Abstract: A frozen aerated product having an overrun of between about 10% and about 250% and a pH, when melted, in the range about 3.5 to about 5.2, comprises water, 0 to about 20 w/w % fat, about 0.25 to about 20 w/w % milk solids not fat, about 0.05 to about 1.5 w/w % soluble dietary fibre and about 0.1 to about 5 w/w % of insoluble dietary fibre, about 0.1 to about 35 w/w % sweetener but no additional stabilisers or emulsifiers as herein defined. The soluble and insoluble dietary fibre may be derived from fruits or vegetables for example from one or more fruit purees, one or more vegetable purees or mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A frozen aerated product is filled into a container having at least two compartments (A) and (B), said compartments being gastighlty separated from each other by an at least partially movable wall, compartment (A) containing a propellant and compartment (B) containing the frozen aerated product, compartment (B) being provided with a valve, wherein the propellant is first introduced into compartment (A), up to where a pressure of at between 1 barg and 10 barg is reached, then the frozen aerated product is introduced into compartment (B) until a pressure of between 5 barg and 12 barg, preferably above 8 barg, is reached.

Abstract: Using an homogenizer operating at higher pressures (ca. 2000 bar) than those conventionally used in ice cream manufacturing, it is possible to generate smaller oil droplet sizes (ca. 0.3 &mgr;m) in an ice cream premix. It allows stabilization of a larger air:water interface, leading to smaller discrete gas cells which in turn modify the organoleptic quality of the ice cream.
