Abstract
An aseptically packaged, liquid, non-dairy coffee whitener which is shelf-stable for several months, and a process for preparing it, are provided. The coffee whitener comprises water, vegetable fat, an edible emulsifier system, a milk protein, salt, and other optional ingredients. The process comprises performing an ultra-high temperature sterilization treatment on a mixture comprising water, heated vegetable fat, an edible emulsifier system, and milk protein; cooling; homogenizing; and further cooling and packaging the resulting emulsion in an aseptic container under aseptic conditions. The product is shelf-stable for several months before opening and is stable against browning under refrigeration conditions for up to four weeks after opening. Browning is avoided by the absence or substantial absence of any reducing sugar in the product.
