Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a new type of spoonable non-liquid water-continuous acidified food product that can replace traditional dairy cream alternatives like crème fraiche. This food product contains at least 30% of P2U triglycerides, which are made from palmitic acid and unsaturated fatty acids. The food product has a pH value of 3.5 to 5.8 and a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius. It is made using a fermented process and contains at least 60% water, 10 to 25% fat, and 0.05 to 15% protein. The fat contains at least one vegetable fat and up to 60% of saturated fatty acids, while the ratio of SAFA to P2U is up to 1.7. This food product has a unique texture and taste that makes it a good alternative to traditional dairy cream alternatives. The patent also describes a process for preparing this food product using a palm based fat that contains at least 30% of P2U triglycerides.

Problems solved by technology

Such products, including dairy cream alternatives, are not always easy to make as the lower overall fat content may detrimentally affect product properties, like for example firmness and organoleptic properties.
The drive for lower fat and lower SAFA level of the fat itself is challenging as this may affect for example the organoleptic properties of products like crème fraiche and non-dairy cream alternatives thereof.

[0051]Stevens Value

[0052]Stevens values give an indication about the hardness (also called firmness) of a product at a given temperature. Firmness is the maximum force, expressed in grams, to penetrate a product over a given distance at a fixed speed with a specific probe. The Stevens value at a given temperature is determined according to the following protocol.

[0053]Products are stored at 5 degrees Celsius for at least 24 hours before being measured. The hardness of the product is then measured with a TA.XT.plus Texture Analyser (ex. Stable Micro Systems Ltd.) equipped with a cylindrical probe with a diameter of 12.7 mm (0.5 inch) and operated in “normal” mode. The probe is pushed into the product at a speed of 2 mm / s, a trigger force of 5 gram over a distance of 10 mm. The maximum force required is read from the digital display and is expressed in grams.

Abstract

The invention relates to a fermented food product being a water-continuous emulsion and being spoonable and non-liquid at a temperature of 5 degrees Celcius. The food product has a pH-value between 3.5 and 5.8, comprises at least 60 wt % water and further comprises from 10 to 25 wt % fat and from 0.05 to 15 wt % protein. The invention further relates to a process for the preparation of such food products comprising the use of a palm based fat comprising at least 30 wt % of P2U triglycerides.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to spoonable non-liquid water-continuous acidified food products and a process for the preparation thereof.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Non-dairy products, like liquid whipping creams, spreads and products with a spoonable non-liquid consistency are products wherein at least part of the dairy fat is replaced by vegetable fat. Such products are generally known as dairy cream alternatives. In general, vegetable fats are regarded as being healthier than dairy fat like milk fat and butter fat as the unsaturated fatty acid content in vegetable fats are higher than in dairy fat. Furthermore, especially natural vegetable fats that have not undergone hydrogenation have a lower trans unsaturated fatty acid content than dairy fats.[0003]Crème fraiche is a well known dairy product that is obtained by fermenting a regular cream by certain kinds of lactic acid bacteria. The bacterial culture, which is introduced either deliberately or...
