Description

The present invention relates to a method for producing consumable fitness ice cream. The invention further relates to such fitness ice cream. In addition, the invention relates to the use of a protein supplement in a consumable fitness ice cream and a consumable fitness ice cream that is obtainable through the use of a protein supplement.

Consumable fitness products serve to improve the fitness state and / or the improved regeneration of a consumer. Such available fitness products include, for example, fitness bars containing certain fitness-enhancing and / or regeneration-stimulating ingredients, such as proteins. Also known are protein powder, which are mixed with a liquid and then drunk as a drink. The consumers of such fitness products demand an increased variety of products. In addition, it is desirable to increase the incentive to consume such fitness products.

The present invention therefore has the object of providing improved or at least other embodiments for such a fitness product and its production, which have a greater diversity and / or increase the motivation of a consumer to consume the product.

This object is achieved by the subjects of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

The present invention is based on the general idea to provide a consumable fitness ice cream that is provided with a protein supplement. The fitness ice cream can therefore also be referred to as protein ice, which improves the fitness of a consumer and / or the regeneration of the consumer, in particular the muscle building or the recovery of the musculature. Thus, a new fitness product, namely the fitness ice, is provided, so that an overall greater diversity of the product range of fitness products is achieved. In addition, especially due to the popularity of consumable ice, the motivation for the consumer is increased to consume the fitness ice.

In the method according to the invention for producing the consumable fitness ice, first of all a base for the fitness ice is provided and subsequently a protein-containing protein supplement is added to the base. Subsequently, a mixture of the base and the protein additive is added to a mixture, wherein the mixture is then processed into the consumable fitness ice cream.

The main function of protein supplementation is the provision of proteins. Thus, adjuncts that incidentally contain or provide low levels of proteins preferably do not belong to such protein supplements.

The base is basically any that is suitable for the fitness ice. The base may in particular be water-containing and / or milk-containing. It is also conceivable that the base is quarkhaltig and / or yoghurthaltig. That is, the base may be milk, with the milk preferably having 1.5% or less fat. The base can also be water. The base may also be yoghurt or quark. Also conceivable are any combinations of these ingredients. That is, the base is a milk-water mixture, a milk-curd mixture, a milk-yogurt mixture, a milk-curd-water mixture, a milk-yogurt-water mixture, a milk-water Quark yoghurt mixture and the like can be.

As a protein additive is preferably a Whey protein, ie in particular whey or whey protein, are used. The protein additive may also be vegetable, in particular have vegetable proteins or be such a vegetable protein. In particular, a soy protein and / or soy protein isolate is used. It is also conceivable that the protein additive comprises casein protein and / or isolate protein and / or hydrolyzed protein or is such a protein. Of course, any mixtures of these proteins are possible.

It is conceivable to make the fitness ice cream lactose-free and / or gluten-free. Thus, the fitness ice cream is consumable especially for lactose intolerant consumers without additional funds. The same applies to consumers with a gluten intolerance.

In preferred embodiments, the base and added protein mixture is emulsified into the fitness ice before processing. This is done in particular by the addition of an emulsifier, in particular food nitrogen. The emulsification of the mixture leads in particular to an improved distribution of the base and the protein addition in the mixture. The duration of the emulsification depends on the protein additive used and / or the base used and can be between two and ten minutes.

It is also conceivable, the mixture before processing into fitness ice cream, especially before emulsifying, a dietary supplement to add and thus produce a composition. Dietary supplements include vitamins, and minerals. Examples of dietary supplements are citrulline and malate salt, beta-alanine and L-histidine, L-carnitine, creatine, calcium, magnesium, green tea extract, manganese, molybdenum, sodium, phosphorus, zinc, boron, copper, pantothenic acid, niacin, vitamin D3 , Vitamin A, Carotenes.

Vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B5, vitamin D, thiamine, vitamin B3, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folic acid, biotin, vitamin C, vitamin E, riboflavin, vitamin K.

Also, amino acids are among such dietary supplements. Examples of these are essential amino acids such as L-isoleucine, L-leucine, L-valine, L-lysine, L-methionine, L-phenylalanine, L-threonine and L-tryptophan. Semi-essential amino acids such as arginine, asparagine, cysteine, glutamine, glycine, proline and tyrosine also belong to such dietary supplements. In addition, non-essential amino acids such as L-alanine, L-arginine, L-asparagine, L-cysteine, L-glycine, L-histidine, L-serine and L-tyrosine are among the dietary supplements.

Of course, the dietary supplement may also be or have several of the said constituents.

The mixture or the composition is, preferably after emulsification, processed into fitness ice cream. Before being processed into fitness ice cream and in particular before emulsifying, the constituents, that is to say the mixture or the composition, are advantageously mixed in such a way that a uniform distribution of the constituents results.

The processing to the fitness ice cream can be done by an ice cream machine. This means that the mixture or the composition, in particular after emulsification, is processed by means of an ice machine into consumable fitness ice cream.

It is also conceivable to freeze the mixture or the composition, in particular after emulsification, to a mass and then to comminute this mass into ice particles which are consumable. The crushing of the ice particles is preferably such that they are drinkable and thus consumable.

Be advantageous to variants in which the mixture, the composition or the mass UHT and thus made particularly durable longer.

In one of the manufacturing phases, a flavor enhancer may be used to enhance the taste of the fitness ice.

It is also conceivable to add chocolate or at least one fruit in order to give the fitness ice cream an improved taste.

It should be understood that in addition to the method of making the fitness ice, the fitness ice as such is included in the scope of this invention.

It should be understood that the use of such protein supplementation in consumable fitness ice cream is also within the scope of this invention. Also, a consumable fitness ice cream obtainable through the use of a protein supplement is within the scope of this invention.

Other important features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims, from the drawing and from the associated description of the figures with reference to the drawing.

It is understood that the features mentioned above and those yet to be explained below can be used not only in the particular combination given, but also in other combinations or in isolation, without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Corresponding 1 is used to produce consumable fitness ice cream first in a first process step 1 provided a base for the fitness ice cream. The base contains milk, preferably milk with 1.5% fat or less, water, quark, yogurt or a mixture of these ingredients. In a second process step 2 a protein supplement or protein supplement is added to the base to form a mixture. The protein supplement may contain or correspond to whey protein, soy protein, vegan or vegetable protein, casein protein, isolate protein, hydrolyzed protein or a mixture of these proteins. Subsequently, a third process step 3 at least one dietary supplement is added to the mixture of base and protein supplement. The dietary supplement may contain vitamins, in particular vitamin B6, minerals, in particular calcium and / or magnesium, amino acids, in particular branched-chain amino acid, also called BCAA's, for example L-leucine, L-isoleucine, valine, L-glutamine, L-lomintine, L-creatine , L-tyrosine, or any mixture of these ingredients or correspond. In an optional fourth process step 4 a food color is added to the composition of the mixture and the dietary supplement to achieve a corresponding color of the fitness ice to be prepared. In a subsequent fifth process step 5 the composition of the mixture and the dietary supplement, optionally mixed with the food color, so mixed in particular. Blending may vary depending on the property and proportions of the ingredients. In particular, the duration of the mixing is between 2 and 10 minutes. In a subsequent sixth method step 6 the blended composition is emulsified. For this purpose, an emulsifier, in particular food nitrogen, is used. The duration of the emulsification depends on the constituents of the composition and / or their proportions.

Subsequently, processing of the emulsified, optionally mixed with the food coloring composition, the consumable fitness ice cream. This can be done in a first variant, as a procedural step 7a can be viewed, done with the help of an ice cream maker. Alternatively, this can be done in one process step 7b , By freezing the possibly with the food coloring composition put into a mass and then crushing the mass in ice particles. The crushing takes place in such a way that the resulting ice particles are drinkable. For this purpose, the ice particles preferably have sizes of not more than 1 to 2 mm in diameter or in the diagonal.

The fitness ice thus produced can in a subsequent, optional eighth process step 8th , in particular preserved by the addition of preservatives. In an optional ninth process step 9 a packaging of the consumable fitness ice, in particular in consumable and / or salable portions, take place.

It should be understood that in addition to the above-described method of manufacturing the fitness ice, such fitness ice made is also included in the scope of this invention. Further, it is to be understood that the use of such a protein supplement in edible fitness ice cream as well as such consumable fitness ice cream obtainable through the use of such protein supplement also belongs to the scope of this invention.
