[0027] The grain jam prepared by the method of the present invention can be used to prepare yogurt containing grain jam. The yogurt obtained is not prone to water separation during its shelf life, and the grain particles in the yogurt are not prone to precipitation, exhibiting excellent stability. Furthermore, the preparation method is simple to operate and suitable for widespread application. Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] To enhance the nutritional value and chewiness of yogurt and meet consumers' dual demands for health and taste, grains can be added. However, existing methods for preparing yogurt using grain jams are prone to water separation or grain particle sedimentation during shelf life. Therefore, this invention provides a novel method for preparing grain jam. By processing the grains, a grain jam with excellent grain particle suspension and a strong chewy texture can be obtained, thereby enabling the yogurt containing grain particles prepared from this grain jam to have excellent stability.

[0030] A first aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a cereal jam, comprising:

[0031] Gelatinized grains are obtained by gelatinizing grains.

[0032] Grain jam is made by sugaring gelatinized grains with sweeteners.

[0033] Specifically, the method for preparing the grain jam of the present invention includes: gelatinizing the grains to allow the starch in the grains to absorb water and swell, thereby improving the suspension of the grains and obtaining gelatinized grains; then using a sweetener to sugar-soak the gelatinized grains, allowing the sugar to penetrate the gelatinized grains, further improving the suspension of the gelatinized grains and improving the chewiness of the gelatinized grains, thereby obtaining a grain jam with excellent suspension and chewiness.

[0034] This invention obtains a grain jam with excellent suspension and chewiness by sequentially gelatinizing and sugaring grains. This grain jam can be used to prepare yogurt containing grains, and the resulting yogurt has excellent suspension of grain particles, is not prone to water separation or grain particle sedimentation during its shelf life, and has excellent stability.

[0035] The grains used in this invention can be grains commonly used in the art. Exemplarily, the grains can include, but are not limited to, at least one of oats, black rice, quinoa, and purple rice. In some embodiments, the grains can be 2-4 of the above substances. In some embodiments of this invention, when the grain particle size is 2-4 mm, not only can the texture of the grains in yogurt be improved, but it can also be compatible with most equipment to achieve yogurt bottling, saving equipment costs.

[0036] This invention does not impose any particular limitation on the gelatinization process, as long as it allows the starch in the grains to absorb water and swell. In some embodiments, the grains can be gelatinized in steam to obtain gelatinized grains. Furthermore, when the gelatinization process is carried out at a temperature of 80-100℃ for 3-6 minutes, the grains can be gelatinized while saving energy, improving the suspension of the grains, and thus improving the stability and texture of the grains in the yogurt.

[0037] The inventors discovered that by selecting specific parameters for the sugaring process, the treatment effect can be improved, thereby enhancing the stability and texture of the grains in the yogurt. For example, the sugaring process involves a temperature of 50-60°C and a time of 20-40 minutes.

[0038] This invention does not specifically limit the sweetener used in the sugaring process; any sweetener commonly used in the art can be used. In some embodiments of this invention, the sweetener includes both a first sweetener and a second sweetener.

[0039] The first sweetener includes maltose syrup and / or fructose syrup, and the second sweetener includes trehalose;

[0040] When the mass ratio of the first sweetener to the second sweetener is (3-6):1, the taste of the yogurt can be further improved.

[0041] In this invention, in order to further improve the taste of yogurt, especially to make the yogurt have a better chewy texture and make the grains in the yogurt have a chewy texture, a post-processing is also included after the sugar-soaking process. The post-processing includes adding sodium citrate to the sugar-soaked material to obtain grain jam.

[0042] The sodium citrate content in cereal jams is 0.1-0.3% by mass.

[0043] In some implementations, mulberry, blueberry, black sesame, black goji berry juice, and flavorings may be added during post-processing to enhance the nutritional value and flavor richness of the cereal jam.

[0044] In some embodiments, pasteurization and cooling filling can be performed after post-processing to obtain cereal jam for storage.

[0045] The second aspect of the present invention provides a grain jam prepared by the method of the first aspect of the grain jam preparation method. The grains in the grain jam have excellent suspension and chewiness. The grains in the yogurt prepared using the grain jam are not prone to sedimentation, and the yogurt is not prone to water separation, exhibiting excellent stability.

[0046] A third aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing yogurt, comprising: mixing the cereal jam of the second aspect with pre-fermented milk to obtain yogurt.

[0047] This invention does not specifically limit the type of pre-fermented milk, which refers to dairy products that have undergone pre-fermentation. This invention yields yogurt by mixing the cereal jam of the second aspect with the pre-fermented milk. This yogurt contains cereals, and the cereals in the yogurt exhibit excellent suspending properties; the yogurt is not prone to water separation or sedimentation during its shelf life, demonstrating excellent stability.

[0048] In this invention, the pre-fermented milk can be selected to have a suitable viscosity, so that the yogurt not only has excellent stability during its shelf life but also excellent drinkability, enabling bottled yogurt (bottled yogurt has a superior taste and convenience compared to boxed yogurt). In some embodiments of this invention, the pre-fermented milk is obtained by refining the fermentation intermediate milk formed during fermentation with Ytron.

[0049] In Ytron refinement, the frequency of Ytron refinement is less than 100%.

[0050] The Ytron refinement frequency refers to the processing frequency of the Ytron device (in actual operation, the frequency is adjusted while keeping other parameters constant). The Ytron device can be a GR90A.

[0051] Furthermore, when the frequency of Ytron refining is 60-80%, pre-fermented milk with suitable viscosity can be obtained, which in turn produces bottled drinkable yogurt with excellent stability.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, the fermented intermediate milk is obtained by fermenting yogurt base material;

[0053] The yogurt base includes stabilizers, which include glutinous rice starch, low-ester pectin, and gellan gum.

[0054] In the yogurt base, the mass percentage of glutinous rice starch is 0.1-0.3%, the mass percentage of low-ester pectin is 0.03-0.06%, and the mass percentage of gellan gum is 0.01-0.03%.

[0055] When the stabilizer is the stabilizer mentioned above, it can not only improve the drinking taste of yogurt and enable PET bottle packaging, but also make the grains in the yogurt have a chewy texture.

[0056] This invention does not impose any particular limitation on the yogurt base material, which can be any yogurt base material commonly used in the art. The yogurt base material may include raw milk, water, sweetener, stabilizer and light cream.

[0057] Raw milk refers to fresh milk that meets my country's standard for purchasing raw milk, GB 6914. It can be whole milk, skim milk, or partially skimmed milk, or it can be milk powder, condensed milk, or a reconstituted product made from whey protein. The sweetener can be white sugar.

[0058] It is understandable that before fermentation to prepare intermediate fermented milk, the yogurt base material can be subjected to deaeration, homogenization, and pasteurization sequentially. Among these, deaeration, homogenization, and pasteurization are commonly used processes in this field.

[0059] In some embodiments, a starter culture can be added to the pasteurized material to perform fermentation and form a fermented intermediate milk. The starter culture of this invention can be a commonly used starter culture in the art. Exemplarily, the starter culture can be one or more of the following: *Lactobacillus acidophilus*, *Bifidobacterium lactis*, *Bifidobacterium longum*, *Lactobacillus helveticus*, *Lactobacillus casei*, *Lactobacillus rhamnosus* GG, *Streptococcus thermophilus*, and *Lactobacillus bulgaricus*. Furthermore, each kilogram of pre-fermented milk raw material contains 0.1 U to 0.5 U of starter culture.

[0060] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a yogurt prepared by the yogurt preparation method of the third aspect.

[0061] The yogurt of the present invention includes grain particles, and the grain particles have excellent suspension properties in the yogurt, making the yogurt less prone to water separation during its shelf life; at the same time, the grain particles in the yogurt have excellent chewiness. Therefore, the yogurt of the present invention has both excellent taste and nutritional value, and is suitable for widespread application.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, when the viscosity of the yogurt is 800-1200 mPa·s, the yogurt is suitable for bottled consumption and has a superior drinking taste and convenience.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, when the mass percentage of cereal jam in yogurt is 6-15%, the yogurt has better stability, taste and nutritional value, and is suitable for widespread promotion.
