Method and apparatus for preparing frozen ice confection provided with inclusions

摘要

A process and apparatus for preparing a frozen ice confection comprising a frozen composition incorporating inclusions in a desired distribution by combining a flow of frozen composition with one or more flows comprising inclusions, in such a way that the flows comprising inclusions are introduced discontinuously at a multiplicity of positions, e.g. by feeder pipes (9), in the cross-section of flow of frozen composition, and extruding the resulting combined flow through the nozzle (8), without first subjecting the combined flow to any active blending step.
