Abstract:
Nutritional powders pods, generally in individual servings, suitable for use in beverage production machines are presented. The nutritional powder pods comprise pods containing a nutritional powder. The nutritional powder contained in the pods has specific characteristics, such as particle size, particle porosity, and powder density, which results in good reconstitution of the powder when it is reconstituted into a liquid product by a beverage production machine.
Abstract:
A nutritional composition including an oxidizable oil and rosmarinic acid is provided. The rosmarinic acid protects the flavor and aroma of the nutritional composition by reducing oxidation of the oxidizable oil and reducing or otherwise masking off-flavors and aromas.
Abstract:
A nutritional powder pod suitable for use in a beverage production machine and methods of manufacturing and using the same are provided. The nutritional powder pod includes a pod containing a nutritional powder. The nutritional powder includes a carbohydrate and may include a protein, a fat, or both a protein and a fat. At least about 5 wt % of the carbohydrate in the nutritional powder is dry blended into the final nutritional powder.
Abstract:
Disclosed are nutritional powders and related methods for providing a reconstituted liquid nutritional product with an enhanced air entrainment profile. In certain exemplary embodiments, the nutritional powders and related methods provide reconstituted liquid nutritional products with a specified air entrainment.
Abstract:
Extruded nutritional powders and methods of manufacturing the extruded nutritional powders, including extruded infant nutritional powders and extruded adult nutritional powders are provided. The processes utilize an extruder that is capable of internally mixing and emulsifying protein, and optionally, a carbohydrate with fat and water into an emulsion that can be dried into a powder having equivalent fat separation and dispersibility as compared to spray dried powders.
Abstract:
A nutritional composition including an oxidizable component and a water-soluble plant extract is provided. The water-soluble plant extract includes rosmarinic acid and has a total phenolic content, such that a ratio of the total phenolic content to the rosmarinic acid is between about 1.1:1 to about 3.5:1. A method of reducing off-flavors and aromas in a nutritional composition having an oxidizable component is also provided.

Abstract:
A nutritional powder pod for use in a beverage production machine is disclosed herein. The nutritional powder is prepared by an extrusion process. Also disclosed are processes for preparing a nutritional powder pod suitable for use in a beverage production machine. These processes include preparation of the nutritional powder by a process that includes extrusion.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are nutritional powder pods, and their methods of making and using with beverage production machine. Certain aspects of disclosure include nutritional powders with certain properties (e.g., volume flowability, reconstitution time, reconstitution yield, mean particle size, rate of reconstitution, moisture content, surface area, non-circularity (
