PROTEIN BEVERAGE AND ITS PRODUCTION METHOD Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A23L2/02 A23L2/38 A23L2/39 A23L2/42 A23L2/52 A23L2/54 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: protein beverage composition includes from more than nearly 0 wt % to less than nearly 100 wt % of juice as well as from nearly 0.1 wt % to nearly 15 wt % of protein; the said protein does not essentially contain fat, lactose or casein; the said protein is non-hydrolysed. The composition has pH from nearly 2.0 to nearly 3.4. The protein beverage production method is as follows: one mixes in water juice, until juice content is from more than nearly 0 wt % to less than nearly 100 wt %, protein, which does not essentially contain fat, lactose or casein and is non-hydrolysed, and an agent regulating pH from nearly 2 to nearly 3.4; thus one produces a mixture not containing fat, lactose or casein. The produced mixture is heated, cooled and packed. The composition of concentrated protein beverage powder includes juice in the form of a dry juice powder concentrate and protein which does not essentially contain fat, lactose or casein and is non-hydrolysed. The composition of protein beverage concentrated syrup includes from more than nearly 0 wt % to nearly 60 wt % of juice concentrate having Brix value from nearly 20°Bx to nearly 75°Bx. The protein beverage may contain juice and/or an additive which ensures energy generation improvement. The protein beverage may be treated for pathogenic microorganisms inactivation in presence or absence of carbonisation which may be applied for ensure the beverage taste and mouthfeel. Pathogenic microorganisms inactivation treatment may be implemented in an individual package applied for protein beverage storage and consumption. The protein beverage may be produced of the protein beverage concentrate.

EFFECT: invention ensures production of a beverage with high protein concentration and stable during long-term storage outside a refrigerator for at least one year after packing.
