Abstract
Description
Lactose-free high-calcium milk with double calcium content and preparation method thereof
[0001] priority
[0002] This application claims the priority benefit of the Chinese patent application with application date of January 18, 2024, application number: 202410074214.7, and invention name: "A lactose-free, double calcium content high-calcium milk and its preparation method". Technical Field
[0003] The present invention relates to the technical field of liquid milk preparation, in particular to lactose-free high-calcium milk with double calcium content and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0004] Calcium demand in my country is increasing, while the average daily calcium intake is generally below the recommended daily intake. Milk is a high-quality source of calcium, but the calcium content of currently marketed room-temperature high-calcium milk is primarily claimed to be between 120-150mg / 100mL. Existing high-calcium milks have yet to achieve a calcium content exceeding 200mg / 100mL.
[0005] The calcium content of high-calcium milk is primarily achieved through the addition of exogenous calcium supplements. These supplements are typically water-insoluble calcium salts, which tend to settle during shelf life, resulting in substandard calcium content. Currently, the conventional method for suspending calcium supplements in high-calcium milk is to combine carrageenan and microcrystalline cellulose, adding glyceryl monostearate as an emulsifier to prevent fat from floating.
[0006] However, in high-calcium milk with a calcium content of 200mg / 100mL or more, the increased amount of exogenous calcium added significantly increases the amount of calcium ions in the milk product, disrupting its ionization balance and stability. This prevents the exogenous calcium from being suspended, exacerbating the problem of fat floating. As a result of these issues, no high-calcium milk with a calcium content of 200mg / 100mL or more has yet been released. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The present invention aims to provide a high-calcium milk with a calcium content of more than 200 mg / 100 mL.
[0008] In a first aspect, in the high-calcium milk provided by the present invention, the mass ratio of raw milk, milk mineral salts, stabilizer and phosphate is (992-995):(4-5):(0.26-1.7):(0.5-1); in the stabilizer, the mass ratio of carrageenan, gellan gum and citrus fiber is (0-0.3):(0.23-0.4):(0-1).
[0009] The present invention uses a significantly higher amount of exogenous calcium than that used in prior art. To achieve suspension of the exogenous calcium, the present invention proposes the use of carrageenan, gellan gum, and citrus fiber as stabilizers for the first time, and provides an optimal ratio of carrageenan, gellan gum, and citrus fiber. After the exogenous calcium is added, some free calcium ions remain unsuspended. The present invention uses phosphate to chelate the free calcium ions in the milk system.
[0010] Specifically, in the high-calcium milk of the present invention, the phosphate includes one or both of sodium tripolyphosphate and sodium hexametaphosphate.
[0011] In addition to the suspension problem of exogenous calcium supplements, milk with a high calcium content will cause increased fat floating. The present invention slows down fat floating by standardizing the fat content of raw milk. Specifically, the fat content of the raw milk in the formula of the high-calcium milk of the present invention is 3.5-4.0g / 100g.
[0012] The high calcium milk provided by the present invention also includes: Nurica TM Lactase. Specifically, the lactase used in the present invention is Nurica TM Lactase. Using Nurica TM Lactase can not only achieve zero lactose, but also the oligosaccharides produced by lactase promote high calcium absorption. At the same time, the lower reducing sugar content in milk reduces the browning degree of milk. Therefore, the high-calcium milk prepared by the present invention has less fat floating in the milk observed from the sensory visual level.
[0013] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the high calcium milk provided by the present invention comprises 992-995 parts by weight of raw cow's milk, 3-5 parts by weight of milk mineral salt, 0.1-0.3 parts by weight of carrageenan, 0.23-0.40 parts by weight of gellan gum, 0.2-1.0 parts by weight of citrus fiber, 0.1-0.5 parts by weight of sodium tripolyphosphate, 0.1-0.5 parts by weight of sodium hexametaphosphate, Nurica TM Lactase 0.3 parts by weight and vitamin D3 0.010-0.035 parts by weight.
[0014] As a more preferred formula, the high calcium milk provided by the present invention comprises 992-995 parts by weight of raw cow's milk, 4.0-4.6 parts by weight of milk mineral salts, 0.1-0.3 parts by weight of carrageenan, 0.23-0.35 parts by weight of gellan gum, 0.2-0.8 parts by weight of citrus fiber, 0.1-0.5 parts by weight of sodium tripolyphosphate, 0.1-0.5 parts by weight of sodium hexametaphosphate, Nurica TM Lactase 0.3 parts by weight and vitamin D3 0.010-0.035 parts by weight.
[0015] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned high-calcium milk, comprising: premixing, mixing, volume setting, sterilization and homogenization, secondary sterilization and homogenization, enzymolysis and enzyme inactivation;
[0016] The process comprises: stirring milk mineral salts and a stabilizer in raw milk at 35-55° C. for 3-10 minutes, adding phosphate and vitamin D3, stirring for 3-10 minutes, and continuously heating to 70-90° C. and stirring for 10-30 minutes to complete the process; during the process, the weight of the raw milk is 30-160 times the total weight of the milk mineral salts, the stabilizer, the phosphate and the vitamin D3;
[0017] The total pressure of the secondary sterilization and homogenization is 230-260 bar, and the secondary pressure is 25-60 bar.

[0021] (3) After heating the raw milk obtained in step (1), the milk mineral salts and stabilizers premixed in step (2), as well as the premixed phosphates and vitamin D3 are added to the raw milk to obtain a mixed liquid.
[0022] (4) adding the remaining raw milk to the mixed liquid obtained in step (3), sterilizing and homogenizing the mixture, and performing secondary sterilization and homogenization to obtain a high-calcium milk semi-finished product.
[0023] (5) Add Nurica to the high calcium milk semi-finished product obtained in step (4) TM After enzymatic hydrolysis with lactase, the enzyme is inactivated to obtain the high-calcium milk.
[0024] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the preparation method provided by the present invention comprises:
[0025] 1) Raw milk fat standardization: Use centrifugation and other methods to control the raw milk fat content to 3.5-4.0g / 100g.
[0026] The preferred raw milk fat content is 3.5-3.7g / 100g.

When tested using flame atomic absorption spectrometry, the calcium content is measured in mg / 100 g. When converted to liquid high-calcium milk, the calcium content per 100 mL of high-calcium milk is slightly higher than the data in Table 2.
[0131] Table 2 Determination of calcium content in milk
[0132] From the results in Tables 1 and 2, it can be seen that compared with Example 4, Comparative Example 1 cannot meet the double calcium requirement due to the lower content of milk mineral salts used and the lower calcium content, and its original calcium content is significantly lower than that of Example 4.
[0133] In Comparative Example 2, a large amount of carrageenan was added, resulting in an extremely unstable gel system. As shown in Table 1, the viscosity of the high-calcium milk obtained in Comparative Example 2 was 12.69 cp, which was significantly higher than 5.20 cp in Example 4. The fineness was very poor and the milk was rather mushy.
[0134] In Comparative Example 3, the amount of gellan gum added was relatively small, and the added milk mineral salts could not be completely suspended. Therefore, in Comparative Example 3, the initial calcium content was 201 mg / 100 mg, but the calcium content dropped to 176 mg / 100 mg at the end of the sixth month, indicating a significant decrease in the calcium content of the product. Furthermore, the centrifugal sedimentation rate of the product obtained in Comparative Example 3 was 3.28%, and the average particle size was 2.35 μm, significantly higher than those in the examples.
[0135] In Comparative Example 4, the amount of citrus fiber added was too much, causing the citrus fiber to precipitate itself. Therefore, the average particle size of Comparative Example 4 was 8.79 μm, which was significantly higher than 0.6 μm of Example 4.
[0136] In Comparative Example 5, no phosphate was added, which could not chelate the excessive exogenous calcium, resulting in a system with more calcium ions and instability, which was specifically reflected in the high centrifugal sedimentation rate of the product and more sediment at the bottom.
[0137] In Comparative Example 6, excessive addition of phosphate resulted in a salty overall taste and a sharp drop in the pH value of milk. The centrifugal sedimentation rate was 1.98%, which was significantly higher than that in the examples.
[0138] The results in Table 1-2 show that the high-calcium milk prepared in the embodiments of the present invention can achieve a product calcium content of ≥200 mg / 100 mL, and the calcium content in the high-calcium milk is stable during the shelf life.
[0139] Experimental Example 3 Consumer Testing
[0140] Fifty ordinary consumers were selected to taste test the aforementioned beverages, assigning a comprehensive score based on milky flavor, fullness, smoothness, and texture, with a maximum score of 10. Higher scores for milky flavor, fullness, smoothness, and texture indicate better taste. The results are shown in Table 3.
[0141] Table 3 Consumer taste test results
[0142] In Comparative Example 7, ordinary lactase was used to replace Nurica TM Although the dosage of ordinary lactase was increased, the milk obtained in Comparative Example 7 had a higher reducing sugar content due to the high content of reducing sugars produced by the hydrolysis of lactose by ordinary lactase, which easily accelerated browning during heating or storage. As can be seen from Table 1, the milk obtained in Comparative Example 7 had a lower whiteness and a higher yellowness than the milk in the examples, resulting in easier sensory observation of fat floating.
[0143] Compared with Example 3, the homogenization pressure in Comparative Example 8 is relatively low, and the fat particles cannot be divided into smaller particles to a greater extent, and are easily aggregated and floated. Its centrifugal sedimentation rate, average particle size and clarification index are significantly higher than those in the example.
[0144] In Comparative Example 9, the homogenization pressure is relatively high, which easily destroys the fat globule membrane and releases fat, resulting in system instability and easy floating of fat. The centrifugal sedimentation rate, average particle size and clarification index are significantly higher than those in the embodiment.
[0145] In Comparative Example 10, due to the different order of adding phosphate and stabilizer, the thickness of the fat floating on the surface increased, the sedimentation at the bottom increased, and the centrifugal sedimentation rate increased.
[0146] In Comparative Example 11, since the fat content of the raw cow milk used was too high, fat was easily caused to float, and the centrifugal sedimentation rate, average particle size and clarification index were significantly higher than those in the embodiment.
[0147] In Comparative Example 12, since the fat content of the raw cow's milk used is too low, the milk flavor is weak and is not easily accepted by consumers.
[0148] In Comparative Example 13, the dissolution ratio is too low, so that the stabilizer cannot be completely dissolved in the milk, resulting in decreased thickening and suspension capabilities, which in turn causes the centrifugal sedimentation rate, average particle size and clarification index to be significantly higher than those in the examples, increased precipitation and low calcium content.
[0149] The results of comparative examples 7-13 show that the present invention can TM Lactase, adjustment of raw milk fat content, and optimization of the preparation process solved the problem of fat floating in high-calcium milk products.
