A cream composition comprising lipid, optionally protein, one or more emulsifiers, and one or more thickeners or stabilisers, and having acceptable properties after temperature cycling, including acceptable composition: serum phase viscosity, overrun, change in apparent viscosity, and change in fat globule volume weighted mean diameter (D[4,3]).

The objective of the present invention is to provide a composition used for producing a whipped cream which can have improved water separation while maintaining moderate overrun, and which further can stably retain a state of cream. The objective is achieved by an oil-in-water type composition for whipped cream, comprising hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, an oil, a non-fat milk solid and water, wherein a ratio of interfacial elastic modulus to interfacial viscous modulus of the hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is equal to or higher than 2.0 when measured with a tensiometer at 25 C. using a 0.2% by mass aqueous solution; and the like.

Methods and apparatuses for creating and dispensing a dairy-based sparkling beverage are disclosed. Embodiments include creating a beverage mix comprised at least in part of milk and cream, sugar, and a flavor base. The beverage mix is carbonated, and placed into a pressurized container. In some embodiments, the beverage mix is nitrogenated and delivered from a tap. In other embodiments, the beverage mix is placed into individual consumer packages, which are pressurized with carbon dioxide. In still other embodiments, the individual consumer packages may further be pressurized with nitrogen.

The invention comprises an apparatus and/or a method of use thereof for dispensing whipped cream, comprising: a profi including a pressure containment housing, a first receiving port integrated into the pressure containment housing, a dispensing port integrated into the pressure containment housing, and at least a first pressure cartridge containing at least a liquid form of nitrous oxide, where the pressure cartridge includes a pressure gas delivery port and where a connection between the receiving port and the pressure gas delivery port form: (1) a section of a pressure containment unit encompassing contents of the pressure containment housing and the pressure cartridge and (2) an open path between the pressure containment housing and the pressure cartridge.

The invention relates to a device for dosing into a container (2) a pasty food product including solid pieces and a sauce. The device comprises an metering nozzle (1) comprising a main outlet to which the pasty food product with solid pieces is provided by a first channel (13) of the nozzle (1), and at least two peripheral outlets situated at a periphery of the main outlet to which the sauce is provided by corresponding second channels (14). The device comprises a support (3) for holding a container (2) to be filled from the nozzle (1), and is configured so that the metering nozzle moves, relative to the support (3), following a path around a central axis of said support. A corresponding system and a method are also provided.
