Process for Manufacturing Sterilisable Fruit Milks such as Almond Milk or Coconut Milk, and Milks obtained by the Aforesaid Process.

摘要

Sterilizable milks derived from nuts such as almond or coconut milk, are prepared by crushing or grating the nuts to obtain a powder with a grain size of 5 to 15 microns, and adding this powder to water to form a dispersion wherein to this dispersion is added a stabilizing emulsion consisting of pectin and water. Preferably the end product milk has a pH of less than 6 - this may be achieved by the addition of an acid such as citric acid. The stabilizing emulsion may also contain an emulsifying hydrophilic colloid and a sugar. Fresh, dried or fermented nuts may be used.
