摘要:
A process and apparatus for making a shaped frozen confection. The apparatus has a plurality of nozzles for extruding the shaped confection in a variety of contoured shapes. The nozzles simultaneously move in a vertical direction and circularly in a horizontal direction, thereby moving in a spiral path to produce a spirally-shaped frozen confection. A variety of differently shaped frozen confections can be made by varying the rate of extrusion from the nozzles, or the rate or direction of vertical movement of the nozzles.

A flavor dispensing device usable on machines for dispensing frozen foods, such as ice cream. The flavor dispensing device is suitable to be retrofitted on existing food dispensing machines below the dispensing spigot. One embodiment includes a syrup stem protruding inwardly into the food/flavor mixing chamber. This stem may have both an opening in the central portion and the perimeter portion of the mixing chamber, resulting in syrup being deposited in the center and the perimeter of the ice cream flow. A rotor in the chamber provides mixing, and in one embodiment the rotor is tangentially driven and has a central aperture therein. A water flush system is provided to clean syrup and food from the various lines and ducts. The flavor dispensing device is readily removable for cleaning and servicing.

A low labor, highly efficient process and system for manufacturing chocolate coated ice cream cookie sandwiches is achieved by incorporating a conveyor system for transporting the ice cream cookie sandwich through the various stages of its manufacture along with uniquely constructed ice cream brick slicing machines and a unique chocolate coating machine. In addition, a pass-through freezer is preferably employed prior to the chocolate coating, in order to assure a high quality, tasty product. The ice cream slicing machine of the present invention employed in the process and manufacturing system of this invention is constructed for receiving a plurality of ice cream bricks and cutting each brick into a plurality of slices in an efficient, automatic, integrated operational procedure and presenting each ice cream slice to a holding zone for placement on a cookie moving along the conveyor system. In addition, the chocolate coating machine of the present invention incorporated into the process and manufacturing system of this invention incorporates a plurality of clamps controllably driven about the coating machine and positioned for receiving the ice cream cookie sandwich and automatically submerging the sandwich in a chocolate bath and automatically releasing the chocolate-coated ice cream cookie sandwich when the chocolate coating has completely cooled and dried.

This invention provides a safe and sanitary apparatus for blending hard ice cream (or other frozen confections) with syrups and other ingredients. The funnel holding the materials to be mixed is advanced in progressively increasing sweeps over the blending auger as the auger is rotated in clockwise and counterclockwise directions to produce a tasty and attractively marbled or blended product. A spray head and suitable automatic washing apparatus also is provided to rinse the auger and funnel surfaces.
摘要:
A method for continuously producing pop-shaped frozen confections at line speeds exceeding 20 cycles per minute is disclosed. A conveyor system for transporting pop-shaped metal molds is provided. The molds are filled with a flowable confection so that the top portions of the molds are left unfilled. The molds are then transported into a freezing zone to partially freeze the contents. A stick is inserted into the partially frozen contents of each mold. Next, a liquid cryogen, such as liquid nitrogen, is added to each mold to cover the exposed surface of the material. The liquid cryogen is then vaporized and the molds are removed from the freezing zone. Then, the completely frozen, pop-shaped confections are removed from each mold and immersed in a water bath to form an encapsulating ice shell thereon. The ice-coated frozen confections may be subsequently packaged.
摘要:
A novel frozen-dessert coated with a viscoelastic material is disclosed. The viscoelastic material is prepared by mixing and kneading starch of substantially amylopectin with saccharides and water. Preferably, the starch is selected from starch of glutinous rice, corn or glutinous corn.

A method of producing a frozen, dual-textured confection comprising a cream and a gelatin-containing aerated phase and a natural or simulated fruit phase is disclosed. According to one embodiment, gelatin is dispersed in water and the dispersion is then combined with cream, sweetener, emulsifier and a gum stabilizer to form a uniform emulsion. The emulsion is then partially frozen and aerated. A fluid, natural or simulated fruit component is separately produced by combining pureed fruit or synthetic fruit flavor, sweetener and a gum stabilizer. The partially frozen, aerated emulsion is passed together with a fruit component through a filler head into a mold or container so that the mold or container contains a cream and gelatin-containing phase and a fruit phase. The contents of the mold or container are then thoroughly frozen. A stick may be inserted into the mold prior to the thorough freezing so that the frozen confection may be hand-held while being eaten.
摘要:
A composite frozen confection comprising an ice confection in contact with a layer of fat-based confectionery, said confectionery being a suspension of sweetening and flavoring solids in an edible fat, wherein the edible fat includes a fat composition which is an interesterified mixture of about 75% to 90% of a lauric acid or oil and about 10% to 25% of a non-lauric oil having(a) solids content index (SCI) values (%) in each of the following ranges:70-93 at -20.degree. C.65-93 at -10.degree. C.55-90 at 0.degree. C.15-40 at 20.degree. C.0-12 at 30.degree. C. and,0 at 35.degree. C.;(b) slip melting point in the range 23.degree.-32.degree. C., and(c) a brittleness time of at least 45 seconds.
摘要:
A marshmallow frozen confection in which the marshmallow encloses a core material, such as ice cream or sherbert and which retains its solidity at the temperature below about -15.degree. C. A water content of the marshmallow is in the range of about 20 to 35%.
