Disclosed is a frozen confection comprising freezing point depressants in an amount of from 25 to 35% by weight of the frozen confection, wherein the number average molecular weight <M>.sub.n of the freezing point depressants is from 200 to 250 g mol.sup.−1, and wherein the freezing point depressants comprise erythritol in an amount of from 0.25 to 5 7% by weight of the frozen confection.

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a frozen confection comprising providing a frozen confection to be coated, providing a liquid coating composition which comprises less than 25% of saturated fatty acids and which solidifies in a two-step crystallization at a temperature of −15° C., at least partly coating the frozen confection, letting the coating composition perform a first crystallization event, and letting the at least partly coated frozen confection perform a second crystallization event. The invention also relates to a at least partly coated frozen confection obtained by this method of manufacturing.

Disclosed is a process for manufacturing a premix for a frozen confection, the process comprising the steps of: (i) forming an oil-in-water emulsion comprising fat in an amount of at least 45% by weight of the emulsion; (ii) providing an adjunct composition comprising saccharides, non-saccharide sweetener, protein or a combination thereof; (iii) providing an aqueous liquid; and (iv) combining the emulsion, adjunct composition and aqueous liquid.

A method for generating a non-dairy base mixture includes: mixing an amount of salt and an amount of calcium into a volume of water to generate a first mixture; mixing an amount of starches, an amount of plant-extracted proteins, and an amount of stabilizing agents into the first mixture to form a second mixture, the amount of plant-extracted proteins defining a protein ratio corresponding to a target functionality and a target flavor profile; during a blending period, regulating temperature of the second mixture within a first temperature range and blending a volume of oil into the second mixture to form an emulsion; pasteurizing the emulsion at temperatures within a second temperature range and for a target duration; and homogenizing the emulsion at temperatures within a third temperature range to form the non-dairy base mixture configured to form a consumable, non-dairy product exhibiting the target functionality and the target flavor profile.

Emulsions and concentrates are provided. The concentrates include oat oil, at least one polyol and/or native or modified carbohydrate, and at least one benefit agent. The oat oil includes 8 wt % or more of ceramides and glycolipids.

A method of applying thin layers of a peanut butter and a molten chocolate onto a frozen food product, in some instances fruit, that is at temperatures below 0° C. in such a way that reduces free oil migration out of the peanut butter and prevents discoloration and brittleness of the applied chocolate.

Lactose-free ice cream compositions, and methods for making lactose-free ice cream, are provided herein.

A composition and method for supplementing food, nutrition, and diet systems with omega-6 to omega-3 balanced oils comprising a synergistic blend of at least two oils. The composition further comprises a synergistic blend of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids as a means to further increase the nutritional value. The composition provides an effective increase in therapeutic and pharmacological properties in nutrition, and retards the rate of oxidation thereof.

A frozen confection comprising 20 wt % to 40 wt % freezing point depressants having a number average molecular weight of 200 g mol−1 to 275 g mol−1; and 0.5 wt % to 10 wt % protein comprising pulse protein and milk protein in a weight ratio of 1:2 to 1:6.

Provided is a water-in-oil-type emulsion including a fat-free cacao solid material in an amount of 8.5 to 25% by weight, cacao mass and cocoa each having a pH value of 6.8 or less in a total amount of 10 to 40% by weight, an oil or fat in an amount of 30 to 55% by weight, water in an amount of 5 to 26% by weight, and at least one emulsifying agent selected from lecithin and a polyglycerol condensed ricinolate in a total amount of 1 to 2.5% by weight, whereby it becomes possible to provide a water-containing chocolate product which remains unchanged with respect to the physical properties thereof even when the water-containing chocolate product undergoes a sterilization treatment that is essential for the delivery thereof.
