<p>The object of the present invention is to provide methods for producing calcium enriched fermented milk or fermented milk drink having excellent physical stability, and the products. The present invention relates to a method for producing calcium enriched fermented milk or fermented milk drink, which comprises of adding HM pectin, calcium individually together with syrup into lactic acid-fermented acidified milk, and then subjecting the mixture to a homogenizing treatment, and a method for producing calcium enriched fermented milk or fermented milk drink, which comprises of subjecting lactic acid-fermented acidified milk to a homogenizing treatment, adding syrup and blockwise-type HM pectin therein and then mixing them, and adding calcium therein and then mixing them. Moreover, it relates to calcium enriched fermented milk or fermented milk drink having excellent physical stability obtained by said methods. According to the present invention, they can be produced at a high production efficiency by using blockwise-type HM pectin having a high titer, without causing the rise of viscosity of the products due to gelation, even though calcium having a high reactivity with said pectin is enriched. In addition, even if the products are stored for a long period of time, they have entirely no problems such as causing precipitate, separated and aggregated ingredients which considered as problems to be solved, and can be obtained such products as stabilized physically and capable of being stored for a long period of time.</p> |
