วิธี FOR MANUFACTURING HIGHLY HEAT-RESISTANT CHOCOLATE
FOOD
Technical Field
5 [0001]
The การประดิษฐ์นี้ relates to a process for producing a chocolate-containing food product having excellent heat resistance.
10 Background Art
[0002]
A behavior of chocolate or chocolate-like product, such as solidification and melt, depends on a physical property of fat because fine particles of raw materials
15 other than fat, such as cocoa solid, milk powder and sugar,
are dispersed in the continuous phase of the fat in the
chocolate or chocolate-like product. Typical fat used in
chocolate is cocoa butter. The cocoa butter shows
excellent melting property in the mouth because cocoa
20 butter has about 33°C of melting point and rapidly melts at
body temperature. However, almost fats of the cocoa butter
melt at more than 35°C and the heat resistance will be lost. And, it results in problems such as stickiness of the
surface, adherence each other and loss of shape retention.

To avoid the above problems, several fats having 34 to 42°C of melting point, such as cocoa butter improver and
cocoa butter substitute, are used. However, even when such a fat is used, heat resistance of the chocolate-like
5 product becomes 38°C at most. In addition, when the fat
having a melting point more than the body temperature is
used, there are problems that the obtained chocolate-like
product has very poor melting property in the mouth and low palatability.
10 [0004]
As shown in the above, a use of chocolate-like product
is substantially restricted in the markets requiring heat
resistance over 40°C, such as markets of Japan in summer
and tropical countries. Therefore, in such markets, there
15 is a great need for providing high palatable and heat-
resistant chocolate-like product having heat resistance and good melting property in the mouth.
[0005]
In order to handle the above described need, various
20 proposals relating to a chocolate-like product having heat
resistance have been made. Patent Document 1 relates to a
วิธี including preparing a chocolate-like product dough
with substituting one or two or more of alternate sugars
such as crystalline glucose, fructose, crystalline sorbitol,
25 powdered syrup and partially hydrogenated syrup for all or
3
a part of the sugar, molding the chocolate-like product dough, and then solidifying by heating at over 80°C for several seconds to several tens of minutes. Patent
Document 1 also relates to an oil-based confectionery
5 without stickiness even at 40 to 90°C, the temperature
higher than the melting point of fat. [0006]
Patent Document 2 relates to a วิธี of preparing a confectionery having good heat resistance including
10 preparing oil-based food dough having 3% or less of
moisture from fat and sugar as major ingredients, then
making the surface of the dough absorbing moisture, and
then baking the dough. Patent Document 2 also relates to a confectionery having good heat resistance without loss of
15 shape retention, stickiness of the surface, adherence each
other and loss of the original texture of oil-based confectionery dough.
