  • Publication number: 20200245635
    Abstract: A container stores a main liquid component that contains a dissolved gas, preferably nitrous oxide, separately from a foam initiator component that is at least one of a powder, a liquid or a concentrate. A dispensing part of the container, such as a dispensing lid, can contain the foam initi-ator component. The foam initiator component is dispersed and dissolved into the main liquid component to form a foaming ready to drink beverage. The foam initiator component comprises a portion of the ingredients of the ready to drink beverage. Combination of the foam initiator component with the main liquid component not only results in foam generation in the contain-er without any mechanical energy input additional to the opening of the container but also forms the ready to drink beverage.

  • Publication number: 20130266713
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a simple foaming juice composition with a viscosity, clarity or color of the original juice. In one aspect, the invention relates to a foaming juice composition of a juice product and a food grade ester alginate in an amount sufficient to generate or produce a layer of foam thereon without the addition of other foaming agents when the juice product is subjected to gas incorporation without also producing a significant change in viscosity, clarity or color of the juice product. In some embodiments, the ester alginate is a food grade ester alginate, such as propylene glycol alginate ester. In some embodiments, the ester alginate is present in an amount of from about 0.01% to about 0.25%, and preferably from about 0.05% to about 0.1% of the foaming juice composition. The present invention also relates to a method of making a foaming juice composition by combining a juice product with an alginate ester.

  • Publication number: 20130251878
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a simple foaming tea composition with a viscosity, clarity or color of the original tea. In one aspect, the invention relates to a foaming tea composition comprising a tea product, a food grade ester alginate, wherein the addition of ester alginate generates or produces a layer of foam upon the tea product when subjected to agitation without also producing a significant change in viscosity, clarity or color of the tea product. In some embodiments, the ester alginate is a synthetic ester alginate, such as propylene glycol alginate ester. In some embodiments, the ester alginate comprises from about 0.01% to about 0.25%, and preferably from about 0.05% to about 0.1% of the foaming tea composition.
