Abstract: A chewy candy analogue that is compatible with ice confectionery products, particularly in terms of the process, storage and consumption conditions of ice confectionery products, is manufactured to provide specific properties in respect of fluid rheology, heat conduction, insulation characteristics, setting rate and plastic deformation characteristic when processed in conjunction with regular ice confection products.

Abstract: Powdered mousse mix comprising a source of carbohydrate, a source of protein, a source of fat and particles of a gas generating ingredient, the particles of gas generating ingredient comprising a matrix containing carbohydrate and protein and entrapped gas under pressure, and the gas being present in an amount to release at least 1 ml of gas per gram of gas generating ingredient at ambient conditions upon contacting with a liquid.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process for preparing a dried soluble beverage product from beverage liquor. The process includes preparing a concentrated beverage liquor to provide a concentrated liquor of a solids concentration above about 50% by weight; foaming the concentrated liquor to an overrun of at least about 200% for providing a foamed liquor; stabilizing the foamed liquor for providing a stabilized foam; and drying the stabilized foam for providing a soluble beverage product. The invention also relates to a dried beverage product of particles of a dried beverage base. The particles have a clearly identifiable foam structure that is substantially free from structures produced by ice crystals during in the drying of the product.
