High-protein powdered food mix for smoothie-style viscosity
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11896023B2) discloses a high-protein powdered food mix designed to be reconstituted into a smoothie-like consistency using various fluids. The mix comprises over 50% protein derived from a whey protein blend, including agglomerated whey protein powder, acidified whey protein powder, and high-fat whey protein powder. The whey protein blend is formulated with a specific ratio of these components to achieve the desired viscosity when mixed with fluids such as water, juice, coffee, or dairy cream.
Furthermore, the patent details the specific characteristics of each component in the powdered food mix, such as the particle size of the agglomerated whey protein powder, the pH range of the acidified whey protein powder, and the fat content of the high-fat whey protein powder. The mix also includes non-dairy creamer powder, a hydrocolloid powder system, vegetable and/or fruit powder, and essential minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium. The hydrocolloid powder system, comprising a blend of carrageenan powdered gums, plays a crucial role in determining the final consistency of the reconstituted smoothie. The patent emphasizes the non-fortified nature of the high-protein powdered food mix, highlighting the natural sources of calcium and magnesium present in the blend.
