A confectionery product is provided. The product includes a hollow body formed by at least one first material. Present on the outer surface itself of the product is a second material, different from said first material, which reproduces a decorative element. The hollow body comprises a first outer layer, formed by the first material and at least one second layer, formed by the second material, which is set internally, on the first layer. The first layer has an opening that allows a portion of the second layer to emerge on the outer surface, so as to form the decorative element. The first outer layer and the portion of the second layer together define the outer surface. The second layer coats the inner side of the first layer at least partially and at a position away from the opening.

The present invention relates generally to the field of foams. One aspect of the invention provides a foam having a continuous lipid phase and a porosity of between 1 and 80% wherein, at a temperature at which the lipid phase has a solid lipid content between 0.1 and 80% the foam comprises gas bubbles having at least 50% of their surface occupied by crystals comprising triglycerides. Further aspects of the invention are a product comprising a foam and a process for forming a foam.

Provided is an edible material having an exceptional sweetness-enhancing effect. This oxidized product of a palm-based oil and fat has a total content of α-carotene and β-carotene of 50 mass ppm or more and 2000 mass ppm or less, and a peroxide value of the oxidized product of 3 or more and 250 or less.

A formulated oral prebiotic edible composition includes a free amino acid containing ingredient comprising L-arginine, the L-arginine comprising free individual molecules of L-arginine, the free individual molecules of L-arginine L present at a concentration of greater than about 0.1 weight percent, a carrier, and a sugar comprising at least one of a monosaccharide and disaccharide, at least two distinct live lactic acid probiotics, wherein one is a lactic acid producing bacterium, and one is a lactic acid fermenting bacterium, wherein the composition is in configuration suitable to be maintained substantively dissolved within the oral cavity, and wherein the composition is in an effective amount to selectively promote stimulation of a first oral microbiota to produce an excretion product, and wherein a second oral microbiota metabolizes the excretion product to treat the respiratory allergic condition and/or an oral and/or sinus infection.

A hydrous oily food having a moisture content of 3% by mass or more and 20% by mass or less, and containing a water-based continuous phase and an oil-based continuous phase.
