  • Method and Apparatus for Consumable Powder Reconstitution and Frothing
    Publication number: 20080102178
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for reconstituting consumable powder(s) with a liquid to provide a food liquid such as milk, cappuccino-type beverage, or soup with or without froth. The powder is introduced into a container (15) and pre-wetted by an intersecting liquid spray (13a). Further mixing occurs in the container. The container may have additional liquid streams (14a) feeding into the container for increased mixing. This food liquid can then be aspirated by the Venturi effect by steam generation to produce a frothed/aerated food liquid.
