Abstract
A whipped frozen dietetic dessert product coneable and extrudable as conventional soft serve ice cream at the temperatures of 0.degree. F.-15.degree. F. has a low fat content, 100% overrun and a water content of 53 to 60%.
Claims14
A whipped, emulsified frozen food of low fat content
- extrudable in continuous form and coneable at temperatures at least in the range of 0.degree. to 10.degree. F. for serving by extrusion at home freezer temperatures,
- consisting essentially, in unflavored form, of a controlled emulsion of protein, water, sugars, stabilizers, and emulsifiers,
- said protein accounting for substantially 3% to 7% by weight of the product,
- said water accounting for substantially 53% to 60% by weight of the product,
- said sugars accounting for substantially 25% to 29% by weight of the product, and
- said emulsifiers and stabilizers accounting for substantially 1.1% to 2.7% by weight of the product.

A whipped, emulsified frozen low-fat dessert product
- extrudable in continuous form and coneable at temperatures at least in the range of 0.degree. to 10.degree. F. for serving by extrusion at home freezer temperatures,
- consisting essentially, in unflavored form, of a controlled emulsion of protein, water, sugars, stabilizers, and emulsifiers,
- said protein accounting for substantially 3% to 7% by weight of the product,
- said water accounting for substantially 53% to 60% by weight of the product,
- said sugars accounting for substantially 25% to 29% by weight of the product,
- said emulsifiers, with said other ingredients, controlling the emulsification of said product for attaining said extrudability and said coneability, and
- said stabilizers, with said other ingredients, providing said product with significant resistance to thermal shock, and with substantial mouth-feel, body and chewiness, and attaining said extrudability and said coneability.

A whipped, emulsified frozen low-fat dessert product
- having an overrun at least on the order of 100%, and extrudable in continuous form and coneable at temperatures at least in the range of 0.degree. to 10.degree. F. for serving by extrusion at home freezer temperatures,
- consisting essentially, in unflavored form, of a controlled emulsion of protein, water, sugars, stabilizers, and emulsifiers,
- said protein being present in an amount from substantially 3% to 7% by weight of the product,
- said water being present in an amount from substantially 53% to 60% by weight of the product,
- said sugars being present in an amount from substantially 25% to 29% by weight of the product,
- said emulsifiers including mono- and/or diglycerides and being present in an amount from substantially 0.4% to 1.2% by weight of the product and effective to control the emulsification of said product and to provide said extrudability and coneability of said product, and
- said stabilizers including from about 0.2% to 0.5% by weight of the product of gelling agents, and being present in an amount effective to provide said product with significant resistance to thermal shocks and to provide substantial mouth-feel, body and chewiness.
