Patent number: 9232811Abstract: A process for preparing aerated ice confection particles by manufacturing an aerated ice confection in a mass; further freezing the mass cryogenically to a temperature close to the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the aerated ice confection to form a aerated frozen mass, and comminuting the frozen mass to aerated ice confection particles with a high surface area to volume ratio. These particles can be used for a variety of purposes but preferably are used for forming frozen ice drinks in a simple, rapid and convenient manner. This is particularly useful when a single serving of such drinks is desired as no special equipment to make the drink is required. The invention also relates to packaging for the aerated ice confection particles and methods of making frozen ice drinks from the aerated ice confection particles.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2013Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: Nestec S.A.Inventors: Dinakar Panyam, Madansinh Nathusinh Vaghela, Nishant Ashok Joshi, Hoo Tung Vincent Chan

Publication number: 20110027423Abstract: A process for preparing ice containing particles by preparing a liquid formulation that includes water, a glass transition temperature (Tg) elevating agent, a sweetener and a surfactant so that the formulation has a Tg of ?5° C. to ?15° C.; and spraying the liquid formulation into a cryogenicatmosphere that is at least 10° C. below the Tg of the formulation to form a frozen mass to form ice containing particles. These particles can be used for a variety of purposes but preferably are used for forming frozen ice drinks in a simple, rapid and convenient manner. This is particularly useful when a single serving of such drinks is desired as no special equipment to make the drink is required. The invention also relates to packaging for the ice containing particles and methods of making frozen ice drinks from the ice particles.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2009Publication date: February 3, 2011Inventors: Kendra Nicole Ellis, Madansinh Vaghela, Dinakar Panyam, Erich Josef Windhab, Natalie Béatrice Janine Dürr-Auster, Peter Walter Bigler

Publication number: 20100098808Abstract: The invention provides a method of making a frozen beverage by arranging a frozen confection in a container with the frozen confection having a three-dimensional shape with a surface area to volume ratio higher than the same volume of frozen confection which assumes the shape of the container and being arranged in the container to provide one or more open spaces or cavities including at least one extending through or around the frozen confection to the bottom of the container. The open spaces or cavities allow liquid to penetrate and enter into the frozen confection to facilitate mixing of the liquid and the frozen confection to form the frozen beverage upon demand.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2009Publication date: April 22, 2010Inventors: Madansinh Vaghela, Nishant Joshi, Hoo Tung Vincent Chan, Dinakar Panyam

Patent number: 6834779Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing canister that improves dosing consistency and powder evacuation, particularly when dry powdered beverage-forming or food-forming material having poor intrinsic flowing properties are to be dispensed. The canister includes a reservoir having two terminal walls and two side walls, a rotatable volumetric dosing device longitudinally extending in the reservoir, and a main agitating wheel arranged to gear on the rotatable volumetric dosing device to rotate in the reservoir upon actuation of the rotatable dosing device. The secondary agitating wheel is arranged to gear on the main agitating wheel and the two wheels are vertically offset so that the main wheel is arranged to act in a downward rotation closer to a first terminal wall whereas the secondary wheel is arranged to act in a downward rotation closer to the second terminal wall.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2002Date of Patent: December 28, 2004Assignee: Nestec S.A.Inventors: Gerhard Ufheil, Juan J. Gonzalez, Francesco Chiarella, Constance L. Whippie, Dinakar Panyam
