Embodiment Construction

[0060] figure 1 A first embodiment of a package 1 according to the invention is shown. Package 1 comprises a reservoir 10 and a mixing element or column 30 . The reservoir 10 is designed to contain dilutable liquid food or liquid ingredients for food suitable for human consumption. The pack can eg be filled with a portion of concentrated milk, concentrated fruit juice or concentrated bouillon.

[0061] The reservoir 10 is preferably filled approximately 2 / 3 full through the opening formed on the upper side of the package 1 by the circumferential wall. The reservoir 10 is then closed by a reservoir seal 13 .

[0062] The reservoir seal 13 is preferably a suitable film, for example a plastic film and / or a metal foil (possibly multi-layered).

[0063] The reservoir seal is preferably slightly elastic, eg by using a PE film. The sealing film 13 is fixed on the upper edge of the peripheral wall of the package 1, preferably by welding. On the closed package, the reservoir seal...

Abstract

A package for a portion of liquid foodstuff dilutable with a diluent, which package comprises a reservoir (10) for containing a portion of liquid foodstuff dilutable with a diluent, which reservoir has a filling aperture, a reservoir seal (13) for closing the reservoir, a mixing element (30) for mixing the dilutable liquid foodstuff with the diluent, which mixing element comprises a mixing chamber (34), which mixing chamber has an outflow aperture (36) for dispensing liquid foodstuff diluted with the diluent, a liquid passage for feeding dilutable liquid foodstuff from the reservoir to the mixing chamber, a feed channel (31) for feeding diluent to the mixing chamber, which feed channel has a first portion (32) and a second portion (33), the second portion having an outflow aperture which opens into the mixing chamber, and the cross section of the second portion being smaller than the cross section of the first portion and the cross section of the mixing chamber to such an extent that when diluent is fed to the mixing chamber a venturi effect occurs in the mixing chamber.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to the preparation of food products suitable for human consumption. In a preferred embodiment, the invention relates to the preparation of beverages or beverage components, in particular milk froth. The invention is particularly suitable for preparing milk froth for cappuccinos. Background technique [0002] The present invention uses a package filled with a portion of a dilutable liquid food or liquid ingredient to be mixed with a base liquid, the package preferably being disposable. [0003] The invention also proposes a device that can be used in combination with the package. [0004] Disposable packages having reservoirs filled with a portion of dilutable liquid food or liquid ingredients are known. In known embodiments, a separate mixing element provided with a mixing chamber is fixed on a plastic reservoir. By creating a Venturi effect, a vacuum is created in the mixing chamber so that the dilutable liquid food or liqui...
