Creamer compositions and methods of making and using the same

A creamer composition comprising:

• a) a microparticulated ingredient component comprising:
• i) from about 0.1% to about 80% of a fat/oil component;
• ii) from about 0.1% to about 70% of a protein component;
• wherein in a hydrated state said microparticulated ingredient component particles have a mean diameter particle size distribution ranging from about 0.1 microns to about 10.0 microns, with less than about 5 percent of the total number of particles exceeding about 10.0 microns in diameter,
• b) a secondary ingredient component comprising:
• i) from about 0.05% to about 50% of an emulsifier;
• ii) from about 50% to about 99.5% of a bulking agent;
• c) an additional ingredient component;
• wherein the weight ratio of the microparticulated ingredient component to the secondary ingredient component is in the range of from about 1:99 to about 5:1, and wherein the weight ratio of the secondary ingredient component to the additional ingredient component is in the range of from about 100:1 to about 1:24.

A concentrated liquid creamer composition comprising:

• a) a microparticulated ingredient component comprising:
• i) from about 0.1% to about 80% of a fat/oil component;
• ii) from about 0.1% to about 70% of a protein component;
• wherein in a hydrated state said microparticulated ingredient component particles have a mean diameter particle size distribution ranging from about 0.1 microns to about 10.0 microns, with less than about 5 percent of the total number of particles exceeding about 10.0 microns in diameter,
• b) a secondary ingredient component comprising:
• i) from about 0.05% to about 50% of an emulsifier;
• ii) from about 50% to about 99.5% of a bulking agent;
• c) an additional ingredient component;
• d) water, wherein from about 20% to about 60% of the formula on a weight basis is comprised of said water;
• and,
• wherein the weight ratio of the microparticulated ingredient component to the secondary ingredient component is in the range of from about 1:99 to about 5:1, and wherein the weight ratio of the secondary ingredient component to the additional ingredient component is in the range of from about 100:1 to about 1:24.

A ready-to-use liquid creamer composition comprising:

• a) a microparticulated ingredient component comprising:
• i) from about 0.1% to about 80% of a fat/oil component;
• ii) from about 0.1% to about 70% of a protein component;
• wherein in a hydrated state said microparticulated ingredient component particles have a mean diameter particle size distribution ranging from about 0.1 microns to about 10.0 microns, with less than about 5 percent of the total number of particles exceeding about 10.0 microns in diameter,
• b) a secondary ingredient component comprising:
• i) from about 0.05% to about 50% of an emulsifier;
• ii) from about 50% to about 99.5% of a bulking agent;
• c) an additional ingredient component;
• d) water, wherein from about 65% to about 99% of the creamer composition formula on a weight basis is comprised of said water;
• and,
• wherein the weight ratio of the microparticulated ingredient component to the secondary ingredient component is in the range of from about 1:99 to about 5:1, and wherein the weight ratio of the secondary ingredient component to the additional ingredient component is in the range of from about 100:1 to about 1:24.
