Containers and methods are provided for dispensing a liquid concentrate utilizing one or more desirable properties including a generally consistent discharge across a range of squeeze forces, a generally consistent discharge with the same force without significant dependence on the amount of liquid concentrate in the container, a substantially dripless or leak proof outlet opening, a jet that minimizes splashing when the liquid concentrate impacts a target liquid, and a jet that maximizes mixing between the liquid concentrate and the target liquid to produce a generally homogenous mixture without the use of extraneous utensils or shaking. Also provided are liquid beverage concentrates that can be cold filled during packaging while maintaining shelf stability for at least about three months at ambient temperatures. Concentrates are provided having low pH, with or without alcohol, and with buffers to allow for increased acid content at a selected pH.

The invention relates to a cold water soluble, low calorie, low net carbohydrate powdered beverage composition containing protein and fiber suitable for reconstitution with water or aqueous based liquids. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cold water soluble, low calorie, low net carbohydrate powdered beverage composition comprising (1) a protein component, (2) a soluble fiber component, and (3) an optional high intensity sweetener component, wherein the soluble fiber component increases the flowability and cold water solubility of the powdered beverage composition.

A rice pudding formulation which incorporates 2-16% dry weight parboiled medium grain rice which is processed by ultra-high temperature treatment of at least 230&deg; F. for a time effective to produce sporecidal activity and to produce a rice pudding product which has a relatively-low level of microbiological activity and which is suitable for refrigerated distribution. The parboiled, medium grain rice is more tolerant to the high temperature and shear conditions of UHT processing. The rice maintains a soft texture for greater than 60 days of refrigerated storage in the finished rice pudding product.

A clouding agent for dry beverage mixes is prepared by first forming a mixture of titanium dioxide and water and then subjecting the mixture to high speed shear. A spacing agent and suspending agent are then added to the mixture and the mixture is again subjected to a high speed shear, followed by spray drying. The resultant clouding agent may contain higher quantities of titanium dioxide than conventional clouding agents to thereby provide increased opacity without increased sedimentation. Further, the method of the invention provides higher throughput through the spray dryer and better yields than conventional methods of preparation.
