The invention relates to a system for aerating a liquid food product, wherein the system includes a bubble generator () for generating bubbles in a liquid food product flow. The bubble generator () includes a wall () having gas transmissive pores, which wall separates an air supply space () from the liquid food product flow, wherein an air supply () is provided for supplying air to the air supply space (). The air supply () includes an air drying device () for drying air, preferably dehumidifying air, to be supplied to the air supply space () and/or a container () containing pre-dried air, said container () being arranged for supplying dried air to the air supply space.

System for aerating a liquid food product, and a method for preparing a liquid food product

An eductor suitable for use in an assembly for preparing a liquid product comprises a housing having a substantially cylindrical wall. The eductor comprises an injector valve which is displaceably arranged within the cylindrical wall from first position to a second position longitudinally spaced from the first position, and vice versa. On its outer surface the injector valve comprises two annular protrusions which are spaced from each other, each of the annular protrusions engaging the inner surface of the cylindrical wall for forming a seal therewith, said annular protrusions together with the inner surface of the cylindrical wall forming an annular chamber, said protrusions being arranged for isolating the annular chamber from fluid communication with any environment outside the annular protrusions when said injector valve is positioned in the first position or the second position or any position in between.
