Abstract
Disclosed are processes for preparing dry or powder dairy compositions having low lactose contents and containing polyphenol compounds. The resultant dry or powder dairy compositions can be used to form reconstituted fluid dairy products, which can have improved organoleptic properties, such as less cooked flavor, sulfur odor, and brown color.
Claims20
A process for preparing a dry dairy composition, the process comprising:
- (i) adding from about 25 to about 750 ppm green tea extract polyphenols to a dairy product to form a fluid dairy composition, wherein the fluid dairy composition comprises:
- from about 3 to about 7 wt. % protein;
- from about 1.5 to about 3.5 wt. % carbohydrates;
- and
- less than or equal to about 0.5 wt. % lactose;
- (ii) removing at least a portion of water from the fluid dairy composition to form a concentrated dairy composition;
- and
- (iii) drying the concentrated dairy composition to form the dry dairy composition, wherein the dry dairy composition comprises:
- from about 40 to about 65 wt. % protein;
- from about 15 to about 30 wt. % carbohydrates;
- less than or equal to about 1 wt. % lactose;
- and
- from about 250 to about 7500 ppm polyphenols.

A dry dairy composition comprising:
- from about 35 to about 90 wt. % protein;
- from about 10 to about 35 wt. % carbohydrates;
- less than or equal to about 1.5 wt. % lactose;
- and
- from about 100 to about 7500 ppm green tea extract polyphenols.

A process for preparing a dry dairy composition, the process comprising:
- (a) adding from about 50 to about 1500 ppm green tea extract polyphenols to a concentrated dairy product having a total solids content from about 12 to about 35 wt. % to form a concentrated dairy composition, wherein the concentrated dairy composition comprises:
- from about 6 to about 20 wt. % protein;
- from about 3.5 to about 7 wt. % carbohydrates;
- and
- less than or equal to about 0.5 wt. % lactose;
- and
- (b) drying the concentrated dairy composition to form the dry dairy composition, wherein the dry dairy composition comprises:
- from about 35 to about 90 wt. % protein;
- from about 10 to about 35 wt. % carbohydrates;
- less than or equal to about 1.5 wt. % lactose;
- and
- from about 100 to about 10,000 ppm polyphenols.
