Abstract: The apparatus (1) according to the invention for preserving and dispensing a food product such as a yogurt has a tank (4) outside which the product can be extracted by actuating an extraction device (20) and set in motion by a peristaltic pump (5). The apparatus makes it possible to cool the reservoir (4) in a cooling area, engage the pump (5) with a flexible hose (14) of a dispensing line (15) connected to the reservoir and, in response to an order transmitted via an interface (33), extract the food product by rotating a rotor (22) of the pump in a first direction, such that a dose corresponding to the order may be recovered at an outlet (16) of the dispensing line. The circulation of the food product in the dispensing line (15) is modified at the end of the dispensing operation so as to move the food product remaining in the line away from the outlet (16).

Abstract: The apparatus (1) for preserving and dispensing a food product such as a yogurt has a reservoir (4) outside which the product can be extracted by actuating an extraction device (20). The apparatus makes it possible to store and cool the reservoir in a storage compartment (3). The reservoir (4), in the form of a malleable packaging whereof the inner volume decreases in response to the extraction of the food product, is loaded in a holder (11) and fastened in a reclined position using fastening members (63, 64). In said reclined position, the opening of the reservoir faces a slit of the holder and the reservoir (4) extends between its rear end, which is kept in a stationary and adjacent position with respect to the rear end of the holder, and its front end, which is kept in a stationary and adjacent position with respect to the front end of the holder, independently of the deformation of the reservoir (4).
