Multi-components capsule for producing a cooled edible product

A capsule containing substances for the preparation of a cooled food product by a food-processing appliance, the capsule containing at least one first substance having a first phase transition temperature and at least one second substance having a second phase transition temperature,

• the capsule being configured to permit introduction of the first and second substances in a sequence one after the other into a processing chamber of the food processing appliance,
• the capsule having an internal space divided into at least one first compartment accommodating the first substance and at least one second compartment accommodating said second substance,
• the first and second compartments being configured to permit selective access thereto according to the process step or recipe for preparing the cooled food product,
• the first and second substances being selected to form, at said respective first and second transition temperatures, at least two distinct components in the cooled food product, one of the first and second substances being selected to form a cooled edible continuous phase of the food product and the other of the first and second substances being a liquid that is selected to form a semi-solid, viscous or solid additive phase distributed in the continuous phase;
• such that, in use by the food processing appliance configured for utilizing the capsule, the first and second substances are introduced from the capsule into a cooled processing chamber of the appliance one after the other, such that the first and second substances undergo at least partial phase transition at said first and said second phase transition temperature, respectively, during processing to produce said cooled food product to obtain a cooled edible product having two distinct phases.
