  • Method and apparatus for the manufacture of a frozen product
    Patent number: 11363826
    Abstract: A method for producing a frozen product including a solid matrix throughout which particulates are distributed using an apparatus including at least one compartment which is rotatable about an axis. The method can include the steps of adding to the compartment a liquid to be frozen to form the matrix and particulates to be distributed therein, reducing the temperature around the compartment to a temperature below the freezing point of the liquid, rotating the compartment about the axis while at least some of the liquid freezes within the compartment trapping at least some of the particulates within the frozen matrix and removing the frozen product from the compartment.
