Abstract

TITLE OF INVENTION
Milk Shake And Soft Serve Frozen Dessert Stabilizer ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A novel blend of gums is disclosed which is useful as a milk shake stabilizer. The blend comprises guar, xanthan gum, carrageenan, and, optionally, locust bean gum.

Description

113~80 - 1 - K-1993 i BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The gums of this invention are all known to be useful in stabilizing milk products which con-tain milk solids, fat, sugar, and water in various amounts. They are also used in various combinations.
For example, see U.S. Pat. 3,996,389, December 7, 1976, which teaches combinations of 1) carageenan with guar and locust bean gum, 2) xanthan gum, locust bean gum and guar gum, and 3) guar gum and xanthan gum in the ratio 99-90:1-10.

SUMMARY OF THE }NVENTION
A novel blend of gums has now been found.

- 2 - K-1993 1 This blend contains guar gum, xanthan gum, carra-geenan, and, optionally, locust bean gum in the following ratios:
Range Guar 53-68 Xanthan 20-35 Carrageenan 9-13 Locust Bean 0-5 At a usage level of 0.14-0.25~, this blend of gums is particularly useful for stabilizing milk compo-sitions containing milk solids, fat, sugar, and water such as milk shakes, soft serve frozen desserts, and like frozen confections.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
. .
All of the gums of this invention are commercially available. Guar gum, classified as a galactomannan, is a nonionic polysaccharide de-rived from the seed of the guar plant, Cyamopsis tetragonolobus, family Leguminosae.
Xanthan gum~is an extracellular~poly~
saccharide derived from~an organism of the genus Xanthomonas,~ preferably from X. campestris.~
Carrageenan is a;mixture of several poly-saccharides~derived from algae of the class Rhodo-phyceae ~(red~seaweedl~, the specific composition de-pending on~the source of the seaweed. Although all of the carrageenans are within the saope of this invention it i8 prePerred that kappa, iota or blends of these be used.
Locust bean gum i8 also a galactomannan derived from the seed of the locust bean or carob, Ceratonia~siliqua, family Leguminosae. ~`

- 3 - K-1993 1 These gums are all available in food grade quality with variations depending on source of supply and processing techniques. All of the commer-cially available products are useable in the inven-tion. It has been found, however, that coarse mesh gums (i.e., those passing through a 20 mesh screen but retained on a 200 mesh screen) are easier to disperse in an aqueous mixture although harder to dissolve whereas finer mesh gums are harder to disperse but easier to dissolve. Where a mix utilizes another ingredient such as sugar which acts to aid dispersion, the finer mesh gums are useable. Where the mix is low in sugar, coarse mesh gums are preferred.
The gum blend of this invention is used to stabilize milk products, specifically those con-taining fat (either animal or vegetable), sugar and milk, either as whole milk, cream or milk solids to which water is later added. These products can be used to prepare milk shakes, soft serve frozen desserts, and like frozen confections.
I~ the past, the gums of this invention have been used in various ratios to stabilize milk products. However, it has been found that guar and xanthan gum alone in the ratio 70/30 when used at the useage levels of this invention do not prevent whey-off in, or example, a milk shake mix for prolonged periods of time. Such a mix should be stable for about 10 days in order to 30 ensure useability at retail distribution sites.
This allows time for preparation at the factory, dis-tribution to said sites, and storage at the retail site prior to sale to the public, The inclusion , ' , 113&480 .
- 4 - K-1993 1 of carrageenan, and optionally locust bean gum to the 70/30 guar/xanthan blend imparts such pralonged stability to a milk shake mix, the length of sta-bility depending on the amount of carrageenan added.
The gums of this invention are useable in the following ratios:
Range Preferred Guar 53-68% 62.63%
Xanthan 20-35% 25.95 Carrageenan 9-13% 10.52 10 ~ Locust Bean o-5% o.g~%
In varying these ratios, it is preferred to keep the guar/xanthan/carrageenan in approximately the ratio 2.41:1:0.40. Where such a blend is used in a milk shake mix at a level of 0.14-0.25% (preferably 15 0.17 to 0.20), the milk shake mix is stabilized for 10 days, which is necessary and sufficient for the commercial distribution of such a mix. Where lesser amounts of carrageenan are used in such a blend, the length of stabilization is decreased.
The invention is further described in the following examples,~which are intended to be illustrative and not limiting. The levels of the various ingredients in the~formulation can be achieved by various means. For example, milk solids can~be~supplied by;using commercially available dry milk solids or by using condensed milk or whole milk. When condensed milk or whole milk is used, there i8 a corresponding decrease in water added.

The mix is pasteurized via HTST (high temperature, short time) at 79.4C for 25 seconds, homogenized at 1800/500 psi and then cooled to 4.4C. This mix is observed for whey-off and viscosity. The mix is frozen in a Taylor freezer, spindled on a multimixer for 45-60 seconds, and evaluated for firmness, overrun, iciness, and body. During spindling, chocolate or other flavor can optionally be added.

The MSNF is supplied as a milk powder which is combined with the gum blend and then incorporated into the other ingredients under 5 moderate agitation in a holding tank. The mix is then HTST pasteurized, homogenized, and packaged under normal dairy conditions. The mix exhibits acceptable viscosity. After 10 days, the mix is inspected and its surface is uniform, thus 10 indicating a lack of whey-off.
