Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing a sweetened aqueous preparation in which 8 to 30% by weight, advantageously 10 to 30% by weight, relative to the total weight of the preparation, of chocolate pieces are dispersed, which method comprises the following successive steps: a) pasteurization of the chocolate having a fat content of between 43 and 85% by weight, with a pasteurization strength Fz of between 6000 and 10 000 000 min or sterilization of the chocolate having a fat content between 43 and 85% by weight; b) cooling of the pasteurized of sterilized chocolate to a temperature of between 24 and 45 0 C; c) injection of the pasteurized or sterilized, cooled chocolate into a stream of pasteurized or sterilized, sweetened aqueous preparation having a temperature of between the freezing point of the sweetened aqueous preparation and 15 0 C; d) solidification of the pasteurized of sterilized chocolate injected; e) optionnaly cutting and mixing of the injected and solidified, pasteurized of sterilized chocolate in the pasteurized or sterilized, sweetened aqueous preparation; f) recovery of a sweetened aqueous preparation in which 8 to 30% by weight, relative to the total weight of the preparation, of chocolate pieces having a fat content of between 43 and 85% by weight are dispersed, said preparation being concerved at a temperature of less that 10 0 C for at least 3 weeks.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for preparing an acidic fresh milk product containing chocolate pieces, which method comprises the following successive steps: a) pasteurization of the chocolate having a fat content of between 46 and 85% by weight, advantageously between 68 and 78% by weight of fat, with a pasteurization strength Fz of between 6000 and 10 000 000 min, advantageously between 10 000 and 500 000 min, preferably 15 000 to 100 000 min; b) cooling of the pasteurized chocolate to a temperature of between 24 and 45°C, preferably between 24 and 38°C; c) continuous-stream injection of the pasteurized, cooled chocolate into a stream of pasteurized acidic milk base having a temperature of between 8 and 16°C, advantageously between 8 and 12°C; d) solidification of the pasteurized chocolate injected; e) cutting the pasteurized, solidified chocolate into pieces and optionally mixing it into the acidic milk base by means of a dynamic mill; f) recovery of an acidic fresh milk product containing pieces of pasteurized chocolate having a fat content of between 46 and 85% by weight, advantageously between 68 and 78% by weight, said product being conserved at a temperature of between 1 and 10°C for a period of between 12 days and 6 weeks.
