Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of yogurt technology, specifically relating to a cloud-shaped mousse layered yogurt and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Consumers are increasingly demanding higher quality food products, especially everyday dairy products like yogurt. They not only focus on basic nutritional value but also seek a perfect combination of health, low fat, and sensory experience, thus setting stricter standards for high-quality yogurt. The milk skin, a layer that naturally forms on the surface of milk as fat rises during resting, is positively correlated with the milk's fat content. Therefore, there is a need to provide layered yogurts with low fat content and thick milk skin. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention develops a cloud mousse layered yogurt with low fat content and thick milk skin.

[0004] It is also necessary to provide a method for preparing cloud-shaped mousse layered yogurt.

[0005] A layered cloud mousse yogurt, by weight comprising 78-90 parts raw milk, 1-10 parts cream, 0.6-1.2 parts compound stabilizer, 0-8 parts milk skin thickener to increase milk skin thickness, 0-8 parts sugar, and 0.01-0.05 parts starter cultures, wherein the yogurt is two-layered, with the milk skin on the top layer and the milk skin thickness being more than 8mm, wherein the milk skin thickener is fruit or vegetable.

[0008] Preferably, the fruits and vegetables are one or a combination of several of the following: red goji berries, black goji berries, red dates, blueberries, mulberries, grapes, peaches, sea buckthorn, mangoes, pineapples, strawberries, guavas, honeydew melons, avocados, kale, kiwifruit, matcha, matcha, black tea, green tea, tomatoes, cucumbers, and oats.

[0009] Preferably, the bacterial strain is at least three of the following: Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactic acid, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis fat, and Lactococcus lactis subsp. diacetyl.

[0010] A method for preparing cloud-shaped mousse layered yogurt, comprising the following steps:

[0011] S1: Heat 30-50 portions of raw milk, stir and add sugar, compound stabilizer, cream, fruits and vegetables, cut, and then adjust the volume of the remaining raw milk to obtain semi-finished product I;

[0012] S2: Heat semi-finished product I, and then homogenize it under low pressure to obtain semi-finished product II;

[0013] S3: Pasteurize the semi-finished product II, cool it after sterilization, then add 0.01-0.05 parts of starter culture and stir, then heat it to 30-43℃, add the acid-resistant fruit and vegetable sauce after heating, and ferment for 4-8 hours to obtain the semi-finished product III;

[0014] S4: Cool the semi-finished product III to 2-6℃ and allow it to mature for 12-24 hours to obtain the finished product.

[0015] Preferably, in step S1, the 35-50 portions of raw milk are heated to 60-65°C, and the shearing speed is 1000-3000 rpm for 3-10 minutes.

[0016] Preferably, in step S2, the semi-finished product I is heated to 55-65°C and the homogenization pressure is less than 2 MPa.

[0017] Preferably, in step S2, the pressure of homogenization is 0 MPa.

[0018] Preferably, in step S3, the product is cooled to 15-20°C after sterilization.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0020] This invention provides a cloud-like mousse layered yogurt, comprising, by weight, 78-90 parts of raw milk, 1-10 parts of cream, 0.6-1.2 parts of compound stabilizer, 0-8 parts of fruits and vegetables, 0-8 parts of sugar, and 0.01-0.05 parts of starter cultures. The yogurt has two layers, with a milk skin on top. By combining the above-mentioned low-fat formula, the use of cream is reduced, yet a thicker milk skin effect is achieved. The yogurt has a low fat content, but the milk skin thickness reaches more than 8mm, and the layering is more obvious. It also achieves a light and easy-to-use effect, has a cloud-like mousse-like sensory texture, and offers a rich selection of fruit flavors, satisfying the modern trend of demanding both health and deliciousness.

[0021] This invention involves heating 30-50 parts of raw milk, stirring and adding sugar, compound stabilizer, cream, and fruits and vegetables, then cutting to fully emulsify the cream. The remaining raw milk is then brought to a final volume to obtain semi-finished product I. Semi-finished product I is then heated and homogenized under low pressure. This homogenization disperses the emulsified particles, allowing the cream and fruit and vegetable particles to aggregate and coagulate at an appropriate rate during fermentation, resulting in semi-finished product II. Semi-finished product II is pasteurized, cooled, and then 0.01-0.05 parts of starter culture are added and stirred. The temperature is then raised to 30-43°C, and acid-resistant fruit and vegetable sauce is added. Fermentation continues for 4-8 hours to obtain semi-finished product III. Semi-finished product III is cooled to 2-6°C and allowed to mature for 12-24 hours to obtain the finished product. By rapidly cooling and then reheating, the compound stabilizer can function effectively during fermentation, controlling protein coagulation and phase separation, ultimately forming a thick milk skin, enhancing appetite and appeal.

[0022] In summary, this invention, through the use of a lower-fat formula and synergistic compound stabilizers, along with a combination of fruits, vegetables, and microbial cultures, and a microemulsification stabilization process, precisely controls the rising and coagulation rates of fat and fruit / vegetable particles. This results in a thicker milk skin with more distinct layers, while reducing the use of cream, achieving a lighter feel and a cloud-like mousse-like sensory texture. The development of richer fruit and vegetable flavors promotes the interaction between fat and fruit / vegetable particles, leading to a richer milk skin flavor and a thickness exceeding 8mm, while reducing the yogurt fat content by 25%-60%. The resulting product has a thicker milk skin with a dense, light, cloud-like mousse texture, distinct layers, a smooth and non-greasy feel, and is highly appetizing and appealing.

[0100] 2. Performance Testing Methods

[0101] (1) Measurement of milk skin thickness

[0103] (2) Determination of milk skin coagulation time

[0104] Observe the solidification state every half hour. If the state changes from a liquid to a gel semi-solid state during the observation, the time from the start of fermentation is the solidification time, and the unit is h.

[0107] (4) Sensory evaluation criteria

[0108] Ten evaluators were selected and trained, and evaluated using the following criteria, as shown in Table 1.

[0109] Table 1 Evaluation Criteria for Cloud Mousse Layered Yogurt

[0110]

[0111] 3. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0112] Table 2. Determination of Fat Content

[0113]

[0114] Table 3 Comparison Results of Cloud Mousse Layered Yogurt

[0115]

[0116] Through Examples 1-6, it was found that the special composition designed in this invention can be used to prepare yogurt with a skin thickness greater than 8 mm, low fat content, and good layering.

[0117] Comparing Examples 1 and 3 & 4 illustrates the effect of fat content on layered cloud mousse yogurt. Higher fat content results in a thicker milk skin; Example 4, with its higher fat content, has a longer coagulation time. Examples 3 & 4 have higher fat content, but this results in a greasier texture and a softer consistency. In contrast, Examples 1 & 2 have a suitable fat content, a rich aroma without being greasy, and a softer texture.

[0118] Comparing Examples 2 and 5 and 6, the effect of the amount of goji berries added on the layered yogurt of cloud mousse is explained. The high amount of goji berry juice added in Example 6 resulted in a thicker milk skin and a stronger goji berry aroma, but it also led to a longer coagulation time, unclear layer boundaries, and a softer texture. In contrast, the lower amount of goji berry juice added in Example 5 resulted in a thinner milk skin and a weaker goji berry aroma. Therefore, Example 2 is the better choice.

[0119] Comparing Examples 1 and 7 and 8, the effect of fermentation temperature on cloud mousse layered yogurt is explained. The lower the fermentation temperature, the slower the coagulation speed and the slower the floating speed, the thicker the milk skin, but the boundary is not clear and the cheese flavor is too strong. The milk skin thickness and aroma of Example 1 are the most suitable.

[0120] Comparing Example 1 with Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 3 illustrates the effect of compound stabilizers on layered cloud mousse yogurt. Example 1 uses the same types of stabilizers as Comparative Examples 1 and 2, but the proportions differ, indicating that the stabilizer proportion significantly affects the thickness of the milk skin, the coagulation speed, and the sensory characteristics. Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 use different types of stabilizers, demonstrating that the type of stabilizer also affects the thickness of the milk skin, the coagulation speed, and the sensory characteristics. Overall, the stabilizer combination in Example 1 is superior, resulting in a thicker milk skin, clearer layering, and better sensory characteristics.

[0121] Comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 4, the effect of bacterial strains on layered cloud mousse yogurt is explained. Bacterial strains affect the thickness of the milk skin and the coagulation speed, which in turn leads to different milk skin thicknesses and sensory characteristics. The bacterial strain combination in Example 1 is superior, resulting in a thicker milk skin and a richer yogurt aroma.

[0122] Comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 5, and Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 6, it can be seen that high-speed shearing has a positive effect on cloud mousse layered yogurt. In Example 1 and Example 2, which used high-speed shearing, the milk skin was thicker, the layering effect was better, the boundary was clearer, and there were no spots on the upper layer of milk skin.

[0123] Compared with Example 1 and Comparative Examples 7 and 8, Comparative Examples 7 and 8 used pressurized homogenization, and the homogenization pressure had a negative impact on the layered yogurt of cloud mousse. The higher the pressure, the worse the layering effect and the thinner the milk skin. In contrast, Example 1 used air pressure homogenization, which had a better milk skin thickness and layering effect. The combination of air pressure homogenization and high-speed shearing broke down the fat particles and dispersed them, thus achieving the effect of microemulsification, which resulted in a better milk skin layering effect and a thicker milk skin.

[0124] Comparing Examples 1, 2, and 9, it is shown that cooling followed by heating has a positive effect on the layered cloud mousse yogurt. Examples 1 and 2 used a process of sterilization followed by rapid cooling to 20°C and then heating to 42°C, which allowed the compound stabilizer to play a stabilizing role during fermentation, resulting in a slower rate of cream rising, a thicker milk skin, and a clearer boundary. In contrast, Comparative Example 9 directly cooled to 42°C after sterilization, which resulted in the compound stabilizer not producing sufficient stabilizing effect, leading to a faster rising speed and a thinner milk skin.

[0125] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the art will understand that implementing all or part of the above-described embodiments and making equivalent changes in accordance with the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the invention.
