Abstract
The present invention relates to a non-dairy, fat-free, dry blend suitable for reconstitution with milk, to provide an imitation buttermilk product having the color, flavor, consistency and texture of cultured buttermilk. The dry blend of the present invention comprises, as essential ingredients, a major amount of maltodextrin; a minor amount of a milk soluble hydrocolloid gum; an acidifying amount of a food grade acid, of which a flavoring amount is acetic acid; and other flavorants and colorants. On reconstitution with milk, a stable product is obtained despite low pH in the range of about 4.2-4.6.
