Abstract: There is provided a food processing apparatus (100) for use with a near-infrared light source and a sensor. The apparatus comprises a food processing chamber (110) configured to receive a food stuff, a food processing unit (120) configured to process the food stuff in the food processing chamber, and an optical component (130) configured to reflect emitted near-infrared light from the near-infrared light source towards the sensor, wherein the optical component is arranged at the food processing unit or a channel formed in the food processing chamber.

Abstract: The invention relates to a blender (200) comprising a base part (201), and a container (202) arranged on the base part (201). The container (202) comprises a detachable bottom part (203). The blender 200 also comprises a sealing gasket (204) arranged between the detachable bottom part (203) and the container (202). The sealing gasket (204) comprises at least one rib (205) extending upwards inside the container (202). By having the ribs directly part of the sealing gasket, the container does not need any ribs on its inside surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a beaker 101 for a blender 102 equipped with a blender bar 103. The beaker comprises a bottom surface 104, and a side wall 105 extending upwardly along a vertical axis A1 from said bottom surface. The side wall 105 forms an opening 106 at its upper part for receiving the blender bar 103. The bottom surface 104 is defined as a portion P1 of a surface S1 generated by the translation of a two-dimensional non-flat pattern NFP along an axis A2 perpendicular to said vertical axis A1.
