摘要： The invention relates to a method for dispensing a beverage with the visual appearance of multi-layers obtained from dilution of concentrates in proper dilution ratios. A first liquid layer is first delivered with a controlled density. A second liquid layer is diluted to a density that is lower than the density of the first liquid layer so that the first and second layers form a stable layered arrangement with the second liquid layer of lower density remaining spatially above the first liquid layer to provide a visually distinct layer as compared to the first liquid layer in the container. The invention also relates to a dispensing device and to a machine readable program enabling the device to deliver the multi-layer appearance beverage according to the method of the invention.

摘要： A liquid heater includes at least a pair of electrodes each of which having an electrically conducting surface and being spaced apart from each other. The liquid heater also includes a first heating passage defined, at least in part, by the electrically conducting surfaces of the electrodes. Electrical power to the liquid heater is provided by an electrical power supplier configured to draw an alternating electrical current having a frequency less than or substantially equal to 60 Hz and supply an alternating electrical voltage having a frequency substantially equal to or higher than 50 Hz across the electrodes. The electrodes are arranged to make electrical contacts with liquid received into the heating passage. The liquid in the heating passage generates heat when an electric current flows through the liquid and between electrodes.

摘要： A process for the preparation of a precooked pasta product which comprises boiling a raw pasta in acidified water to partially cook the pasta, soaking the partially cooked pasta in acidified water, the cooking and soaking conditions being chosen to give the soaked, partially cooked pasta a pH of from 3.8 to 4.3 and a moisture content of from 61% to 68%, the soaking time being sufficient to enable the partially cooked pasta to absorb a further 3% to 7% water after boiling, coating with acidified cream having a milk fat content from 20% to 40% by weight based on the weight of cream, flush packaging with an inert gas or vacuum packaging, sealing and finally heat processing to complete the cooking.

摘要： The present invention is directed to a liquid concentrate composition containing emulsifier(s), milk protein(s), freezing point depressant(s), sedimentation stabilizer(s), gelation stabilizer(s), flavoring(s), and water. Optionally, the concentrate may also contain nucleating agent(s) and anti-microbial preservative(s). The present invention is further related to a process for preparing a liquid concentrate of this type, as well as a method for preparing a slush beverage made from the liquid concentrate. Advantageously and unexpectedly, certain combinations of ingredients, their order of addition, and other process parameters can be selected so that the concentrate is more shelf-stable and has more desirable properties and so that the resulting slush beverage tends to have good mouthfeel, a smooth texture, and a pleasant, refreshing taste.
