  • Patent number: 8425967
    Abstract: An aerated frozen confection having reduced ice crystal growth after heat shock, and being prepared from a mixture of ingredients suitable for forming the confection and at least one emulsifier for reducing ice crystal growth after heat shock. Advantageously, the emulsifier facilitates formation and stabilization of fat alpha crystals, the confection having an overrun of about 20% to about 250%, uniformly distributed small air cells having an average size of less than about 50 microns, ice crystals having a size of 30 microns or less after heat shock, and a smooth texture.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6231901
    Abstract: A frozen confectionery product which changes color has first and second frozen confectionery product compositions arranged for being consumed together. In an embodiment, the first composition has an acidic pH and contains a colorant component which colors the first composition and which, upon an increase in pH, changes color, and the second composition has a pH so that upon a mixing with the first composition, the pH of the first composition and colorant mixed with the second composition increases so that the colorant changes color, and each composition may contain a differing coloring component for obtaining a different coloration upon mixing.
