Abstract: Disclosed is a process for manufacturing a concentrate for making a premix for a frozen confection, wherein the concentrate is in the form of granules. The process comprises the steps of: (a) forming an oil-in-water emulsion wherein the fat droplets in the emulsion have an average particle size (D3,2) of less than 1 micron, the emulsion comprising fat in an amount of at least 65% by weight of the emulsion; (b) providing powder comprising saccharides, non-saccharide sweetener and/or protein; (c) combining, in a granulation step, the powder and the emulsion to form a mixture with a moisture content of less than 10% by weight of the mixture, wherein the emulsion binds the powder into granules; and (d) recovering the granules from step (c).

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for manufacturing a premix for a frozen confection, the process comprising the steps of: (i) forming an oil-in-water emulsion comprising fat in an amount of at least 45% by weight of the emulsion; (ii) providing an adjunct composition comprising saccharides, non-saccharide sweetener, protein or a combination thereof; (iii) providing an aqueous liquid; and (iv) combining the emulsion, adjunct composition and aqueous liquid.
