METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF CONCENTRATED STERILISED MILK FOR FUNCTIONAL NUTRITION Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A23C9/00 A23C9/18 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to dairy industry. The method involves reconditioning a dry polycomponent milk mixture containing dry skimmed milk and/or dry unskimmed milk, dihydroquercetin, fructose, lactulose, vanillin or chicory in water at a temperature of 10-55°C, purified using ion-exchange or reverse osmosis plants till total hardness is no more 2 mg-equ/m³, till final concentration of dry substances is 13.5-25.5%; the mixture is cooled to 6°C, maintained during 30 minutes, heated up to 50°C, added dehydrated milk fat and vegetable fat to, then one precedes with standardisation of the produced mixture till the ratio of milk fat to vegetable fat is 0.01:0.99 - 0.99:0.01, introduction of a stabiliser salt, homogenisation at 10.0-16.5 MPa, cooling with subsequent packaging, sterilisation at a temperature of 116-117°C with maintenance during 15-18 minutes and cooling to storage temperature or, sterilisation at a temperature of 118-130°C with maintenance during 0.5-10 minutes and cooling and aseptic packaging. Before homogenisation one may introduce various thermostable sweeteners, flavour additives, thickeners, food fibres; the vegetable fat may be represented by palm, coconut, sunflower oil.

EFFECT: invention allows to enhance biologically value of the product, improve its organoleptic properties, perform flow sterilisation (aseptic fill).
