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: A frozen confectionary product comprising a natural stabilizer composition is an object of the invention. The frozen confectionary product has an overrun of preferably 0%-120%. The frozen confectionary product comprises a relatively low protein content. The stabilizer composition comprises egg yolk, a gum and preferably an acidifier. Use of the stabilizer composition is described. A method for the manufacture of the frozen confectionary product is also described.
