A dispensing unit includes a product reservoir configured to store a food product, a dispensing nozzle configured to dispense the food product from the product reservoir, and an aerator including a first stationary mixing rod and a second stationary mixing rod, the aerator disposed upstream of the dispensing nozzle to aerate the food product before the food product is discharged from the dispensing nozzle.

A foamed product dispensing system, wherein the system includes: a product dispensing machine (B), configured to receive an exchangeable product container (H); a product container (H), configured to cooperate with the product dispensing machine (B), after placement in the machine (B); wherein the product container (H) contains a foamable product (P), preferably a food product, for example cream, wherein the product container (H) has a product processing unit (PPU) including at least one frothing device (15) having a product entrance (15i) for receiving product (P) and a product exit (15u) for discharging product (P), wherein the processing unit (PPU) is connectable to a gas supply for supplying gas to the product (P), wherein the product processing unit (PPU) comprises a processing device (7) arranged downstream of the frothing device (15) and configured for performing a mixing treatment and/or pressure reduction treatment of the product provided with gas.

Disclosed herein are systems for producing whipped food product. The systems include a compressor having an inlet that receives ambient air and an outlet that provides pressurized ambient air. The systems include a first disconnect coupling coupled to the compressor to receive pressurized ambient air. The systems include a charger. The charger includes a container having a chamber for holding food product, a second disconnect coupling in fluid communication with the chamber and couplable to the first disconnect coupling to provide pressurized ambient air to the chamber from first disconnect coupling, a dispense valve, and a nozzle connected to the dispense valve.

A foaming liquid creamer contains water, a lipid, a buffer salt, a stabilizer, and a dairy protein. Optionally the foaming liquid creamer further contains a sugar and/or a flavor. The buffer salt may include at least one of sodium bicarbonate or dipotassium phosphate. The stabilizer may include at least one of carrageenan, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), or guar gum. The dairy protein may include at least one of micellar casein or sodium caseinate. The emulsifier may include mono- and di-glycerides. The lipid may include an oil. The foaming liquid creamer may additionally include an emulsifier such as mono- and di-glycerides. Another aspect is an aerosol packaging which includes the foaming liquid creamer in a pressurized container, and the aerosol packaging has an actuator nozzle.

An actuator nozzle has a lower portion comprising a base configured to connect to a container, and the base includes a lower orifice. The actuator nozzle also has an upper portion including a tapered section on one side of the upper portion, the tapered section tapers inward as the tapered section extends upward from the lower portion, the upper portion further having a substantially vertical section on an opposite side of the upper portion from the tapered section. The actuator nozzle also has an upper orifice in fluid communication with the lower orifice by an interior channel of the actuator nozzle, the upper orifice angled downward from a top of the tapered section of the upper portion to a top of the substantially vertical section of the upper portion.

A foaming liquid creamer contains (i) water; (ii) at least one of micellar casein or sodium caseinate; (iii) at least one carbohydrate source; (iv) at least one lipid; (v) at least one buffer salt; (vi) at least one stabilizer; (vii) at least one sweetener; and (viii) at least one emulsifier. The carbohydrate source may include glucose syrup, preferably glucose syrup DE 25-29. The buffer salt may include dipotassium phosphate. The stabilizer may include at least one of carrageenan, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), or microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). The lipid may include coconut oil. The at least one emulsifier may include mono- and di-glycerides. The sweetener may include at least one of sucralose or acesulfame. The foaming liquid creamer may also contain a flavor. Another foaming liquid creamer contains (i) water; (ii) at least one of non-fat milk solids or milk fat; and (iii) sugar. Another aspect is an aerosol packaging which includes one of these foaming liquid creamers in a pressurized container, and the aerosol packaging has an actuator nozzle.

A foamed liquid dispensing system includes a container for receiving a liquid to be dispensed connectable to, and removable from, a gas charging unit. The gas charging unit includes a gas compressor, gas pressure sensing means, a control unit and a user interface. The user interface permits a user to input a desired final gas pressure from a minimum value to a maximum value in discrete steps. The control unit instructs the gas compressor to charge the container with gas to the desired final pressure. The gas pressure is continuously monitored and the flow of gas into the container is stopped once the desired final gas pressure has been reached. The user interface displays the gas pressure in the container as the charging cycle proceeds. Once charged with gas and removed from the gas charging unit, the container substantially retains the final desired gas pressure until the liquid is dispensed.

A dispensing tip assembly includes a foodstuff additive dispenser for a pressurized foodstuff container. A tip body of the dispensing tip assembly may have low pressure zone in which fluid pressure is lower than fluid pressure upstream of the low pressure zone as flowable foodstuff from the foodstuff container flows through the internal flow passage toward an open downstream end of the tip body. The dispenser tip assembly may include one or more of duckbill valves tethered to one another, and/or a plurality of injection ports and/or structure for one-direction dispensing, and/or internal fins to couple to an actuator of the foodstuff container, and/or an anti-rotation device, and/or a collar for attaching a bulb or pod of the tip body, and/or an ergonomic and functional bulb.
