Abstract
The invention is directed to a process of making milkshake beverage compositions having improved consistency, flavor and physical stability, which process involves eliminating or modifying the pasteurization step used or reversing the sequence of pasteurization and homogenization in conventional methods of manufacturing milkshake beverage compositions so as to limit the swelling of any starch granules present and thus avoid the detrimental effects that the shearing forces found in homogenization processes have on such swollen starch granules.
