FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention concerns a squeezable assembly for pasty products.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] It is already known on the market assembly which have a body and a piston for extruding the product contained in said body. The problem with such a solution is that the body and the piston are both rigid and represents a big amount of material for the packaging. One of the objectives of the to-day packagings is that for decreasing the price, it is necessary to decrease the weight of material used for said packagings.

[0003] The objective of the present invention is to develop an assembly, wherein the material's quantity is decreased without any drawback on the resistance of said final assembly.

[0004] There is need for providing packed frozen aerated confections wherein the package is sufficiently resistant to allow for extracting the soft frozen aerated confection portion at -180.degree. C. or lower without breaking, is easily collapsible, leaves very little product inside it after the product has been extruded therefrom and in the same time uses a very small amount of packaging material.

[0005] Inside the ice cream there are ice crystals and air bubbles dispersed in a liquid phase. Softness generally is obtained by reducing the quantity of ice formed and this is mainly obtained by selecting the type and the amount of sugars, by adding salt or alkohol in the ice cream mix. There is some limitation in the possibilities to play with the low molecular components mentioned above for taste reasons. Thus, if further increase of softness is targeted, the only possibility is to use polyols, e.g. glycerol.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0006] The present invention concerns a squeezable assembly for shelf-stable, chilled or frozen pasty products comprising

[0007] a body formed by a tube or a container presenting a bottom, lateral walls and a rim in the accordion form,

[0008] a rigid plastic cap attached to the end of the tube or the rim of the container comprising an aperture,

[0009] a cover seal to close the aperture and

[0010] a product contained in the assembly.

[0011] According to the invention, it is important that the product is a pasty product. The product contained in the assembly is a shelf-stable product, like for example a mayonnaise. Concerning chilled product, it is possible to have in the assembly of the invention a dairy product, like a yoghurt. Most preferably, according to the invention, the product is a frozen product. More particularly, it is an ice-cream and more particularly a soft ice.

[0012] More particularly, the present invention is related to a cartridge containing a frozen aerated confection with high softness at -18.degree. C. which can be extruded from the said cartridge at that temperature or lower.

[0013] The present invention thus concerns in particular a packed aerated frozen confection which comprises:

[0014] a cartridge and

[0015] a frozen aerated confection which is soft at storage temperature of -180.degree. C. or less, and the soft frozen confection comprises by weight:

[0016] 50 to 70% water,

[0017] 5 to 20% fat,

[0018] 0 to 5% polyol,

[0019] the balance being sugars, milk proteins, hydrocolloids and emulsifiers and

[0020] has an overrun of 20 to 150%.
