Title:
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISTRIBUTING AND DISPENSING CHOCOLATE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/057939
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Systems and methods for preparing and dispensing food contents, typically molten chocolate. In one aspect, a system includes a deformable fluid-tight container shell defining an internal volume and separating the internal volume from an external environment; a semi-solid content contained within the internal volume; a valve stem operationally connected to and disposed at least partially through the deformable container shell; and a valve disposed in the external environment and operationally connected to the valve stem. The semi-solid content may be a hydrophobic matrix with at least partially emulsified hydrophilic components suspended therein; the container shell may be substantially fluid-tight; the valve may be self-cleaning; the internal volume may be in fluidic communication with the external environment where the valve is open but not when the valve is closed.
