摘要： A fountain apparatus for use with a flowable food media includes a recipient for receiving the food media therein, an elongated post and a conveyor mechanism. The post defines first and second ends thereof and a passageway extending longitudinally there between. The first end mounts on the recipient so that the passageway is in fluid communication therewith. The post has a plurality of post longitudinal sections that extend in an end-to-end relationship relative to one another and releasably and abuttingly support one another. The conveyor mechanism operatively connects to the post for conveying the food media from the first end toward the second end through the passageway. At least one tier mounts on one of the post sections.

摘要： A fountain for heating and distributing fluidic material is manufactured using various processes and materials. In one embodiment, the fountain includes a heating element encased in an enclosure. A basin containing a medium, such as chocolate, is removably mounted to the enclosure so that the basin is heated by contact with the enclosure. Additionally, an auger having a spiral flight rotates and lifts the melted chocolate upward to a top end of a cylinder that houses the auger. One or more tiers may be mounted, using various locking mechanisms, onto the cylinder to divert flow of the medium. A smaller chocolate fountain that may advantageously be more suitable for home use is also described herein.

摘要： A heat-resistant chocolate or chocolate-like composition is prepared by mixing a polyol, such as sorbitol or glycerine, with a flowable chocolate or chocolate-like composition through an increased apparent viscosity phase. Upon continued mixing, the mixture returns to a reduced apparent viscosity (fluid) phase. The mixture is subsequently handled in the same manner as an unmodified composition. Upon aging and stabilization, the modified chocolate or chocolate-like composition demonstrates a reduced tendency to deform at elevated temperatures, is less prone to stick to packaging or fingers, and maintains the desired flavor, texture, mouth feel, and other characteristics of ordinary chocolate. The heat-resistant chocolate or chocolate-like composition of the invention is suitable for use in the same manner and for the same purposes for which ordinary chocolate and chocolate-like compositions are used, with the additional benefit of heat-resistance.

摘要： The invention relates to a process for controlling the solidification or crystallization of a fat or a fat-containing food, wherein the solidification or crystallization is carried out under the influence of a magnetic field. The process can be used particularly advantageously where the fat is polymorphic, for example, cocoa butter, and the magnetic field allows the fat to be produced in a particular crystalline form. Thus, a cocoa butter containing product in solid form can be produced, the cocoa butter having been formed directly from a liquid phase in crystal form VI without passing through another crystal form and without the addition of seed crystals.
