The invention relates to a system for aerating a liquid food product, wherein the system includes a bubble generator (5) for generating bubbles in a liquid food product flow. The bubble generator (5) includes a wall (23) having gas transmissive pores, which wall separates an air supply space (24) from the liquid food product flow, wherein an air supply (4) is provided for supplying air to the air supply space (24). The air supply (4) includes an air drying device (7) for drying air, preferably dehumidifying air, to be supplied to the air supply space (24) and/or a container (8) containing pre-dried air, said container (8) being arranged for supplying dried air to the air supply space.

The present invention provides a foam body suitable for producing a cultured meat having a good texture. The foam body of the present invention includes alginic acid and/or an alginate. The foam body has an elastic modulus M, as determined by a test, of 8×10.sup.4 Pa or less. In the test, the foam body is immersed in 22±3° C. water for 4 hours to prepare a specimen having a post-immersion thickness of 5±1 mm. Stress and strain caused in the specimen are measured by applying a load to the specimen for 5 seconds to compress the specimen in a thickness direction at 0.5 mm/sec. A stress caused in the specimen when the specimen is compressed by 10% of an initial thickness is determined, and a value obtained by dividing the stress by a corresponding strain is determined as the elastic modulus M.

The invention comprises a container apparatus and/or a method of manufacture thereof, comprising: a pressure containment housing containing both a first chemical and a second chemical; an interface configured to control dispersal of the first and second chemical out of the container; and a pressure within the container at time of manufacture exceeding ten bar. Generally, the mixture includes: (1) nitrous oxide as a gas, a liquid, a supercritical fluid, or a solid and (2) at least one of molecular hydrogen, helium, molecular nitrogen, carbon dioxide, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon in the form of a gas, liquid, supercritical fluid, or solid.

The invention relates to an apparatus for aerating a pasty product. The apparatus comprises a housing (1) with an inlet (4) for the pasty product to be aerated and an outlet (5) for the aerated product.

The apparatus comprises at least a first set of a rotor and a stator (21) and a second set of a rotor and a stator (22). The apparatus further comprises a gas injector (6) for injecting, upstream of the first set of a rotor and a stator (21), a gas into the pasty product to be aerated.

The apparatus further comprises an intermediate mixing chamber (7) provided in the housing between the first and the second sets of a rotor and a stator (21,22). A secondary product introduction means protrudes into the intermediate mixing chamber (7) so as to issue into said intermediate mixing chamber (7).

A method for aerating a pasty product is also provided.
