ICE CONFECTION CONTAINING ANTIFREEZE PROTEIN

摘要

An ice confection product having a volume of from 1 to 20 ml and a thickness of greater than 5mm comprising an antifreeze protein, wherein DELTA modulus/original modulus >/= 0.4, and/or DELTA strength/original strength >/= 0.4; providing that when DELTA modulus/original modulus /= 50MPa, and/or when DELTA strength/original strength /= 0.2MPa. Such ice confection products have properties which are akin to boiled sweets. Such products cannot be bitten or chewed but must be sucked, resulting in a product which remains in the mouth longer and is more refreshing.
