Abstract

Pasteurized or thermally processed soy beverages (6% soy solids) were fortified to a comparable level of cow's milk with 25 mM (or 30 mM) calcium using mixtures of calcium citrate and tricalcium phosphate. These fortified pasteurized products had acceptable sensory properties. Addition of these calcium salts did not adversely affect protein stability of the beverage. Calcium citrate addition caused a decrease in beverage pH and viscosity. Thermally processed (still retort and agitort) canned beverages containing calcium salts were stable for 6 months when stored at 1°C or at room temperature.
