Abstract
A beverage composition made with low-calorie, lactose-free skim milk in liquid or dry powder form. Amelanchier alnifolia extract having Abscisic Acid is added to the skim milk in a multi-step process that utilizes CO2 to maintain the nutrient value of the extract. Crystalline fructose, natural flavorings, nutrients and carbonation are added to produce a flavorful beverage composition. A method to make a carbonated beverage composition with low-calorie, lactose-free skim milk and Amelanchier alnifolia extract includes a series of steps to preserve the nutrient value of the extract.
Claims4
A beverage composition solution comprising:
- from about 0.1 gm to about 1,000 gm of ultra-filtered and protein-condensed low-calorie, lactose-free skim milk per 295 ml of beverage composition solution;
- and an Amelanchier ainifolia extract is prepared by:
- rinsing Amelanchier ainifolia berries in a citric acid water rinse followed by a final rinse with Reverse Osmosis H2O at a temperature of about 38-40° degrees F., wherein the rinsed Amelanchier ainifolia berries are placed in a sealed-tank ice bath, and wherein CO2 is infused into the sealed tank with agitation to activate the Abscisic Acid contained in the Amelanchier ainifolia berries, and wherein the CO22 is infused from about 5 to about 10 minutes until the CO2 level in the tank reaches about 10 psi, and wherein the CO2 is released from the tank and the Amelanchier ainifolia berries are placed in a stainless-steel container containing about 64 oz of RO water is purified to form a RO H2O/berry mixture, and wherein the RO H2O berry mixture temperature is raised to about 90° F. and wherein the RO H2O/berry mixture is heated with constant agitation for about 30 minutes, and wherein the composition solution of RO H2O berry mixture is cooled and macerated, and wherein the beverage composition with the RO H2O/berry mixture is filtered and the permeate collected aseptically;
- from about 0.5 oz to about 7.0 oz Amelanchier alnifolia extract per 295 ml of beverage composition solution added to the skim milk to form a mixture;
- about 65 oz of RO purified H2O added to the mixture;
- from about 0.1 gm to about 500 gm crystalline fructose added to the mixture;
- from about 0.1 gm to about 1,000 gm natural vanilla flavor added to the mixture;
- from about 0.1 gm to about 500 gm natural lemon flavor added to the mixture;
- and,
- CO2 infused into the mixture with constant agitation until a pressure of about 10 psi is reached for a minimum of about 30 minutes.
