Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of dairy products, and in particular to milk for promoting calcium absorption and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the intensification of aging, the nutritional bottleneck of exclusive food for the middle-aged and elderly people needs to be solved urgently. The middle-aged and elderly people mainly have the following problems: First, the hidden hunger problem of the middle-aged and elderly: There is hidden hunger in the 18-59 age group, among which 98% of the middle-aged and elderly people are seriously deficient in calcium, and the daily calcium intake accounts for only 41% of the recommended amount. Second, the problem of muscle loss in the middle-aged and elderly: From about the age of 40, the muscle mass of the human body begins to gradually decrease. Between the ages of 40 and 70, the muscle mass is lost at a rate of about 8% every decade. Therefore, the daily dietary protein intake of Chinese elderly people needs to be supplemented. Third, the problem of joint degeneration in the middle-aged and elderly: After entering middle age, all tissues and organs of the body will age and degenerate, and the joints of bones and tissues will also undergo senile degenerative changes. If fractures occur and the meniscus and soft tissues of the joints are worn, it will also cause premature degeneration and aging.

[0003] Milk and dairy products are rich in calcium and have a high absorption rate. They are the best source of dietary calcium and can effectively solve the problem of insufficient dietary calcium intake in the country and promote bone health. At the same time, the addition of calcium β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (CaHMB) can prevent muscle loss and increase muscle protein synthesis. However, when this raw material is combined with protein-containing products, protein precipitation will occur.

[0004] CN114568515A discloses a method for preparing a protein solution containing calcium β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate, wherein the pH of the CaHMB raw material aqueous solution is adjusted to a weak acidity (6.5-7.0) by adding an acid-base regulator (citric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, ascorbic acid), and then the protein solution + acid-base regulator (KOH, KOH, NaOH, sodium bicarbonate) are added to the aqueous solution to adjust the pH to 6.7-6.9, thereby solving the denaturation problem of CaHMB in the protein solution (reconstituted milk), and the addition amount is 1-6%. However, this method requires the use of acid-base additives, which does not conform to the concept of green, low-carbon, and healthy life.

[0005] Therefore, based on the objective nutritional gaps such as insufficient dietary calcium intake and joint and muscle degeneration among the middle-aged and elderly people, as well as the subjective needs of middle-aged and elderly consumers, the design and development of native high-calcium activity-fortified milk for middle-aged and elderly people, while avoiding the use of additives, has practical significance for promoting healthy aging. Summary of the invention

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a milk for promoting calcium absorption and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method provided by the present invention achieves the technical effects of improving the stability of milk and enhancing the taste without any food thickeners or edible flavors, and the obtained milk simultaneously has the functional effects of promoting calcium absorption and improving bone density.

[0007] To achieve this purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a preparation method of a milk for promoting calcium absorption, and the preparation method includes the following steps:

[0009] (1) Degrease raw milk to obtain skim milk and cream;

[0010] (2) Perform membrane treatment on the skim milk obtained in step (1) to obtain membrane-treated milk;

[0011] (3) Mix the membrane-treated milk obtained in step (2) with the cream obtained in step (1) to obtain fat-backfilled milk;

[0012] (4) Mix sodium hyaluronate and calcium β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate to obtain a premix; mix the premix with the fat-backfilled milk obtained in step (3), and then perform homogenization treatment and sterilization treatment to obtain the milk for promoting calcium absorption.

[0013] In the prior art, under the condition of no food additives such as stabilizers, acid-base regulators, emulsifiers or edible flavors, there are the following problems in achieving a neutral normal-temperature milk product with native high calcium, native high-index protein, and promoting bone, muscle and joint health:

[0014] First, the product stability is poor:

[0015] (1) When the native protein in milk ≥ 5.6 g / 100 mL and native high calcium ≥ 160 mg / 100 mL are subjected to ultra-high temperature instantaneous sterilization (UHT sterilization), it is easy to cause tube fouling and protein denaturation, which affects the product stability within a 6-month shelf life. During storage, fat floating or protein precipitation will occur, and even continuous production and filling cannot be completed.

[0016] (2) The functional ingredient calcium β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (CaHMB) is alkaline, and the pH of its 1% aqueous solution is 7.2 - 7.5. Its water solubility and thermal stability in milk are poor. When added to neutral milk, local protein denaturation will occur when heated, thus affecting the system stability within the product shelf life. The reason is that CaHMB exists in milk in an ionic form and is very easy to form calcium bridges between protein molecules, resulting in protein precipitation.

[0017] Second, the product taste is poor:

[0018] (1) In the processing of raw high-nutrition milk (raw protein ≥ 5.6 g / 100 mL, raw high calcium ≥ 160 mg / 100 mL), the fat, protein, and lactose molecules will be concentrated, broken, and heated, resulting in a rough taste and astringency in the product.

[0019] (2) CaHMB has a bitter taste, and directly adding it to milk will cause bad flavor and is not acceptable to consumers.

[0020] Based on the above defects, the present invention provides a brand-new method for preparing milk. From the aspect of the formula, the present invention introduces sodium hyaluronate and adopts a process of premixing with CaHMB. Since sodium hyaluronate has a water-retaining effect similar to that of a thickener, it can wrap the Ca 2+ ions to form a water film, preventing proteins from forming calcium bridges with calcium, thereby causing protein denaturation; on the other hand, the ion-wrapping effect of sodium hyaluronate on CaHMB will change the triple helix structure of sodium hyaluronate, thus solving its dissolution problem in liquid milk to a certain extent; in addition, sodium hyaluronate also synergistically improves the effects of promoting calcium absorption and improving bone density with CaHMB.

[0021] From the aspect of the process, the present invention adjusts the content ratio of β-lactoglobulin and α-lactalbumin in the milk background through a membrane filtration treatment process. Macroscopically, it locks the heat-sensitive protein whey protein in neutral milk. The structures of α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin unfold and decompose into monomers, exposing hydrophobic residues. Finally, a premix of sodium hyaluronate and CaHMB is added, and its linear non-sulfated structure attaches to the hydrophobic residues of milk proteins, forming a hydrophilic carrier to dissolve sodium hyaluronate in liquid milk and improve solubility; at the same time, the formed hydrophilic carrier can effectively avoid the denaturation of milk proteins caused by heat treatment and wrap the free calcium ions of CaHMB, thereby effectively ensuring the thermal stability during subsequent sterilization. The bovine colostrum after membrane treatment forms a stable hydrophilic carrier structure together with sodium hyaluronate and CaHMB. At the same time, sodium hyaluronate can selectively combine with the Ca 2+ of CaHMB to form a water film to wrap the stable neutral small units, thereby realizing the preparation of room-temperature sodium hyaluronate milk with a good tissue state within a shelf life of 6 months without any thickeners or stabilizers, and the milk can maintain the effects of no oxidation and non-enzymatic browning under the condition of being kept at 37°C. In addition, the membrane treatment process adopted by the present invention adjusts the lactose content, and combined with the addition of sodium hyaluronate, it can increase the smooth taste of the product and solve the astringency problem existing in raw high-nutrition milk.

[0022] Preferably, the materials in step (4) include, by weight: 1000 parts of fat-backfilled milk, 0.1 - 0.2 parts of sodium hyaluronate (such as 0.1 part, 0.2 part, etc.), and 0.05 - 1 part of calcium β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (such as 0.05 part, 0.1 part, 0.2 part, 0.5 part, 0.8 part, 1 part, etc.).

On this basis, sodium hyaluronate with properties similar to those of an emulsifier is added, which can enhance the smooth taste of the product and solve the astringency problem existing in the original high-nutrition milk.

[0122]

[0123] It can be seen from the test results that:

[0124] (1) It can be seen from Examples 1, 7, 9 - 10 that the present invention adjusts the content ratio of β - lactoglobulin and α - lactalbumin in raw milk through a membrane treatment process, and through the process of introducing sodium hyaluronate and combining premixing, synergistically solves the problems that CaHMB causes milk denaturation due to alkalinity and has a bitter taste and poor taste, effectively realizes the preparation of milk with good stability, good taste, and functions of promoting calcium absorption and improving bone density.

[0125] (2) It can be seen from the comparison of Examples 1, 7, 9 - 10 that the present invention further optimizes the product formula and adopts a membrane treatment process, which has further improved product stability such as no precipitation, no protein denaturation, and uniform tissue state within a 6 - month shelf life at room temperature, good taste without astringency or tastelessness, and at the same time, the technical effect that sodium hyaluronate:N - acetylglucosamine = 2:5 can significantly promote calcium absorption.

[0126] (3) It can be seen from the comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 that when no sodium hyaluronate is added, the stability of the obtained milk decreases, and even if the ratio of α - lactalbumin and β - lactoglobulin in the milk is adjusted, the problem of denaturation of calcium β - hydroxy - β - methylbutyrate in the milk protein system cannot be solved, and pipe clogging occurs after ultra - high temperature sterilization, and the product has particle precipitation;

[0127] It can be seen from the comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 that when the premixing process is not adopted, the obtained milk undergoes protein precipitation after being placed at room temperature for 3 days, and the shelf - life stability is poor, and it is impossible to ensure the stability of the product with a 6 - month shelf life.

[0128] From the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that when raw milk is not subjected to membrane treatment, the stability of the obtained milk decreases: the functional ingredients sodium hyaluronate, N-acetylglucosamine, and calcium β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate react with proteins to cause flocculation reactions, resulting in protein denaturation, causing instability in the product system, scaling and tube fouling during the ultra-high temperature sterilization stage, and the product cannot be filled.

[0129] The applicant declares that the above description is only the specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention fall within the protection scope and the disclosure scope of the present invention.
