Gas-emitting bulk composition its manufacturing method / 2426449
Group of inventions related to a gas-emitting bulk composition for food products including particles (acceptable for culinary purposes and having an outer surface, multiple inner cavities within the particles, multiple limited size channels within the particles) and a gas acceptable for culinary purposes contained in the inner cavities under second high pressure. The limited size channels enable gas communication between the inner cavities and the outer surface. The limited size channels have a limited diameter equal to approximately less than 1 mcm. The limited diameter is effective with regard to: (1) possibility of flow of the gas acceptable for culinary purposes through the limited size channels from the outer surface to the inner cavities when the particles are brought in contact with the gas acceptable for culinary purposes under first high pressure within the range from 100 to approximately 5000 psi (689 kPa - 34.47 MPa) which results in production of particles inner cavities whereof contain the gas acceptable for culinary purposes under second high pressure; and (2) possibility of slow controllable release of the gas acceptable for culinary purposes as contained within the inner cavities under second high pressure from the inner cavities through the limited size channels when the particles are removed from the zone of contact with the gas under first high pressure. The second high pressure is lower than or equal to first high pressure but in excess of ambient pressure. When in contact with a water-based medium the particles having inner cavities containing the gas acceptable for culinary purposes as contained within the inner cavities under second high pressure quickly dissolve thus releasing the gas acceptable for culinary purposes from the inner cavities into the water-based medium to produce foam, a foamed layer or an aerated phase in the water-based medium. In accordance with the method for production of the gas-emitting bulk composition for food products the soluble bulk component (dried by way of spraying with injected gas) is brought in contact with the gas acceptable for culinary purposes at ambient temperature under first high pressure so that the gas acceptable for culinary purposes passes through the limited diameter channels from the outer surface into the inner cavities to produce particles inner cavities whereof contain the gas acceptable for culinary purposes under second high pressure. The gas acceptable for culinary purposes contained within the inner cavities under second high pressure can slowly and controllably be released from the inner cavities through limited size channels when the particles cease to contact the gas under first high pressure.
