Evaporated milk which is stable in storage without the addition of stabilizing salts is prepared by homogenizing a milk product, heat-treating the homogenized milk, evaporatively concentrating the milk, heat-treating the concentrate, homogenizing the heat-treated concentrate and then sterilizing the heat-treated concentrate. Alternatively, a lactic product containing phospholipids derived from milk is mixed with a milk product, the mixture is heat-treated, the heat-treated mixture is evaporatively concentrated, the concentrate is heat-treated, the heat-treated concentrate is homogenized, and then the homogenized heat-treated concentrate is sterilized. Further, alternatively, the milk product is first heat-treated and then evaporatively concentrated, a lactic product containing phospholipids derived from milk is mixed with the concentrate, the mixture is heat-treated, then homogenized and then sterilized. |
