Method Of Producing A Reduced-Calorie Food Product

US Patent:
2008008, Apr 3, 2008
Filed:
Sep 30, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/541610
Inventors:
Girish Subramaniam - Bangkok, TH
Tedoro Rivera - Algonquin IL, US
Nicholas Shields - Carpentersville IL, US
Diana Pesha - Chicago IL, US
Assignee:
Tropicana Products, Inc. - Bradenton FL
International Classification:
A23L 2/00
US Classification:
4263305
Abstract:
Calories in a juice can be reduced by selectively removing more sucrose than primary sugars, for example, glucose and fructose. An acceptable flavor profile can be achieved since the primary sugars have a higher perceived sweetness than sucrose. The food product processing system for reducing calories can include multiple stages for filtering the juice to produce a clarified low-calorie juice having an acceptable flavor profile.
