    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing a plant- based oil-in-water emulsion comprising the steps of providing an ingredient composition which is free from dairy protein, said composition comprising 1.5 to 5 wt. %, preferably 2 to 5 wt. % proteins, wherein the protein consist of plant protein only, 0.5 to 10.5 wt%, preferably 1.5 to 7.5 wt% of oil, and having a pH of 5.3 - 6.7, preferably 5.6 - 6.6, optionally adding divalent cations to provide a concentration of 1 - 5 mM free divalent cations in the ingredient composition, optionally adding monovalent cations to provide a concentration of 1 - 20 mM free monovalent cations in the ingredient composition and homogenizing and subsequently heat treating the ingredient composition to a temperature of 80°- 100°C for a period of 0.5 - 15 min or an ultra high temperature (UHT) heat treatment above 135°C for 3 to 30 s to form agglomerated proteins comprising plant proteins and oil, and shearing the composition during or after the heat treatment to reduce the size of the agglomerated proteins, the agglomerates having a size of 5 to 50 microns as measured by D(4,3) mean diameter as measured by laser diffraction after the shearing. The invention also relates to a plant-based oil-in-water emulsion obtained by the method, and a use of the plant-based oil-in-water emulsion for the use in food and beverage products.

    Abstract: An attachment for a beverage container may comprise a cap configured to attach to an opening in the beverage container. The cap comprises an opening. The attachment also comprises a tube passing through the cap. The opening in the cap is located proximate to a first end of the tube and a second end of the tube is configured to be located within the beverage container when the cap is attached to the beverage container, such that a beverage contained in the beverage container can flow through the tube and out of the opening in the cap. The attachment also comprises a container attached to the tube and configured to hold a liquid. The container comprises an opening to allow the liquid to flow from the container into the tube and out of the opening in the cap. The attachment also comprises a restrictor between the opening of the container and the tube to control and/or restrict the flow of the liquid from the container into the tube. The restrictor and the tube are configured such that the liquid begins to exit the opening in the cap before the beverage begins to exit the opening in the cap.

    Abstract: A fitment assembly (10) for one or a plurality of food or beverage containers (20), each container comprising at least one ingredient for the preparation of a food or beverage product, the fitment assembly (10) comprising at least one fluid inlet communicating with at least one injection hole through which a fluid can be supplied into the food or beverage container, and at least one dispensing outlet through which the food or beverage product is dispensed; the fitment assembly (10) comprising two parts relatively moveable with respect to each other such that this relative movement opens or closes the communication of the inner volume of the container with the fitment assembly (10) and/or further opens or closes the communication of the dispensing outlet with the exterior of the fitment assembly; the two parts being relatively moveable both transversally and vertically. In the fitment assembly (10) of the invention, a transversal force applied to compress substantially transversally the fitment assembly (10) is converted into a substantially and opposed vertical movement of the two parts of the fitment assembly (10). The invention further refers to a pack (100) comprising a fitment assembly (10) as described and at least one food or beverage container (20) to which the fitment assembly (10) is attached. The invention further refers to a machine for preparing a food or beverage product from such a pack (100).
