Abstract:
The present invention concerns a spoonable gas containing food product having a gel texture comprising a pectin, an acid, a liquid and a gas wherein the pH of the food product is in a range of 2.5 to 5.0 and the structure of the gel is such that the gas bubbles are trapped in the gel matrix.
Abstract:
There is provided a device for the aeration of food products comprising a mixing head having at least one set of rotor-stator combinations. Each rotor-stator combination comprises a rotor and a stator with complementary toothed rims which are orientated in opposition in the axial direction. An inlet cover is provided having a product inlet opening for receiving a product to be aerated and a gas injector arranged thereon and traversing the inlet cover such that the head of the gas injector is located in a headspace defined by the inlet cover and a first rotor-stator set.
Abstract:
An apparatus (300) for aerating a food product, (200, 300) comprising a housing (10) with an inlet (100) for the food product and an outlet for the aerated food product, and, within the housing (10), first and second pairs (210, 220, 240) of a rotor and a stator each having complementary toothed rims orientated in opposition in the axial direction, and a gas injector (1) for injecting, at an upstream position relative to the first pair (210, 220) of a rotor and a stator, a gas in the food product to be aerated, wherein a further inlet (310) is provided for injecting, at a position between a pair (210, 220) and an adjacent pair (240) of a rotor and a stator, an additional composition to be mixed with the food product.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a carbonated, fermented food product having a gel texture comprising a liquid, a gelling agent selected from pectin, carrageenan, guar, agar, carob, gelatine, and mixtures thereof, a fruit and/or vegetable juice.
Abstract:
There is provided a shelf-stable dairy mousse in the form of an aerated oil-in- water emulsion, the shelf-stable dairy mousse comprising a dairy base, a fat source, an emulsifier and a hydrocolloid-based stabilizer system. The total fat content is from about 0,5 to about 15 wt % of fat, this fat comprising milk fat and cocoa fat. A process of preparing said shelf-stable dairy mousse is also provided.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus for aerating a pasty product. The apparatus comprises a housing (1) with an inlet (4) for the pasty product to be aerated and an outlet (5) for the aerated product. The apparatus comprises at least a first set of a rotor and a stator (21) and a second set of a rotor and a stator (22). The apparatus further comprises a gas injector (6) for injecting, upstream of the first set of a rotor and a stator (21), a gas into the pasty product to be aerated. The apparatus further comprises an intermediate mixing chamber (7) provided in the housing between the first and the second sets of a rotor and a stator (21, 22). A secondary product introduction means protrudes into the intermediate mixing chamber (7) so as to issue into said intermediate mixing chamber (7). A method for aerating a pasty product is also provided.
Abstract:
A method for the manufacture of a whipped cream composition is disclosed. It comprises the steps of: providing a heat-treated acidified milk-based ingredient; mixing said ingredient with a cream component, to obtain a cream composition comprising 18 to 24 wt% of fat; heat-treating the cream composition, cooling it, and then storing it for a period of from 4 to 10 hours; and then, aerating the heat-treated cream composition to obtain a whipped cream composition having an overrun of from 100% to 200%. A whipped cream composition, and a food product comprising the whipped cream composition are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a drinkable gas-containing food product having a flowing gel texture comprising a jelling agent, an acid, a liquid and a gas wherein the pH of the food product is in a range of 2.5 to 6.0, wherein the gas is dissolved in the gel matrix such that said product has a still state and a sparkling mouthfeel, and the volume of gas in the product is less than 10 g/L, preferably between 2 and 5 g/L.
