摘要

In the method of the present invention for making a non-fat cream cheese product, microcrystalline cellulose is blended with a source of concentrated skim milk and is mixed to provide a slurry. The slurry is subjected to high pressure, high shear homogenization treatment so as to microfluidize the components of the slurry and provide a microreticulated microcrystalline cellulose dispersion having a high viscosity. The final cream cheese formulation is then prepared by adding skim milk curd to the microfluidized slurry and adding the remaining ingredients, including spices, flavors, starch and a gum, to provide the non-fat cream cheese product of the invention.
