| 摘要 |
The invention provides a method of producing a ready-to-eat low fat fruit-based food product comprising the steps of pulping fruit; combining portions of fruit pulp from different fruits; and freezing the combined portions to produce a frozen product, all without adding any or substantially any sweetening or flavouring constituent other than the fruits and/or their juices. A portion of fruit juice may be removed from the pulp, and may optionally be recombined, in part, with the pulp. Further size reduction stages may be provided to adjust rheological properties, while an emulsifier such as lecithin may be added. In particularly preferred methods, the mixture is frozen with a scraped surface heat exchanger and gas, such as nitrogen, may be injected into the mix. |
