Australians and New Zealanders
are
major consumers of flavoured milk. Given the range
of flavours available and the niches catered to by
dairy companies, the local consumer is rather savvy
about the quality of the flavoured milk.
 |
| Cocoa Powder |
Colour,
Flavour
Chocolate milk is the most popular
flavoured milk, with the most critical ingredient being
cocoa powder. Select the right quality cocoa powder
and many of the other formulation problems take care
of themselves. |
De Zaan™ Cocoa
Powder from ADM provides
the right flavour and colour for the right application.
Typical cocoa
powders include:
 De
Zaan™ 250-DP-11
"A mildly alkalised cocoa with
good colour and flavour"”
De
Zaan™ D-11-S
“ A rich European-style cocoa with rich flavour, dark brown
in appearance"”
Important quality attributes also include nib and shell content, and microbial
levels, both of which are very low in De Zaan™ cocoas.

Flavour |

developing sophistication in the flavoured milk area,
consumer tastes are becoming more demanding.
Symrise has
vast expertise in flavour requirements for dairy
products, as well as ensuring compatibility of the

| Carrageenan |
Gums, hydrocolloids,
thickeners, stabilisers
Gum selection for flavoured milks usually falls
into two categories: suspension of particles, such
as cocoa powder and minerals, or to provide mouthfeel. |
The range of Seakem
carrageenans from FMC BioPolymer are
designed for use in flavoured milks. Each carrageenan
is standardised for milk protein reactivity. Seakem carrageenan
can be dosed at 100 - 300 ppm to give suspension
and mouthfeel. |
| Microcrystalline Cellulose
(MCC) |
|
Novagel Colloidal
Microcrystalline Cellulose from FMC
BioPolymer forms an insoluble 3-dimensional
network in flavoured milk which suspends insoluble
particulate material. It also increases opacity,
prevents fat coalescing and acts as a fat mimetic
to give mouthfeel. |
| Calcium
salts |
Minerals |
Many
manufacturers choose to add additional minerals
to flavoured milks. Typically these include calcium
in a number of formats, but other minerals can
also be added.

profile in some products such as chocolate drinks. |
