ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to food of as little caloric value as desired made into spreadable gels, ideally transparent for certain usages and opaque for others, similar in consistency to mayonnaise or butter at room temperature. The taste release of such gels is superior to that of other products served set or molded. Such is true because the more divided or fractioned a food is, the more surface area available with which the taste buds of the tongue may interact. Fruit spreads may thus be produced using less sugar or concentrate than those formulated with either pectin or gelatin. The gels are made pipeable by fractioning set gels using at least a 325 mesh sieve. After fractioning the gel is remixed producing a pipeable gel.
The invention relates to a gelled form or non-beverage form of ethyl alcohol and to the method for making gelled ethyl alcohol and to the products formed from such gelled alcohol. The method, involves the addition of or the mixing of ethyl alcohol beverage products with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) having a degree of substitution of 7. Addition of carrageenan further increased the viscosity of the product to the degree that the product becomes a set gel and is thus moldable. Gels formed using the CMC can further be made into set gels with the addition of an aluminum salt such as basic aluminum acetate (BAA) or aluminum formoacetate (AFA). Thus the non-beverage form of the alcoholic beverage product, with the addition of aluminum salt, can be made in the form of a set gel. Upon fractioning of a firm/set gel, by sieving through a fine mesh sieve, one obtains a pipeable gel i.e., one which can be dispensed through a pipe of the type used in cake decorating.
