Definitions
- the present invention concerns a spoonable gas containing products having a gel texture.
- it relates to food products comprising a gas and having a gel texture which exhibit a pleasant sparkling effect in the mouth when consumed as a gel food product.
- the present invention also concerns a process for the preparation of a spoonable gas containing food product having a gel texture.
- Drinkable gas containing beverages are well known to everybody.
- Examples of drinkable gas containing beverages are carbonated soft drinks such as lemonades.
- carbonated milk products are available on the market.
- carbonated drinks on the basis of fruit juices and vegetable extracts are also well accepted by the consumers.
- the invention relates to a spoonable gas containing food product having a gel texture comprising a pectin, an acid, a liquid and a gas wherein the pH of the composition is in a range of 2.5 to 5.0 and the structure of the gel is such that the gas bubbles are trapped in the gel matrix.
- a second aspect of the present invention concerns a process for the preparation of a spoonable gas containing food product having a gel texture wherein the gas bubbles are trapped in the gel matrix, comprising the steps of: mixing pectin, an acid, a liquid and optionally at least one of sweeteners and flavoring agents; pasteurizing the mixture; injecting the gas to form a gas containing product; holding the gas containing product for a period between 0.25 to 5, preferably 0.5 to 2.5 minutes; storing the product under isobaric conditions and fi ll ing the product in containers under non-isobaric conditions while simultaneously adding 0,01 to 1 wt.-% of an acid.
- Figure 1 is a process diagram illustrating a way how to produce the spoonable gas containing food product of the present invention. Detailed description of the invention
- the spoonable gas containing food product of the present invention has a gel texture in which the gas bubbles are trapped in the gel matrix. In this condition, the gas bubbles are uniformly distributed (dissolved) in the gel matrix providing a proper absorption of the gas in the food product. The gas bubbles are solved in the matrix and thus present in a gel condition.
- spokeable product it is meant a product that has a viscosity higher than 2000 centipoises, preferably a viscosity comprised between 20 000 and 300 000 centipoises measured in a Brookfield viscosimeter with module 93-C at a speed of 5RPM at 8°C.
- Such gel properties guarantee that the product can be spooned, i.e. that portions of product can be cut and separated from the rest of the product, and that the spooned portion will not flow from the spoon during consumption.
- the pH of the food product is clearly in the acid range. It has been found that the pectin in the product sensitively reacts to the pH . A decrease of pH increases the consistency of the gel, hence the stability of the gas bubbles trapped into the gel matrix, which allows to achieve a high overrun, in other words a high content of gas into the gel matrix. In other words, the lower the pH is, the higher is the degree of jellification, and the higher the sparkling effect in the consumer's mouth.
- the pH of the composition is in a range of 2.5 to 5.0.
- the pH is in a range of 3 to 4.5, with a range of 3.5 to 4.0 being more preferred.
- the product according to the invention is such that when exposed at atmospheric pressure, the gas contained thereinto is not expelled out of the gel matrix, and the size of the gas bubbles is such that they are not visible for the human eye, i.e. the product looks still.
- the consumer can realize that this gel product has a strong sparkling mouthfeel, due to the high amount of gas that is trapped into the gel matrix.
- the spoonable gas-containing food product of the present invention comprises a pectin as a gelling agent to provide the gel characteristic of the product.

- the spoonable gas containing food product having a gel texture of the invention can be produced by a process using the injection of a liquid gas such as liquid C0 2 .
- the process comprises the steps of mixing, heat treatment, gas injection, holding time, isobaric storage and non-isobaric filling.
- one way of manufacturing the food prod ucts of the present invention is a process, as shown in Figure 1 that comprises the following steps:
- ingredients such as pectin, an acid, a liquid and optionally at least one of the sweeteners and flavoring agents are mixed with standard agitation in a conventional mixing machine.
- the temperature is set at 85 to 140°C, preferably about 90°C during a period of 15 sec. to 10 min , preferably 6 to 8 minutes followed by a temperature decrease of 8°C.
- a gas for example C0 2
- C0 2 is injected in a rotor-stator device at a continuous temperature of 2 to 30 °C, preferably 6 to 10°C.
- the amount of injected C0 2 is regulated according to the flow of the pasteurized pre-mixed product.
- a control pressure valve is provided that ensures the holding time and a proper absorption of the gas by the product at the outlet of the rotor-stator system.
- the working pressure in the control pressure valve is 50 to 400, preferably 80 to 200 kPa.
- This step is provided to ensure a proper absorption of the gas in the liquid.
- the holding time is set in a range of between 0.25 to 5, preferably 0.5 to 2.5, most preferably 0.5 to 1.5 minutes.
- the stabilized product is stored in an isobaric tank previous to the filling step, having a head space pressure of 50kPa to 400 kPa.
- the temperature remains constant.
- Non-isobaric filling The filling is carried out by a non-isobaric filling system which can be carried out under aseptic conditions. Supplementary acid is added to achieve a total quantity of 0.01 to 1 wt.-%, preferably 0.1 to 0.5 wt.-%, more preferred 0.2 to 0.4 wt.-% in the product and also to reach the desired level the level of jellification. It should be noted that if in the storing tank the pressure is 1 bar internally, the total pressure would be the atmospheric pressure (outside of the storing tank) plus 1 bar in the internal tank. In other words, the manometric pressure measured inside the storing tank is a relative pressure.
- the total acid in the recipe is about 0,01 to 1 wt.-%. A part of it is added during mixing and the rest is added during filling with the aim to finish the jellification of the product in this step and to trap the gas in the matrix. In other words, a total amount of acid between 0,01 to 1 % is required to achieve the jellification.
- the amount added at the final step only complements the total; therefore this amount depends on the amount added in the first stage.
- the product is stored at a temperature of between 2 to 12°C for at least 45 days without losing gas under maintaining the gel texture.
- an acid selected from organic and inorganic acids for example those as mentioned above, a liquid selected from water, fruit juice, fruit pulp, coffee, tea, milk, soy based drinks, natural extracts, chocolate based drinks or smoothies and a gas selected from C0 2 , N 2 , 0 2 and mixtures thereof are used.
- a C0 2 stream is preferably used to produce a carbonated spoonable gel food product of the invention that exhibits an excellent sparkling effect.
- the product of the present invention is filled up in suitable containers such as cans and cups made of aluminum, glass or plastic. After filling, the containers are air- tightly sealed according to standard procedures.
- the process described provides a stable gas containing food product having a gel structure.
- the stable gel structure is achieved by the high dissolution of the gas in the gel matrix as the gas bubbles are trapped in the matrix.
- the product remains stable in the container for at least 45 days in cooled environments of 2 to 12°C.
- Example 1 The following ingredients are mixed in the described proportions:
- the ingredients are mixed with standard agitation at a temperature of about 30°C.
- the pH of the product (m ixtu re) is comprised between 2.5 and 5.0, preferably from 3.5 to 4.5.
- C0 2 is injected in a rotor-stator device at a conti nuous temperature of 8°C.
- the amount of injected C0 2 is regulated according to the flow of the pre- mixed product.
- the working pressure in the control pressure valve is 100kPa.
- the final concentration of C0 2 gas in the product is 1 .5 to 5 g/L (Measured with Steinfurth equipment).
- a holding time stabilization time
- the product is stored in an isobaric tank having a head space pressure of 100kPa. Thereafter the product is filled in plastic bottles using a non-isobaric filler system. Further, 0.17% wt. of citric acid is added. The bottled products are stored at 5°C.
- the product has been tested and found to be a raspberry-taste refreshing dessert that exhibits a pleasant sparkling mouth-feel when consumed.
