Abstract:
The invention relates to a stirring member (9) for using in a system for preparing a food product, the product being prepared by the stirring member (9) moving inside a container (8), the stirring member (9) being configured in such a way that it can adopt different configurations depending on its direction of rotation inside the container (8). Preferably, the stirring member (9) can adopt a spoon configuration or a whisk configuration. The invention further relates to a method for using such a stirring member (9) in a system for preparing a food product, the method varying the direction of rotation of the stirring member (9) so that it adopts a different configuration depending on the type of product prepared in the container (8).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a stirring mechanism (90) for a machine for preparing chilled or frozen products comprising one motor, the stirring mechanism (90) comprising one or a plurality of transmission paths between an input shaft (94) rotatable at a speed ωin by the motor and an output shaft (98) rotatable at a speed ωout, the transmission paths providing different values of the ratio ωin/ωout and being selectable as a function of the direction of rotation of the input shaft (94). The invention further relates to a machine (100) for preparing chilled or frozen products comprising a stirring mechanism (90) as described, the stirring mechanism (90) entraining in rotation stirring means (9) to prepare the product. Even further, the invention relates to a system comprising such a machine (100) and a container (10) comprising the ingredient or ingredients for preparing the product by the rotation of the stirring means (9).
Abstract:
The present invention provides a beverage machine with at least three distinct zones 1, 3, 4. A first zone 1 for storing a liquid or semi-liquid product at ambient temperature, a second zone 3 for processing the stored product, in particular for cooling the product to a predetermined serving temperature, and a third zone 4 for storing the cooled product and maintaining it at the predetermined serving temperature. From the third zone 4 an iced beverage can be dispensed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates a liquid composition for frozen confection, in particular to a shelf stable composition which is suitable for making freshly prepared frozen confection. The liquid composition for frozen confection comprising 0.01 to 2% whey protein by weight based on the total composition (wt.); 0.01 to 3% wt of stabilizers, below 4.5% wt of fat, below 15% wt of sweetener, at least 25 % wt fruit, and having pH in the range from 3.5 to 4.2, preferably in the range of from 3.6 to 3.8 and solid content above 10% wt. The invention also relates to a method of production of the liquid composition and to a method of preparation of the frozen composition.
