    摘要: The invention relates to a process for producing seed crystal suspensions based on melted fat. In particular, the invention describes a process for generating stable microdisperse cocoa butter crystal suspensions which have a high βVI modification share and using the seed suspensions in the seed crystallization of fat-based suspensions containing disperse solid particles such as chocolate, chocolate-like masses, or the like. The invention also describes an apparatus for carrying out the process.

    摘要: The present invention discloses improved methods of making chocolates utilizing fast and aggressive cooling to form a set chocolate, chocolate products produced using same and cooling systems and apparatuses for performing same. The resultant rapidly cooled chocolate has many improved properties including enhanced gloss, improved bloom resistance and hardness. Moreover, the rapid cooling allows for the improved retention of fine detail and/or decoration on the chocolate product. The rapid cooling can be achieved without the use of chilled plungers or cold molds, but instead utilizes increased convective heat transfer coefficients and/or lower operating temperatures. The melted chocolate composition set by the rapid cooling can be of conventional temper, low temper or ultra-low temper chocolate and still result in a stable finished chocolate product allowing for the use of lower fat content formulations. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method of using a controlled humidity environment in a rewarm zone after the cooling zone to form a thermally robust chocolate product having enhanced resistance to heat abuse, yet which still has good gloss.

    摘要: There are described freeze-dried food products which have porous structure with fine texture than those obtained by conventional processes to give smooth melting in mouth and a process for preparing the freeze-dried food products. According to the process, raw materials for the food are made into a form of aqueous solution or paste, emulsified, made into semi-frozen state by cooling the emulsion, freeze-dried by further cooling in a mold, and then subjected to freeze-drying treatment.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to novel oil blends suitable for use in edible products. More specifically, the invention is directed to oil blends including palm kernel oil, hydrogenated palm kernel oil, palm kernel stearin and hydrogenated palm kernel stearin, and at least one seeding agent, optionally with hydrogenated palm kernel oil, hydrogenated coconut oil, coconut oil, palm kernel oil, or a mixture thereof. The oil blend compositions of the present invention have a flavor release and texture properties similar to those of cocoa butter. They are particularly useful as cocoa butter substitutes in edible food products such as confectionery products and chocolate alternative compositions. Also disclosed are edible food products, such as confectionery products and chocolate alternative compositions, made from these oil blends.

    摘要: The amount of a fat ingredient employed to produce a chocolate product is reduced by preparing the chocolate product with limonene as an ingredient so that a reduced-fat product is obtained, particularly for preparing a product having a fat content of from, by weight based upon a total product weight, of from 16% to 25%. An oil containing the limonene, particularly a deodorized oil, may be employed for providing the limonene.
