Abstract
An edible, olive oil based cream and processes for producing the same. Processes for producing an edible cream may include: milling olives to form a paste; malaxating the paste; centrifuging the paste into an oil phase, an aqueous phase, and pomace; centrifuging the aqueous phase; separating the aqueous phase into a precipitate and supernatant; filtering the supernatant; and homogenizing the supernatant, oil phase, and an emulsifier to produce an edible cream. An edible cream may comprise olive oil, olive vegetation water, an emulsifier and, optionally, one or more additional ingredients.
Claims47
A process for producing an edible cream from olives, comprising the steps of:
- a) milling said olives to form a paste;
- b) malaxating said paste;
- c) centrifuging said paste into a resultant oil phase, a resultant aqueous phase, and a resultant pomace;
- d) centrifuging said aqueous phase;
- e) separating said aqueous phase into a resultant precipitate and a resultant supernatant;
- f) filtering said supernatant;
- and
- g) homogenizing said supernatant, said oil phase, and an emulsifier to form said cream.
A process for manufacturing an edible cream comprising the sequential steps of:
- a) horizontally centrifuging olive paste into a resultant oil phase and a resultant aqueous phase;
- b) vertically centrifuging said aqueous phase;
- c) maintaining a pH of said aqueous phase between about 4.6 and about 7;
- d) adjusting a Zeta potential of said aqueous phase by the addition thereto of aluminum polychloride;
- e) precipitating said aqueous phase into a resultant supernatant;
- f) filtering said supernatant through a plate filter having a filter size of between about 10 to about 40 micrometers;
- g) heating said supernatant;
- and
- h) homogenizing said oil phase, said supernatant, and an emulsifier by first combining said oil phase and said emulsifier, and then combining said supernatant with said combined oil phase and said emulsifier.
