Aqueous foams, food products and a method of producing same

摘要

The present invention describes an aqueous foam that includes water, at least one polysaccharide and food-grade, interfacially active particles. The present invention also describes an indulgent shelf-stable foamed food product that contains this aqueous foam. The indulgent shelf-stable foamed food products of the invention have an improved foamed and modular product texture.

主权项

1. A shelf-stable foamed food product comprising 0.1 to 50 percent by weight of an aqueous foam, the aqueous foam comprising gas bubbles that are stabilized by supra-molecular aggregates or particles which show interfacial activity, including at least one polysaccharide or hydrocolloid in an amount of 1 to 60 percent by weight of the aqueous foam and by food-grade, interfacially active particles in an amount of 0.5 to 10 percent by weight of the aqueous foam, wherein the interfacially active particles are seeds, spores, cloves, pepper, fennel, cumin, coriander, nutmeg, poppy grains, paprika, cinnamon, pollen of flowers, wheat germs, wheat bran, saffron, coconut, cacao, melanoidins, ginger, curry, crystals of phytosterols, cholesterol, hesperidin, lycopene, carotenoids, flavonoids, or lamellar surfactants, or mixtures thereof.
