Abstract:
1. A process for the production of a powdered product from an aqueous solution comprising: a. admixing powder comprising uronic acid oligosaccharide with a degree of polymerization (DP) of 2 to 250, water, protein and carbohydrate to form an aqueous solution comprising between 0.1 and 5 wt. % uronic acid oligosaccharides based on dry weight of the aqueous solution; b. heating the aqueous solution obtained in (a) to a temperature between 50 and 90° C.; c. mixing fat with the aqueous solution of (b), to yield a fat containing aqueous solution; and d. spray drying the fat containing aqueous solution to form a powder composition with an oligosaccharide content of between 0.1 and 5 wt. % uronic acid oligosaccharide based on total dry weight of the composition, wherein the spray dried product is substantially free of Maillard reaction products.
