Product Info
What is Non-Dairy Creamer(F28)?
Non-dairy creamer is a shelf-stable, powdered or liquid emulsion product based on corn syrup solids and vegetable fats, utilized primarily to lighten and provide a creamy mouthfeel to beverages such as coffee and tea as an economical and lactose-free alternative to traditional dairy.
How is Non-Dairy Creamer(F28) made?
| Step No. | Production Stage | Key Action | Control Point & Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Raw Material Reception & Inspection | Inspect all incoming raw materials: Glucose Syrup, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Sodium Caseinate, Stabilizers, Emulsifiers, etc. | Verify Certificates of Analysis (COA) for every batch. Check packaging integrity and ensure all materials meet food-grade specifications before acceptance into inventory. |
| 2 | Dosing & Emulsion Preparation | Accurately weigh and mix ingredients in a heated tank. Dissolve powders in hot water (~65°C), add glucose syrup, then slowly blend in the melted vegetable oil. | Strict adherence to the formulation is crucial. Monitor mixing temperature and time to ensure all ingredients are fully dissolved and a preliminary emulsion is formed before homogenization. |
| 3 | Homogenization | Pump the liquid mixture through a high-pressure homogenizer. | This is a Critical Control Point (CCP) to create a stable emulsion. Monitor pressure (typically 15-25 MPa) to reduce fat globule size, preventing oil separation and ensuring a smooth mouthfeel. |
| 4 | Pasteurization | Heat the emulsion using a High-Temperature Short-Time (HTST) system. | A CCP for food safety. The specific time and temperature combination (e.g., 85°C for 15 seconds) must be precisely controlled to eliminate pathogens while preserving product quality. |
| 5 | Spray Drying | Atomize the pasteurized liquid into a stream of hot air inside a large drying tower, instantly evaporating the water. | This is the core powder-forming step. Inlet and outlet air temperatures are critical. They directly control the final powder's moisture content, bulk density, and solubility. |
| 6 | Powder Cooling & Sieving | Cool the newly formed powder in a fluid bed cooler and then pass it through a vibrating sieve. | Rapid cooling is essential to prevent caking and preserve quality. Sieving ensures a uniform particle size and removes any oversized agglomerates or foreign matter. |
| 7 | Final Quality Analysis | Collect samples from the finished batch and conduct comprehensive laboratory tests. | Verify key parameters: moisture (<5%), fat content, protein, solubility, color, and microbiological counts. The batch must meet all specifications before being approved for packaging. |
| 8 | Packaging | Fill the approved non-dairy creamer powder into clean, moisture-proof packaging (e.g., multi-wall bags, totes). | Pass the powder through a metal detector prior to filling. Packaging lines may flush bags with nitrogen gas to displace oxygen, extending shelf life. Ensure seal integrity and accurate weight. |

Mechanism of action:
| Parameter | Non-Dairy Creamer(TJ) |
|---|---|
| Functional Category | Emulsifier; Fat System; Mouthfeel & Whitening Agent |
| Key Ingredients | Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (e.g., Coconut, Palm Kernel); Corn Syrup Solids; Sodium Caseinate; Dipotassium Phosphate; Mono- and Diglycerides |
| Mechanism of Action | Forms a stable oil-in-water emulsion. Sodium caseinate and mono/diglycerides encapsulate micronized fat globules, preventing coalescence. This stable colloidal dispersion scatters light, creating a whitening effect. Dipotassium phosphate buffers the pH of the beverage (e.g., coffee) to prevent casein precipitation and feathering. Corn syrup solids provide bulk and improve solubility. |
| Application Effect in Product | Imparts opacity and a 'whitening' effect to beverages. Creates a smooth, creamy mouthfeel and enhances body. Improves flavor profile by masking acidity or bitterness. Ensures stability in hot, acidic liquids like coffee, preventing feathering or curdling. |
