Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
A process for preparing a beverage which consists of intimately admixing (i) a dry composition consisting of a pre-gelatinized starch, an edible acid present in an amount sufficient to bring the pH of a subsequently milk-reconstituted mix to 3-5, and a hydrocolloid gum consisting of a mixture of guar gum and xanthan gum, and (ii) fluid milk, the ratio of said dry composition to said milk being about 31/2 ounces of composition:2 cups of milk, whereby a fluid liquid-phase beverage is produced.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
82 words
A process for preparing a beverage which consists of intimately admixing (i) a dry composition consisting of a pre-gelatinized starch, an edible acid present in an amount sufficient to bring the pH of a subsequently milk-reconstituted mix to 3-5, and a hydrocolloid gum consisting of a mixture of guar gum and xanthan gum, and (ii) fluid milk, the ratio of said dry composition to said milk being about 31/2 ounces of composition:2 cups of milk, whereby a fluid liquid-phase beverage is produced.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
The process of claim 1 wherein, in the composition (i) the pre-gelatinized starch is a modified tapioca starch and is present in an amount of from 5-20% by weight of said composition.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
The process of claim 1 wherein in the composition (i) the hydrocolloid gum is present in an amount of from 0.1 to 6% by weight of said composition.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
70 words
The process of claim 1 wherein in the composition (i) said composition (i) consists of the pre-gelatinized starch, modified tapioca starch, present in an amount of from about 5-20% by weight of said composition; the hydrocolloid gum is present in an amount of from 0.1-6% by weight of said composition; and the edible acid is present in an amount sufficient to bring the pH of the milk-reconstituted mix to 3-5.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
114 words
A process for preparing a beverage which consists of intimately admixing (i) a dry composition consisting of pre-gelatinized starch which is a modified tapioca starch present in an amount of from 5-20% by weight of said composition, a hydrocolloid gum consisting of a mixture of guar gum and xanthan gum present in an amount of from 0.1-6% by weight of said composition; an edible acid present in an amount sufficient to bring the pH of a subsequently milk-reconstituted mix to 3-5; sucrose and a flavor; and (ii) fluid milk, the ratio of said dry composition to said milk being about 31/2 ounces of composition:2 cups of milk, whereby a fluid liquid-phase beverage is produced.
