  • Process for preparing reduced calorie flavored confectionery compositions using dynamic tempering conditions
    Patent number: 5275835
    Abstract: An improved process is disclosed for preparing flavored confectionery compositions containing certain reduced calorie cocoa butter substitute fats. The improvement involves rapidly cooling such a composition from a non-crystalline state to a temperature of less than about 70.degree. F. (21.1.degree. C.) using a swept-wall, scraped-wall, or screw-type heat exchanger. The cooled composition is then conditioned for at least about 5 minutes by warming it to a temperature of about 70.degree. to 85.degree. F. (21.1.degree. to 29.4.degree. C.) in an agitated vessel before further processing into finished confectionery pieces. Under these dynamic tempering conditions, bloom-stable products can be produced much faster than with static tempering.
