Abstract:

An aqueous shelf-stable beverage product comprises: water; milk solids; an acidic flavoring agent; a two component stabilizing system comprising a first component comprising monoglycerides and up to 10% by weight diglycerides, and a second component comprising carrageenin or pectin; disodium phosphate; and potassium hydroxide; the shelf-stable beverage product having a pH of about 6. 3 to about 6. 5. A method for making a shelf-stable beverage product comprises: providing a homogenized milk mixture having the two component stabilizer system; providing a buffered aqueous flavoring solution containing the acidic flavoring agent, disodium phosphate, and potassium bicarbonate; mixing the homogenized milk mixture and the aqueous flavoring solution to form a mixture having a pH of from 6. 8 to 7. 2; and heating to decompose the potassium bicarbonate to potassium hydroxide and carbon dioxide such that the pH is from 6. 3 to 6. 5.
