The method of adding an antifreeze protein to an ice confection to restrict the flow of flavor or color ions or molecules present as either solutes or a dispersion, wherein the ice confection contains no protein other than the antifreeze protein.
A frozen dessert novelty which is a water ice molded confection product that includes a thin translucent shell and a multi-colored core which is encased into the shell and which is visible in the product before and during consumption, and a process for preparing it. The product is mounted on a stick to facilitate handling and eating.
Use of a polypeptide or protein with amino acid sequence corresponding substantially to AFP-type III HPLC 12 as additive in a product for improvement of said product, said improvement residing in improved properties of modification of ice crystal growth processes influencing size and shape characteristics of ice in particular in regrowth thereby e.g. minimizing potential freezing damage e.g. by preventing or inhibiting ice recrystallization of the product upon freezing, said use occurring in a manner known per se for anti freeze peptides to obtain higher specific modification activity in particular antifreeze activity than obtainable with the same amount of Winter Flounder AFP.
