摘要

A disposable assembly contains a concentrated liquid food product and comprises an eductor and a microfiltration device. A water inlet of the eductor is configured for connection to an external source of water. A gas inlet of the microfiltration device is configured for connection to an external source of gas and an outlet of the microfiltration device is configured for discharging a foamed food product created by the microfiltration device from the disposable assembly. A system for preparing a foamed food product comprises a product preparation apparatus for preparing said foamed food product, and such a disposable assembly. The apparatus comprises a water source, a water heater and water pressurizing means configured for detachable connection to the eductor of the disposable assembly. The apparatus further comprises a pressurized gas source and gas pressurizing means configured for supplying pressurized gas to the microfiltration device. In a method for preparing a foamed food product heated water is supplied to the water inlet of said eductor for entraining concentrated liquid food product out of the holder and for mixing said concentrated liquid food product with the heated water.
