The present invention relates to an aerated frozen confection with an overrun of between 120% and 160%, which includes acacia gum as all or part of a natural emulsifier. A process for the preparation of this frozen confection is also disclosed.

Aerated frozen confectionary product

A method for producing frozen confectionery products comprising a coagulated protein system contributes to the improvement of textural and sensorial attributes of the confections, in particular of products based on lower fat formulations. Such a protein system is used in frozen confection prepared by conventional freezing alone or combined with low temperature freezing wherein it improves the microstructure and stability on frozen products.

Frozen confectionery products

The present invention relates to confectionery products which are shelf-stable and are suitable for quiescent freezing to form frozen confectionery products. In particular, the invention is concerned with unfrozen packaged confections comprising a coagulated protein system which contributes to the stability of the confections in particular when stored at room or chilled temperatures. A method of producing such confectionery products and the products obtainable from the method are also part of the present invention. The use of the products for providing frozen desserts also forms part of the invention.

Shelf-stable confectionery products

The present invention relates to a method for producing frozen confectionery products. In particular, the invention is concerned with a method which contributes to the improvement of textural and sensorial attributes of the confections obtained thereof, in particular of products based on lower fat formulations. The method includes the use of controlled heat (between 90&#xb0; C. and 140&#xb0; C. for 5 seconds to 30 minutes) on an acidified ice confection mix (pH between 5.6 and 6.5) to at least partially form a coagulated protein system including casein whey protein. Such a protein system is used according to the invention in frozen confection prepared by conventional freezing alone or combined with low temperature freezing wherein it improves the microstructure and stability on frozen products.

Frozen confectionery products with improved texture

The present invention relates to frozen aerated products including products manufactured by low-temperature extrusion with superior creaminess. In particular, the invention is concerned with a partially coagulated protein system induced by controlled coagulation of milk protein which imparts outstanding sensory attributes on frozen confectionery including low-temperature extruded frozen products, in particular when containing low fat. A method of producing such frozen aerated confectionery product and the products obtainable from the method are also part of the present invention.

Frozen aerated products

The present invention relates to a frozen confection product comprising glucono-delta-lactone. The present invention also relates to a method of producing a frozen confection product by adding glucono-delta-lactone to an ingredient mix and then homogenize, pasteurize, and freeze the mix. Preferably the method includes a post pasteurization acidification step. Preferably the method uses a standard freezing step followed by low temperature freezing.

Frozen confection product and a method of preparing such

Confectionery products can be shelf-stable and can be suitable for quiescent freezing to form frozen confectionery products. In particular, unfrozen packaged confections can comprise a coagulated protein system which contributes to the stability of the confections in particular when stored at room or chilled temperatures. Also included are a method producing such confectionery products, the products obtainable from the method, and the use of the products for providing frozen desserts also forms part of the invention.
