The invention relates to alcohol-containing food products, in particular to ice-cream-type products and other soft or semi-soft solid food products containing high levels of alcohol, and improved processes for their preparation. More specifically, embodiments of the invention provide improved processes for providing alcoholic food products that retain a creamy texture and favorable homogeneity, stability and viscosity over a wide range of temperatures commonly used during storage and serving. The invention further provides alcohol-containing food products characterized by particularly advantageous physical properties, nutritional values and palatability.

A method for manufacturing a plant fermented product using a plant fermented broth, includes: mixing 5 to 30 parts by weight of a first plant material, 100 parts by weight of water, 1 to 10 parts by weight of sugar, and 0.05 to 1 part by weight of lactic acid bacteria, and fermenting the resulting mixture at room temperature in a range of 5 to 25° C. for 30 days to 6 months so that the material becomes acidic at pH 4 or less to obtain a first fermented broth; mixing 5 to 30 parts by weight of a second plant material, which is the same as or different from the first plant material, 100 parts by weight of water, 1 to 10 parts by weight of sugar, and 1 to 10 parts by weight of the first fermented broth, and fermenting the resulting mixture d product.

The invention relates to compositions and methods for stabilizing and enhancing the viscosity of semisolid compositions, and to the production of stabilized alcohol-containing semisolid food products. More specifically, embodiments of the invention relate to novel stabilizers for semisolid compositions, to alcohol-containing semisolid food compositions comprising them, and to processes for the preparation and use thereof. Further, the invention in embodiments thereof provides non-liquid food products containing a high alcohol content, which are stable at room temperature and do not necessitate the use of gelling agents or other chemical stabilizers.
