Frozen beverage composition containing hydrolyzed pea protein

Abstract

A frozen beverage composition containing hydrolyzed pea protein, and methods of making the same. The addition of hydrolyzed pea protein to non-carbonated frozen beverages has been found to produce aeration, density, and mouth feel similar to that of a carbonated frozen beverage.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority to US Provisional Application No. 62 / 308,445, filed March 15, 2016, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to frozen beverage compositions and methods of making the same. Background technique [0004] In various applications, frozen beverages are typically produced with a beverage base, diluent, and ice. For example, frozen beverages can be produced by blending beverage concentrate, carbonated or still water, and ice. Thus, frozen beverages may be carbonated or non-carbonated, and generally, carbonated frozen beverages have more aeration or overrun than non-carbonated frozen beverages. Thus, carbonated frozen beverages typically exhibit a lighter density and mouthfeel than non-carbonated frozen beverages.

Problems solved by technology

However, carbonated frozen beverages require additional storage of the carbonation equipment and may create mechanical problems in the machines used to produce the frozen beverages

For example, carbonated frozen beverages can be difficult to freeze or maintain at the proper consistency, and frozen carbonated water or beverages can cause unacceptably high pressures to build up within the machine
