Embodiment 1

[0044] Preparation of orange mango pineapple (tropical) drink using frozen bacteria

[0045] Apple juice, banana puree, mango juice, orange juice, and pineapple juice were combined with sufficient fructo-oligosaccharides to yield approximately 0.1 g / fl.oz of fructo-oligosaccharides. The mixture is briefly pasteurized before being pumped into finished product tanks. The probiotics are slowly added in frozen form and mixed with the juice mix to create the final drink. For tropical drinks, add approximately 1151 x 10 per 300 gallons of juice / fructo-oligosaccharide mix 11 cfu.

Embodiment 2

[0047] Preparation of berry drinks using frozen bacteria

[0048] A berry drink was prepared following the method of Example 1 using apple juice, pineapple juice, banana puree, and blueberry puree combined with sufficient fructo-oligosaccharides to yield approximately 0.1 g / fl.oz of fructo-oligosaccharides. For berry drinks, add about 1535 DCU per 300 gallons of juice / fructo-oligosaccharide mix. In addition, vitamins and minerals were added to yield 100% of the RDI per serving of the beverage for the following vitamins: vitamin E (30 IU), niacin (20 mg), pantothenic acid (10 mg), vitamin B12 (6 μg) and vitamin B6 (2 mg). Ascorbic acid was added at 0.36% w / w. The combination of components provides unexpectedly good bacterial survival. In particular, the inclusion of vitamins and minerals resulted in increased bacterial viability compared to fruit juice drinks prepared without the use of vitamins and minerals.

Embodiment 3

[0050] Preparation of orange mango pineapple probiotic juice using freeze-dried bacteria

[0051] Apple juice was pasteurized and then stored in clean Product tanks in 2,000 gallon tanks. The apple juice was then transferred into a probiotic inoculated Slurry tank. Once in the tank, stirring to create a vortex, one or more bags of bacteria are added and mixed with the apple juice to form a puree.

[0052] Probiotics are packaged to prevent contamination. Bacteria can be stored cryopreserved for approximately 3 months or frozen for approximately 1 year.

[0053] The tank has been sterilized before being used to store or mix any components of the beverage. Sterilization can be performed by any suitable method. Sterilization can be performed, for example, by autoclaving or by use of disinfecting solutions. The outer surfaces of the packages containing the probiotics were also sterilized before being added to the puree tank. These and other methods are used to minimize the p...

Abstract

Fruit juice beverages comprising probiotic bacteria and fructooligosaccharides may be used for promoting growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Methods for preparing the fruit juice beverages are also disclosed. The methods can achieve a long shelf-life while maintaining high levels of bacterial viability. The probiotic bacteria may be added to the beverage in, for example, freeze-dried or frozen form.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to beverages. In particular, it relates to probiotic drinks. Background of the invention [0002] Consumers show increasing interest in their daily diet as a means to maintain or improve their health. Modern lifestyles reduce the time spent preparing and eating food, which contributes to unhealthy diets, for example, through increased consumption of unhealthy convenience foods that are considered unhealthy due to the methods involved in their preparation or storage It has low nutritional value. Consumption of processed foods is associated with a reduction in the number of beneficial gut bacteria. Other factors known to reduce the survival of beneficial bacteria in the gut include stress and consumption of red meat and alcohol. The reduced beneficial bacteria allows the growth of undesired bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract and reduces the amount of nutrients produced by the beneficial bacteria. [0003] The inc...
