Carbonated fruit
A new technology that makes fruit pieces ‘fizzy’ could provide food makers with new opportunities and encourage children to eat up their ‘5 a day’, report food scientists in the US behind the innovative technology that could overspill into dairy products and canned foods, reports Lindsey Partos.
Three years in development, scientists have designed a method to carbonate under pressure a wide range of fruit that leaves the consumer with a ‘fizzy’ eating impression.
” We see great potential in this application and believe the technology can be used to elevate the food sensory experience for consumers. As such we’re currently working on applying the technology to vegetables – tomatoes, celery, cucumber – with the aim to enhance the flavours for salad and vegetable dishes,” Dr. Qingyue Ling, from the Food Innovation Center (FIC) at Oregon State University and lead researcher on the project told FoodNavigator.com. “The carbon dioxide brings no extra flavour, but it can enhance flavour profiles in a variety of food products.”
Whole or freshly cut fruit is placed in a pressurised chamber at a certain temperature – depending on the variety of the fruit – for ½ hour to two hours where it becomes carbonated through contact with carbon dioxide.
