  • Method for producing an edible gas hydrate
    Patent number: 9572360
    Abstract: A method for producing an edible composite of gas hydrate and ice is provided, the method comprising the steps of contacting an aqueous solution with carbon dioxide or nitrous oxide at a sufficiently high pressure to form a gas hydrate, but at a temperature preventing this; and then reducing the temperature of the solution to form the gas hydrate and ice; characterized in that the aqueous solution contains from 0.0001 to 2 wt % of an ice structuring protein. Frozen confections containing gas hydrates and methods for producing them are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 29, 2011
    Date of Patent: February 21, 2017
    Assignee: Conopco, Inc.
