An iron fortification complex which may be used to fortify foods and beverages with iron. The complex is formed of ferric ions and caseinate. The complex is sufficiently stable as to be suitable for use in retorted products. However, despite the stability, the iron in the complexes has substantially the same bioavailability as ferrous sulfate.

Ferric fortification system

An iron-protein hydrolysate complex which may be used to fortify foods and beverages with iron. The complex is formed of ferrous ions chelated to partially hydrolyzed egg white protein. The hydrolyzed egg white protein has a molecular weight in the range of about 500 to about 10,000. The complexes are sufficiently stable as to be suitable for use in sterilized products, such as retorted products. Moreover, despite the stability, the iron in the complexes has substantially the same bioavailability as ferrous sulfate.

Iron fortification system

A cream substitute comprising from 5% to 40% by weight of butter, from about 0.25% to about 5% by weight of a thickening agent, and about 0.25% to about 4% of a food protein, based on the total weight of the cream substitute, together with a sufficient amount of water to total 100% by weight, and, optionally, from about 0.05% to about 2% by weight of a food acceptable acid.

Cream substitute

A calcium-fortified milk or dairy-based product containing a calcium source and a food-grade polyphosphate having at least six phosphate groups.

Shelf-stable calcium fortified milk and dairy products

Trolling bobber

A fortified foodstuff comprising a fortifying amount of a complex of calcium and a hydrolyzed polysaccharide, optionally combined with an acid, such as an organic acid. The foodstuff may be a dairy-based product such as milk or a milk product, a confectionery product, or an ice cream.

Calcium fortified foodstuff

A novel calcium complex for the fortification of beverages and foods, especially milk, is disclosed. Fortifying complexes are made of a calcium source and a negatively-charged emulsifier with or without an organic or inorganic acid or a salt thereof. These complexes have been found to be particularly effective in fortifying milk and milk-protein containing beverages without coagulation of the proteins or without significantly changing the texture of the product.

Calcium complexes for fortification of foods

A method of preparing a fortified foodstuff containing a fortifying amount of a complex of calcium and a hydrolyzed polysaccharide, combined with an acid, such as an organic acid. The foodstuff may be a dairy-based product such as milk or a milk product, a confectionery product, ice cream or a beverage such as a juice.

Calcium fortified foodstuff and method of preparing same

A metastable calcium complex formed by the interaction of an insoluble calcium source and a solution of citric and lactic acids is described. A fortified foodstuff comprising a fortifying amount of the metastable complex and a process for its preparation by forming the complex then adding the complex to a foodstuff or forming the complex in the foodstuff is disclosed.

Calcium complex and food fortified therewith

A novel calcium complex for the fortification of beverages and foods, especially milk, is disclosed. The fortifying complexes contain a calcium source and a negatively-charged emulsifier with or without an organic or inorganic acid or a salt thereof. These complexes have been found to be particularly effective in fortifying milk and milk-protein containing beverages without coagulation of the proteins or without significantly changing the texture of the product.

Calcium complexes for fortification of foods and process of making

A fortified foodstuff comprising a fortifying amount of a complex of calcium and a hydrolysed polysaccharide. The foodstuff may be a dairy-based product such as milk or a milk product.
