Description
Aerated foods involve incorporating air into a liquid or semi-liquid ingredient using a siphon or foam gun, creating a stable foam through emulsification.
Technical
The process relies on the principle of emulsification, where two or more liquids that don't normally mix are combined, creating a stable foam. The ideal temperature for aerating foods is between 4°C and 10°C, and the time it takes to aerate foods can vary depending on the ingredient and the desired consistency, but generally, it takes around 10-30 seconds to create a stable foam.
