Pressurized non-dairy compositions that can be expelled from a pressurized container, typically through an actuator, into a beverage are described. Upon combining the non-dairy composition with the beverage, a portion of the non-dairy composition provides a stable foam on top of the beverage (foaming) and a portion of the non-dairy composition is mixed into and remains in the beverage creaming).

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for infusing a product component, comprising the steps of: placing the product component into a container; positioning into the product component an expansion agent, the expansion agent comprising at least one of a liquid form and a solid form; pressure sealing the container; forming, through a phase change of the expansion agent, gas bubbles of the expansion agent in the product component; and forming a gas phase propellant of the expansion agent in the container, where the product component is permeated with the expansion agent, such as where the product component is a cream, fat, dairy product, and/or milk substitute.

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for packaging a dispensable substance, including the steps of: placing a first product component into a container; adding a second product component into the container at an initial pressure of less than 1.31 atm, the container comprising a valve dispensing port; sealing the container; and increasing pressure in the container through a phase change of the second product component to a final pressure in the container, the final pressure at least 0.26 atm greater than the initial pressure. Optionally, the second product component warms in the container at least ten degrees Celsius and undergoes a phase change from a solid or liquid to a gas, which increases pressure in the container and functions as a propellant and/or as an expansion agent.

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.
