An effervescent beverage containing a grain degradation product which contains creamy and tasty foam having a refreshing texture and a new texture of a prolonged creamy-foam retention is formed on the effervescent beverage upon drinking, a method for dispensing and a dispenser of such effervescent beverage are disclosed. According to the present invention, there is provided a method for dispensing the effervescent beverage containing a grain degradation product by cooling the effervescent beverage and pouring it into a vessel to serve, wherein foam having a snow-like refreshing texture and a new texture of a prolonged creamy-foam retention is formed on the effervescent beverage, said method comprising: forming a slurry containing the extract-frozen microparticles by cooling and stirring the effervescent beverage, preparing the frozen foam of the effervescent beverage containing the extract-frozen microparticles and fine bubbles by cooling and stirring the slurry and incorporating the outside gas into the slurry, and supplying the prepared frozen foam of the effervescent beverage to the effervescent beverage poured into a vessel as a foam component.

A food dispensing system (1) including a graphite-based compound (6) that increases the heat transfer between a food storage compartment (3) and adjacent pipes (4), which may contain a propylene glycol fluid, for cooling the food product stored within the storage compartment (3). To assist with the production of a frozen food product, the system (1) may include a freezing chamber (16) adjoined via graphite-based compound (6) to pipes (23) adapted to freeze the food product. A heating chamber (26) may also be adjoined via graphite-based compound (6) to piping (28) adapted to heat the food product stored within the heating chamber (26). A controller (31) may adjust the temperature of the fluids within the pipes (4, 23, 28) to store the food products at desired temperatures.

Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and apparatuses for producing frozen comestible products with entrained gas. The systems and apparatuses may function for long periods of time without cleaning. The systems and apparatuses may be used in producing soft-serve products entrained with a gas including soft-serve ice cream, soft-serve frozen yogurt, frozen pureed fruit, sorbet, soft-serve frozen custard, and other foods capable of being made into soft-serve products. An overrun control module, which may include a gas regulator or a pressure switch, may regulate quantities of a freezable comestible mixture and a compressed gas that pass through to an accumulator, where the gas becomes entrained in (e.g., dissolves in or becomes suspended in) the freezable comestible mixture. The freezable comestible mixture entrained with a gas may pass to the freezing chamber, which produces a frozen comestible product entrained with a gas. The system may be maintained at a state of overpressurization to reduce or eliminate environmental air and environmental contaminants from entering the system, which may increase the amount of time between cleanings.

The invention relates to a containerization system for dispensing a foamable food product comprising a single chamber pressure-resistant container comprising a base, a sidewall, and a nozzle, a food product composition comprising a food product and water, and a propellant. The invention is also directed to a process wherein the food product composition and propellant are combined to form a foamable mixture and the foamable mixture is disposed within a container such that the mixture expands in volume when it is released from the container, forming a foamed food product.

A frozen food appliance and related method of making a frozen food product. A rotational drive assembly configured in an axial alignment using a direct drive to produce rotational movement of a blade element to contact a frozen food precursor in a frozen food container associated with the frozen food appliance where the rotational drive assembly omits rotational speed modifying gears and transmissions positioned between a drive motor and the blade element. In another aspect, a rotational drive assembly may be kept in axial alignment with a frozen food container via a multi portioned container mount having a float connector.

A machine for making food products including: at least a first container containing a liquid or semi-liquid base product to be processed therein; a stirrer mounted inside the first container; thermal treatment means operatively associated with the first container; a dispenser connected to the first container to allow the product to be extracted from the first container; at least one device for generating gas micro bubbles or nano bubbles, operatively configured to release gas micro bubbles or nano bubbles into the mixture being processed in the machine; a control and drive unit connected to the device for generating gas micro bubbles or nano bubbles in order to control and drive it.
