Provided are food products that are derived from non-animal sources that have one or more of the following: color, taste, nutritional content, and other qualities similar to those of dairy products and/or other types of food products. Also provided are processes for production of such dairy-like food products and/or other types of food product analogs.

Provided is a high-frequency thawing apparatus that requires no setting of a thawing time and provides high precision in thawing finishing. The high-frequency thawing apparatus includes the following: a heating chamber; upper and lower electrodes with a to-be thawed object interposed therebetween, the upper and lower electrodes being disposed in parallel to each other in the heating chamber a high-frequency power source and matching circuit that applies a high-frequency voltage between the upper and lower electrodes; a power detecting circuit that detects the reflective power of the applied high-frequency voltage; and a controller that determines thawing completion, by estimating the progress status of the to-be thawed object on the basis of how a detected signal detected by the power detecting circuit has changed since thawing was started, the controller controlling the high-frequency power source on the basis of a determination.

A machine for producing and dispensing liquid and semi-liquid consumer food products such as ice creams, whipped cream, yogurt and the like comprises a container for a basic product of the consumer food product, a feed and treatment circuit for the basic product, comprising a feed pump, dispensing means positioned at an outfeed end of the feed and treatment circuit, and a device for checking the bacterial load of the product during production/dispensing; an electronic control unit controlling and regulating the various steps for measuring the bacterial load.
