Abstract

In order to overcome problems that earlier apparatus, systems and methods have experienced, an apparatus (10, 100) for treating a flowable food product (26; 85), in particular being a substance selected from liquid comestibles, sauces, and liquid marinates, is proposed, said apparatus (10, 100) comprising: - a container (14, 114) constructed from a first material selected from the group consisting of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), plastic, and PTFE and plastic, in particular further comprising stainless steel; - an injection chamber (18, 118) arranged within the container (14, 114), and including an inlet (20, 220) and an outlet (22, 222) in fluid communication with the injection chamber (18, 118); and - at least one nozzle (42, 142) constructed from a second material selected from the group consisting of PTFE, plastic, and PTFE and plastic, the at least one nozzle (42, 142) including -- a first end in fluid communication with a source of cryogen (28), in particular being a substance selected from the group consisting of liquid nitrogen (LIN), gaseous nitrogen (N 2 ), liquid carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), and gaseous carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), and -- a second end in fluid communication with the injection chamber (18, 118) for providing the cryogen (28) to the injection chamber (18, 118). A related system (12; 71) and a related method for treating a flowable food product (26; 85) are also proposed.
