Claims40
A food product, comprising an aqueous solution containing an alginate alkali metal salt and an alcoholic beverage, and a water-insoluble, alginate-based coating encapsulating the aqueous solution, the food product being obtained by a method comprising:
- forming a first liquid comprising the alginate alkali metal salt and the alcoholic beverage;
- forming a second liquid comprising a multivalent salt;
- adding the second liquid to the first liquid;
- thereby forming a sphere comprising the water-insoluble, alginate-based coating encapsulating the alcoholic beverage, the sphere having a diameter of at least about 1.1 cm;
- wherein the first liquid comprises from about 0.5% by weight to about 5% by weight of the alginate alkali metal salt and the second liquid comprises from about 0.5% by weight to about 15% by weight of the multivalent salt.
