DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] The first aspect of the present invention provides a coagulated fermented milk, wherein the raw materials of the coagulated fermented milk include, by weight percentage: 0.8-1.2% emulsified sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, 0.002% starter, and the remainder raw milk;

[0024] The emulsified sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is prepared by a method comprising at least the following process: mixing sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and an emulsifier at 2500-3500 r / min at 70-80° C., wherein the mass ratio of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose to the emulsifier is (10-15):(1-3), to obtain the emulsified sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.

[0025] The present invention does not limit the type of the raw milk, which may include at least one of raw cow's milk, raw goat's milk, raw camel's milk, reconstituted milk, and whole milk.

[0026] The fermentation agent can be any fermentation agent commonly used in the art, for example, it can include at least one of thermophilic Streptococcus and bulgaricus Lactobacillus. In some embodiments, the fermentation agent includes thermophilic Streptococcus and bulgaricus Lactobacillus at a mass ratio of 1:1, which is conducive to full fermentation and stimulates the milky aroma of fermented milk.

[0027] Coagulated fermented milk often has the problem of whey precipitation, so most of the coagulated fermented milk on the market now adds gelatin to improve the stability of the fermented milk gel system to avoid the problem of whey precipitation. However, gelatin has safety risks of unknown origin.

[0028] The inventors found that at 70-80°C, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and an emulsifier are mixed at 2500-3500 r / min, wherein the mass ratio of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose to the emulsifier is (10-15):(1-3), to obtain emulsified sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. By adding 0.8-1.2% by mass of the above-mentioned emulsified sodium carboxymethyl cellulose to the raw material system of the coagulated fermented milk of the present invention, gelatin can be replaced, and the water retention properties of the coagulated fermented milk can be significantly improved, thereby avoiding the problem of whey precipitation, and further helping to enhance the flavor and taste of the coagulated fermented milk.

[0029] The present invention does not limit the mixing time. The end point is that the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and the emulsifier are mixed evenly so that they can fully act. The mixing time can be adjusted according to the mass of the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and the emulsifier. For example, when the mass of the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is 5-15g, preferably 10g, and the mass of the emulsifier is 0.5-3g, preferably 1g, the mixing time is 3-7min, so that the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and the emulsifier are fully mixed and acted.

[0030] The coagulated fermented milk provided by the present invention has a simple raw material formula without a large amount of additives. By using emulsified sodium carboxymethyl cellulose to replace gelatin to maintain the stability of the product, the problem of whey precipitation can be avoided in the shelf life of the shelf-life product. Moreover, the coagulated fermented milk has a more uniform state and a more uniform texture during the shelf life; the milk flavor is rich and the aroma is coordinated; the taste is delicate and thick, the taste is uniform, the taste is fresh and elastic, and the milk does not contain gelatin, thereby avoiding the safety hazard of unknown source of gelatin.

[0031] Furthermore, the emulsified sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is prepared by a method comprising at least the following process: mixing sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and an emulsifier at 3000 r / min at 75°C to obtain emulsified sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, which can further improve the texture, taste and flavor of the above-mentioned coagulated fermented milk, making the product more stable during the shelf life.

[0032] When the mass percentage of the emulsified sodium carboxymethyl cellulose in the coagulated fermented milk raw material of the present invention is 1%, it is more conducive to improving the texture, taste, flavor and stability of the product.

[0033] In some embodiments, the raw materials of the coagulated fermented milk further include 0.8-1.2% citrus fiber in terms of mass percentage, and the synergistic effect of the citrus fiber and the emulsified sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is beneficial to increase the milk flavor of the coagulated fermented milk and improve the taste of the product.

[0034] Furthermore, the raw materials of the above-mentioned coagulated fermented milk also include 1% citrus fiber according to the mass percentage. Within this mass range, the synergistic effect of citrus fiber and emulsified cellulose is better, making the product have a richer milk flavor and a better taste.

[0035] The above-mentioned emulsifier includes at least one of mono- and di-glycerol fatty acid esters and monolaurin, which can better modify sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, so that the prepared emulsified sodium carboxymethyl cellulose can better improve the texture, taste, flavor and stability of coagulated fermented milk.

[0036] In order to increase the flavor and taste of the product, the raw materials of the above-mentioned coagulated fermented milk also include at least one of sweeteners and fruit juice.

[0037] Furthermore, the above-mentioned fruit juice includes at least one of red date juice, pear juice, orange juice and apple juice.

[0038] In some embodiments, the solidified fermented milk raw material includes 0.8% by weight of red date juice, so that the solidified fermented milk has a good red date flavor.

[0039] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned coagulated fermented milk, comprising the following steps:

[0040] 1) mixing a raw material system including raw milk and emulsified sodium carboxymethyl cellulose to obtain a first material;

[0041] 2) homogenizing and sterilizing the first material to obtain a second material;

[0042] 3) adding a starter to the second material and fermenting the second material, and terminating the fermentation when the fermentation acidity is 70°T-75°T to obtain the coagulated fermented milk.

[0043] In the above step 1, in order to make the raw material system including raw milk and emulsified sodium carboxymethyl cellulose fully mixed and react, stirring can be performed at 55° C. for 25 minutes.

[0044] The present invention does not particularly limit the conditions for homogenization and sterilization in the above step 2). For example, the homogenization pressure may be 30 / 180 bar, and the sterilization conditions may be a sterilization temperature of 95° C. and a sterilization time of 300 s.

[0045] It is understandable that when the sterilization in step 2) is heat sterilization, the fermentation agent needs to be added after cooling in advance to avoid inactivation of the fermentation agent at an inappropriately high temperature. For example, the fermentation agent can be added after cooling to 40-43°C.

[0046] In the above step 3), after the fermentation agent is added to the second material, it needs to be mixed evenly, which is conducive to the fermentation agent being evenly dispersed in the second material, so that the fermentation action in the second material is evenly carried out at all positions.

[0047] The present invention does not particularly limit the fermentation temperature. The optimum fermentation temperature can be determined according to the characteristics of the fermentation agent. For example, when the fermentation agent includes thermophilic Streptococcus and bulgaricus Lactobacillus, the fermentation temperature can be determined to be 43°C, which is beneficial to improving the activity of the fermentation agent, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of the fermentation.

[0048] When the fermented yogurt is at 70°T-75°T, the fermentation is terminated to obtain the coagulated fermented milk of the present invention.

[0049] The preparation method is easy to operate and is suitable for large-scale industrial production. The coagulated fermented milk prepared by the preparation method has good texture, taste, flavor and stability.

[0050] In step 2), the material is generally degassed before homogenization to protect the homogenization equipment. The degassing conditions may be 65° C. and 18 MPa.

[0051] It is understood that in order to ensure that the fermentation process is carried out in a sterile environment, after the fermentation agent is added in the above step 3), the system can also be transferred into a fermentation tank filled with nitrogen through a sterile filtration device.

[0052] Generally, after fermentation is completed, the product can be cooled and released from the warehouse after 12 hours of ripening.

[0053] Furthermore, the first material further comprises citrus fiber. That is, when the raw materials of the coagulated fermented milk comprise citrus fiber, the citrus fiber needs to be added in step 1.

[0054] Hereinafter, the coagulated fermented milk and the preparation method thereof of the present invention will be described in more detail through specific examples.

The test was repeated three times for each product, and the average value was taken to obtain the hardness and viscoelasticity test results, as shown in Table 3.

[0127] 2. Test results

[0128] Table 1 Sensory evaluation standards

[0129]

[0130] Table 2 Sensory evaluation results of products

[0131]

[0132]

[0133]

[0134] From the results in Table 2, it can be seen that the products of each embodiment have good tissue state, taste and flavor, no whey precipitation, rich characteristic flavor, harmonious aroma, delicate and thick taste, moderate sour and sweet, and uniform taste.

[0135] By comparing the embodiments with the comparative examples, it can be seen that the following factors may affect the sensory evaluation of the product:

[0136] 1. Differences in whether sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is emulsified: Comparing Examples 1-3 with Comparative Examples 3 and 9, if sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is not emulsified, the product tastes thin and whey precipitation will occur in the final product, affecting the shelf life stability of the product;

[0137] 2. The effects of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and citrus fiber in synergistically enhancing product stability, flavor and taste, and the difference between gelatin and compound stabilizers: Comparing Examples 1-3 with Comparative Example 4, the performance of the products synergistically prepared by sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and citrus fiber is similar to that of the currently commercially available solidified yogurt products (gelatin, compound stabilizer system), the product is in good condition, there is no whey precipitation, it meets the development needs, meets the expectation of a simple formula, is differentiated from competing products on the market, and improves product competitiveness;

[0138] 3. Differences in the emulsification process conditions of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose: Comparing Examples 1-3 with Comparative Examples 5-6 and 10-11, the emulsification process conditions are stirred at 70-80°C, the stirring frequency is 2500-3500r / min, and the general stirring time can be between 3-7min. The product has a strong milky flavor, a harmonious aroma, no whey precipitation, a delicate and thick taste, and moderate sweetness and sourness. If this process range is exceeded, the final product state and flavor do not meet the development requirements;

[0139] 4. Range of addition amount of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and citrus fiber: Comparing Examples 4-5 with Comparative Examples 1-2, when the addition amount of emulsified carboxymethyl cellulose: citrus fiber is (8-12): (8-12) g / kg, the product has a strong milky flavor, a harmonious aroma, no whey precipitation, a delicate and thick taste, and a moderate sweetness and sourness. If the addition amount exceeds this range, the state and flavor of the final product do not meet the development requirements;

[0140] 5. The difference between the synergistic effect of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and citrus fiber and the addition of a single raw material: Comparing Examples 1, 4, 5 and Comparative Examples 7-8, when carboxymethyl cellulose: citrus fiber (8-12): (8-12), the product has a strong milky flavor, a harmonious aroma, no whey precipitation, a delicate and thick taste, and a moderate sweet and sour taste. If only one of the raw materials is added alone, the final product state and flavor do not meet the development requirements.

[0141] Table 3 Whey precipitation height, hardness and viscoelasticity of the products

[0142]

[0143] From the results in Table 3, it can be seen that by adding emulsified sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and citrus fiber, it can not only help to accelerate intestinal peristalsis and improve constipation problems, but also can be used as stabilizers for the coagulated yogurt system, which can improve product stability, avoid the occurrence of whey precipitation problems, and effectively improve the flavor and taste of the product. At the same time, the product with emulsified sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and citrus fiber has similar stability to the coagulated yogurt product with conventional stabilizers (gelatin and compound stabilizer system), which can maintain the stability of the product system during the shelf life and avoid whey precipitation. When sodium carboxymethyl cellulose:

[0144] Citrus fiber (8-12): (8-12), the product has a strong milk flavor, and there is no whey precipitation problem in the product. If the addition amount of the relevant raw materials exceeds this range, the product will have whey precipitation problems, which does not meet the product development requirements;

[0145] By adding emulsified sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and citrus fiber, the viscoelasticity of the product of the present invention can be effectively improved and the product can have a suitable hardness. It can even reach the hardness and viscoelasticity of commercially available coagulated yogurt (gelatin, conventional stabilizer). Under the premise of ensuring the stability of the product, the use of colloid stabilizers is avoided, the purpose of simple formula is achieved, differentiation is generated from related products on the market, and product competitiveness is improved.

[0146] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
