The present invention relates generally to the field of aerated fat-based confectionery material. One aspect of the invention provides an aerated fat-based confectionery material 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 fat-based confectionery material comprises gas bubbles having at least 50% of their surface occupied by crystals, the crystals comprising a glyceride selected from the group consisting of monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, esters of monoglycerides, esters of diglycerides and combinations of these. Further aspects of the invention are a confectionery product comprising an aerated fat-based confectionery material and a process for forming an aerated fat-based confectionery material.

Disclosed is a process in which a viscous initial product having both a temperature of between 5° C. and 70° C. and a viscosity greater than 100 mPa.Math.s is provided, —by way of a pump provided upstream of at least one aerator, the viscous initial product is transferred as it is to the at least one aerator in which the viscous initial product is mixed with a gas, injected into the aerator, so as to obtain a liquid foam continuously exiting the aerator, and—the liquid foam continuously exiting the at least one aerator is continuously pushed into the inlet of a treatment device which continuously divides and then dries this liquid foam so as to obtain a powdered porous product which has a solids content greater than 90%.

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.

A process of preparing a marshmallow piece includes preparing a pre-cook syrup batch of a mixture including a low viscosity saccharidic composition, humectant, and water as a pre-cook syrup batch. The low viscosity saccharidic composition includes at least two low viscosity saccharidic components and at least one polysaccharide. The process also includes cooking the pre-cook syrup batch to form a cooked syrup composition having a predetermined moisture content, combining the cooked syrup composition with a gelatin solution and optionally at least one flavoring to form a pre-whip marshmallow composition, whipping the pre-whip marshmallow composition to form a whipped marshmallow composition having a predetermined density, and forming and setting up a formed marshmallow composition to form the marshmallow piece. The marshmallow has a water activity in the range of between 0.40 and 0.45. A comestible includes the marshmallow and at least one dry portion having a crunchy texture.
