Abstract:
A process for the continuous production of a butter-like edible fat product, spreadable at refrigerator temperature and consisting of cow's cream and 15-30% (based on the total fat content) of a vegetable, tocopherol-containing triglyceride oil, comprising the following steps. First, the fat content of the cream is adjusted to 36-38% by weight, whereupon the cream is cooled to 3.degree.-4.degree. C. and stored for at least 3 hours. Then the cream is pumped in a stream to a continuous butter making machine of the Fritz type. All or a considerable portion of the oil is injected into the stream of cream between the storage and the butter making machine. After admixing, but ahead of the butter making machine, the injected oil is finely divided and emulsified. The relative amounts of the cream and the injected oil in the stream entering the butter making machine is so adjusted to obtain a total fat content of more than 40% by weight. The temperatures are controlled so that the mixture entering the butter making machine will be at 5.degree.-6.degree. C. Churning is effected at a temperature of 5.degree.-7.degree. C. Unless all oil has been injected into the stream, the remaining portion of the product's oil is added to the working section of the butter making machine.
Abstract:
A frozen confection dispenser including a reservoir for receiving and holding a product to be dispensed, an evaporator with cylindrical cooling element, a movement device including a helical element arranged to rotate concentrically externally of a cooling element in such a way as to advance the product along the longitudinal axis of the cooling element, a driver engaged with the movement device for the rotation thereof, and a dispenser for dispensing of the product, wherein the helical element has an angle of attack of less than 60° relative to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder. A helical element and a method for dispensing frozen confection with a dispenser are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a butter making device comprising a butter containing section containing a basic butter product to be processed further, a dosing unit for adding additives to the basic butter product, and a flow restricting and generating device disposed at the butter containing section for passing butter from the butter containing section for further processing the basic butter product to the dosing unit, wherein at least one further dosing unit and at least one further flow restricting and generating device disposed at the butter containing portion for passing basic butter containing section to the at least one further dosing unit.
Abstract:
A butter-like food fat being directly spreadable at refrigeration temperature, i.e. 4 to 5.degree. C., and preferably containing 80 to 83% fat is produced by addition of vegetable oil, water, and salt. Initially conventional butter is produced, which preferably contains 80 to 83% fat and which is made exclusively from milk. Subsequently, the conventional butter is passed continuously through a tight, closed plant, whereby the butter initially passes through a kneading station followed by addition of half the total amount of added vegetable oil. Then the butter mixture passes through a mixer, whereafter the remaining portion of the amount of added vegetable oil and water and salt are added. In this manner buttermilk results exclusively as a by-product from the production of the conventional butter and contains therefore nothing but pure milk fat. Accordingly, the buttermilk can be used as market milk and sold at the highest possible market price. In addition, a particularly high production flexibility is obtained during the production of butter.
