Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous composition in liquid form, which contains oil, milk protein, monosaccharides, disaccharides, and/or oligosaccharides, one or more emulsifiers, and a combination of water-insoluble cellulose-based fibres and one or more water-soluble hydrocolloids. The composition may be aerated, and may be used to be frozen quiescently to prepare a frozen confection. The invention also provides a method for preparation of the composition of the invention, and a method for freezing the aerated composition of the invention. The liquid composition can be distributed at temperatures above 0° C., and frozen at the point of use prior to consumption, such that much energy is saved as compared to distribution of frozen confections at temperatures below 0° C.

Abstract: A frozen confection which is essentially free of ingredients of animal origin, such as milk ingredients, yet which includes good quality protein. Notwithstanding the minimized or absent animal derived ingredients, the product provides the sensory experience of ice cream. The experience is reflected in texture, mouth feel and melt profile. The compositions of the invention is a frozen confection comprising: 1-20 wt % triglyceride oil, 0.5-15 wt % total protein, 10-40 wt % sugar solids and 0-1 wt % emulsifier and 0-1 wt % stabilizer wherein the protein comprises at least one cereal protein such as oat protein and at least one pulse protein such as pea protein.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous composition in liquid form, which contains oil, milk protein, monosaccharides, disaccharides, and/or oligosaccharides, a hydrocolloid and one or more emulsifiers comprising organic acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids. The composition may be aerated, and may be used to be frozen quiescently to prepare a frozen confection. The invention also provides a method for preparation of the composition of the invention, and a method for freezing the acrated composition of the invention. The liquid composition can be distributed at temperatures above 0° C., and frozen at the point of use prior to consumption, such that much energy is saved as compared to distribution of frozen confections at temperatures below 0° C.

Abstract: Process for manufacturing a frozen aerated confection and comprising the steps 5 of producing a premix comprising milk/dairy or vegetable fat 1 to 15% (w/w), preferably 3 to 12% milk solids non fat 0 to 20% (w/w), preferably 3 to 12% sugar and other sweeteners 0.01 to 35% (w/w) vegetable proteins 0 to 5% (w/w) flavors 0 to 5% (w/w) water 30 to 85% (w/w) 0.25 to 15% by weight (expressed as dry plasma over the wet premix) of an enriched plasma fraction is added to the premix freezing and aerating the premix to an overrun of 20 to 150%.

Abstract: A frozen confection comprising citrus fibre, characterised in that the citrus fibre has been treated with a glycosidase enzyme is provided. A process for the production of a frozen confection comprising the steps of: a) contacting citrus fibre with a glycosidase enzyme; b) combining the citrus fibre with the other ingredients of the frozen confection to form a mix; c) homogenising the mix at a pressure of from 50 to 500 bar; and d) freezing the mix to form the frozen confection, wherein step a) can take place before, during or after step b) is also provided.

Abstract: An ice confection comprising gelatin, locust bean gum and xanthan gum, a process for the manufacture of the ice confection and a frozen confectionery product comprising such ice confection are provided. A method of reducing foaming in the production of an ice confection comprising gelatin is also provided as is a use of a combination of locust bean gum and xanthan gum for reducing foaming in the production of an ice confection.

Abstract: A method for freezing a food product comprising the steps of: (a) contacting the food product with a freezing surface, the freezing surface having a temperature of from ?10° C. to ?50° C.; and (b) removing the food product from the freezing surface, characterised in that in step (a) a layer of a frozen aqueous solution is present between the food product and the freezing surface, the solution having a Tg? below ?60° C. and a solute concentration of from 0.001 to 20% by weight.

Abstract: A method for moulding a plastic food product comprising the steps of (a) pressing a moulding surface having a temperature of from ?10° C. to ?5O0C. against the food product to cause at least part of the product to take up the shape of the moulding surface; and (b) removing the moulding surface from the food product characterised in that in step (a) a layer of a frozen aqueous solution is present between the food product and the moulding surface, the solution having a Tg? below ?60° C. and a solute concentration of from 0.001 to 20% by weight.
