Abstract

A beverage stabilizing system which is a blend of gellan gum and carboxymethylcellulose. The blend provides a weak, stabilizing gel structure suitable for beverage products.

Description

~5886'1 TITLE OF THE INVENTION
BEVERAGE STABILIZING SYSTEM

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
5Many commercially available beverages are unstable and require stabilizing additives to m~in~in beverage homogeneity over an extended period of time. Citrus juices, for example, contain pulp material which remain suspended over a period of time only with the assistance of additives such as propylene glycol alginates or other food 10 additives known to stabilize and/or thicken. Beverages cont~ining powder additives such as cocoa powder also require suspending agents to prevent premature settling.
In the past, hydrocolloids such as gum arabic, xanthan gum, pectin, starch and modified starch, and carboxymethylcellulose have 15 been used to stabilize beverages. Relatively large quantities of these materials are required in order to achieve an effective degree of stabilization. While stabilizing the beverage, these materials unfortunately affect beverage flavor and feel. Sometimes, as with xanthan gum, the beverage stabilizing material reacts with other 20 beverage components, including proteins (such as milk proteins or beer proteins), affecting beverage flavor and stabilizer efficacy.
McGinley, et al., United States Patent 4,980,193, describe~
a stabilizing agent which is useful as a rapid dispersing agent for suspending solids in an aqueous medium, which contains colloidal 25 microcrystalline cellulose, starch, and a non-thickening water soluble diluent such as maltodextrin, whey or non-fat dry milk.
The present invention is a beverage stabilizing system which forms a weak, stabilizing gel structure particularly suitable for beverage stabilization.

wo 94/24887 215 8 ~ 6 7 PCT/US94/04023 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention is a beverage stabilizing blend composition consisting of carboxymethylcellulose and gellan gum in the carboxymethylcellulose:gellan gum weight ratio range of between about 3:1 to 20:1, preferably 4:1 to 15:1, and more preferably 5:1 to 10:1. The o invention also includes beverages cont~ining the beverage stabilizing blend.
The amount of stabilizing blend used in the beverages, based on weight % of the beverage, is between about 0.06% and 0.3%, preferably 0.06% and 0.2%, and more preferably 0.06% and 0.1%.
In some beverages, it is advantageous, although not necessary, to include, in the stabilizing blend, an amount of propylene glycol alginate. Thus, the invention contemplates preferred beverage stabilizing blends which include carboxymethylcellulose, gellan gum, and propylene glycol alginate, as well as beverages cont~ining these beverage stabilizing blends. These blends can include amounts of propylene glycol alginate up to and equivalent to the amounts of carboxymethylcellulose. The propylene glycol alginate:gellan gum weight ratio is between about 3:1 to 20:1, preferably 4:1 to 15:1, and more preferably 5:1 to 10:1.
The invention also includes a method for stabilizing a beverage which comprises adding to the beverage a stabilizing blend composition consisting of carboxymethylcellulose and gellan gum in the carboxymethylcellulose:gellan gum weight ratio range of between about 3:1 to 20:1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The beverage stabilizing blend composition of the present invention provides a unique gel structure which is particularly suited for beverages. The gel structure provides a system which suspends materials, such as solid powder materials or solid pulp materials, that are present in beverages and that otherwise separate from the beverage over time. Advantageously, the gel is weak and breaks under low shear conditions, allowing convenient consumption of the beverage. Thus the stabilizing blends of the invention acheive the objectives of maintaining beverage homogeneity and providing low viscosity at moderate shear o conditions.
The combination of gellan gum and carboxymethylcellulose provides a uniquely effective stabilizing system that cannot be effected with gellan gum or carboxymethylcellulose alone.
Beverages cont~ining blends of the invention display rheological properties of a weak gel system when measured using dynamic viscoelastic measurements. One characteristic of a gelled system is a constant elastic (storage) modulus over a range of strain values up to a critical strain value, at which critical strain value the modulus drops significantly.
In beverage systems, gel networks created by gellan gum alone are susceptible to breakdown even at low levels of shear strain.
Gentle stirring can result in complete loss of suspending abilities. The gel is so delicate that it can only be detected through the use of sensitive instrumentation.
The addition of carboxymethylcellulose to gellan gum provides an effective beverage stabilizing system. Indications are that CMC, and other materials with a similar ~ 1 ~ 4 backbone, can modify gellan gum gel formation behavior. In beverages, where low levels of gellan gum are used, this combination with CMC results in a product 3 0 that is much less sensitive to strain, has gel properties that are able to re-form with time and imparts a greater viscous modulus. All of these are important for product stability and mouthfeel.
In some instances, the addition of propylene glycol alginate enhances the beverages stabilized by gellan gum and CMC. PGA
imparts flavor benefits which have been quantified with extensive 2ls8~6~

sensory testing. It also adds to the background of ~"plain" or non-gelled viscosity that helps give a smooth feeling in the mouth. Thus, stabilizing systems which also include polyethylene gly~col alginate are preferred stabilizing systems. `7 Beverages which are stabilized by blends of the invention include pulp-cont~inin~, oil emulsion-cont~ining or other particle-cont~ining beverages, including citrus juices such as orange juice, fruit nectars, and milk-based beverages such as chocolate milk.
Gellan gum is a heteropolysaccharide prepared by fermentation of Pseudomonas elodea ATCC 31461. Gellan gum is available from Kelco Division of Merck & Co., Inc., under various names, including KELCOGEL and KELCOGEL F. Processes for preparing gellan gum include those described in United States Patents 4,326,052 and 4,326,053. It is useful for a variety of gelling, texturizing, stabilizing and film forming applications, particularly as a gelling agent in foods, personal care products and industrial applications.
Carboxymethylcellulose, e.g. CMC 7HF, is a cellulose derivative which is commercially available and known to be useful in drilling muds, as a soil-suspending agent in detergents, in resin emulsion paints, adhesives, printing inks, textile sizes, and as a food stabilizer.
Propylene glycol alginates are water-soluble, hydrophilic colloids used as secondary emulsifiers to thicken and stabilize food and pharmaceutical systems. They provide a range of viscosities from very low to very high, depending on type and concentration. These alginates combine emulsifying and thickening properties to provide excellent emulsion stability with good body. Propylene glycol alginates are useful 3 0 in acidic solutions, since they are soluble and stable in solutions of pH
3.0 to 6Ø Specific food applications include syrups, sauces, icings, frozen foods, salad dressings, relish, batters, citrus concentrates and food emulsions. Propylene glycol alginates are commercially available from Kelco, Division of Merck & Co., Inc., San Diego, CA, under product WO 94/24887 PCTtUS94/04023 21~8867 names KELCOLOID(~) HVF, KELCOLOID@~) LVF, KELCOLOID( DH, KELCOLOID@~) S, and KELCOLOID(~) O.
Typical pH modifiers, such as citric acid or maleic acid, sweeteners, such as natural and artificial sweeteners, preservatives, such as sodium benzoate, flavorings such as flavor emulsion oil bases, other common beverage additives such as sodium citrate and ascorbic acid, and colorings, may also be added to beverages of the present invention KELCOGEL F was used in the following examples. The presence of sodium citrate improves the solubility of the gellan gum by sequestering divalent ions present in the system. CMC 7HF (Aqualon) and KELCOLOID LVF propylene glycol alginate were also used.

EXAMPLE l Stabilized Chocolate Milk Commercially available Alta Dena low fat chocolate milk, which contains lc-carrageenan, was examined using the Vilastic V-E
rheometer. Specifically, elastic modulus and viscous modulus were measured.
A basic low fat chocolate milk formulation cont~ining 6.3%
sugar and 1.0% ~lk~1i7ed low fat cocoa powder type S from Cacao De Zaan (Holland), was stabilized with the beverage stabilizing system of the invention. The stabilizer blend was thoroughly mixed with the sugar and cocoa powder and added directly to the cold milk before heating the product. The final formulation and procedures are given 3 below:
