Powdery composition for the preparation of coffee beverages, process and device for the production thereof

Abstract

Abstract A foaming coffee whitener in powder form contains skimmed milk dry matter, lactose, vegetable fat, caseinate and an alkali metal phosphate and is produced by mixing the constituents, pasteurising the constituents at a temperature of 70 DEG C to 80 DEG C, multistage homogenisation and subsequent spray drying, a gas in the form of CO2 or N2 being added, immediately prior to the spraying nozzle, to the mixture flowing to this. The device for corresponding production of this foaming coffee whitener comprises a mixing tank (5), a heat exchanger (10) connected to the mixing tank (5) and arranged downstream of this and provided for pasteurisation of the resulting mixture, at least two homogenisation stages (18, 20) connected one after the other, arranged after the heat exchanger (10) and provided for homogenisation of the pasteurised mixture, the first homogenisation stage (18) communicating with the heat exchanger (10), a CO2 or N2 impregnation apparatus (nozzle 26) connected to the last homogenisation stage (20) downstream of this and provided to impregnate the homogenised mixture, and also a spray drying column (27) directly connected to the nozzle (26) and provided for spray drying of the mixture containing added CO2 or N2. <IMAGE>
