Abstract
The present invention relates to powdered and liquid, dairy and non-dairy creamer compositions. These creamer compositions can be prepared in both concentrated and ready-to-use forms. The powdered creamer compositions are well suited for use in instant and/or dry food and beverage compositions that require the addition of water or other suitable fluids prior to use. The present powdered and liquid creamer compositions are equally well suited for the preparation of ready-to-use formulations that can be added directly to food and beverage products. The creamer compositions of the present invention comprise a microparticulated ingredient component and a secondary ingredient component. The microparticulated ingredient component comprises a fat/oil component and a microparticulated protein component, and optionally a carbohydrate component. The secondary ingredient component of the creamer compositions of the present invention comprises an emulsifier and a bulking agent. The weight ratio of the microparticulated ingredient component to the secondary ingredient component is in the range of from about 1:99 to about 5:1, preferably in the range of from about 1:50 to about 5:1, more prefera…
