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

A process for preparing aerated ice confection particles by manufacturing an aerated ice confection in a mass; further freezing the mass cryogenically to a temperature close to the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the aerated ice confection to form a aerated frozen mass, and comminuting the frozen mass to aerated ice confection particles with a high surface area to volume ratio. These particles can be used for a variety of purposes but preferably are used for forming frozen ice drinks in a simple, rapid and convenient manner. This is particularly useful when a single serving of such drinks is desired as no special equipment to make the drink is required. The invention also relates to packaging for the aerated ice confection particles and methods of making frozen ice drinks from the aerated ice confection particles.
