Title: Nutritious orange drink concentrate, process and drink resultant therefrom
Claims: What I claim is: 1. A process of preparing a nutritious orange drink concentrate having a pH between 3 and 4.5 which comprises (a) admixing from about 23.5 to about 53 percent of water with about 19 to about 40 percent of orange juice concentrate; (b) adding from about 0.0001 to about 0.1 percent of an antifoaming agent to admixture (a); (c) heating admixture (b) to 110.degree. to 120.degree.F., and maintaining the temperature in that temperature range in the following step (d); (d), while agitating admixture (b), adding from about 1 to about 27 percent of a whey protein concentrate to admixture (b), the agitation continuing until the whey protein concentrate is entirely dissolved in admixture (b); (e) cooling admixture (d) to 65.degree. to 110.degree.F., and maintaining the temperature in that range in the following steps (f) to (h); (f) adding a portion of the sugar that will eventually be present in the nutritious orange drink concentrate to admixture (d); (g) adding from about 0.01 to about 3 percent of citric acid to admixture (f); (h) adding from about 0.01 to about 0.5 percent of orange pulp base to admixture (g); and (i) adding a mixture or blend of the remaining sugar and from about 0.1 to about 4 percent of an imitation orange flavoring agent to admixture (h), admixture (h) having a maximum temperature of 75.degree.F. at the start of step (i); from about 0.1 to about 16.1 percent of sugar being used in the nutritious orange drink concentrate, and the whey protein concentrate providing a protein content of about 0.5 to about 10 percent based on the total composition of the nutritious orange drink concentrate. 2. A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein one or two further imitation orange flavoring ingredients are added to admixture (i), the temperature of admixture (i) being between 40.degree. and 75.degree.F. 3. A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein about one half of the sugar is added in step (f) and the remaining sugar is added in step (i). 4. A process wherein the nutritious orange drink concentrate prepared by claim 1 is placed in cans, the cans are sealed and the sealed cans are stored at below 32.degree.F. 5. A process as described in claim 4 wherein the sealed cans are stored at about 0.degree.F. 6. A nutritious orange drink concentrate prepared by the process of claim 1.
