Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
51 words
A foamable alcoholic product comprising an emulsified mixture of effective amounts of a calcium source, a fat, protein, an aqueous alcohol composition, and a foam stabilizing agent selected from the group consisting of polyphosphates, lactates and mixtures thereof, whereby the emulsified mixture may be foamed to produce a foamed alcoholic product.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
51 words
A foamable alcoholic product comprising an emulsified mixture of effective amounts of a calcium source, a fat, protein, an aqueous alcohol composition, and a foam stabilizing agent selected from the group consisting of polyphosphates, lactates and mixtures thereof, whereby the emulsified mixture may be foamed to produce a foamed alcoholic product.
