Natural food and beverage foaming are increasingly used these days to maintain the uniform dispersion of gases in some aerated foods. Foam is produced by trapping gas bubbles and is available in solid or liquid form. These bubbles are surrounded and packed as a gas that ultimately produces the general foam structure in food and beverages. The main components of the foam are proteins, water and fat. These foaming agents are finding usage in frozen and regular carbonated drinks, syrups, beer, and juices.
