilibrium with SHMP in such a manner so as to not affect the preservative action of SHMP. The average polyphosphate chain length of SHMP is 19-25, which makes it a ve

[0064]3. While high shear mixing the solution from (2), add 3.831 g Ca(OH)2.

[0065]4. Mix for 10-15 minutes.

[0066]5. While high shear mixing the solution from (4), add 8.51 g citric acid (ca. 23% of total citric acid).

[0067]6. Mix for 5 minutes.

[0068]7. In another vessel, add 3280.74 g distilled water (ca. 75% of total water).

[0069]8. While high shear mixing the water, add 4.92 g sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) to dissolve.

[0070]9. While high shear mixing the solution from (8), add 28.71 g citric acid (ca. 78% of total citric acid).

[0071]10. To the solution from (9), add flavors, colors and sweeteners and mix well.

[0072]11. To achieve the finished beverage, to the solution from (10) add the solution from (6) and mix well.

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...
