  • Publication number: 20230180786
    Abstract: A composition for coating a frozen confectionary includes a fat blend containing (i) an emulsifier that is preferably lecithin, (ii) at least one hardening fat that is preferably one or more of palm oil, palm oil mid fractions, or palm oil softfractions, (iii) one or more soft oils that preferably include canola oil, and (iv) anhydrous milk fat. The coating composition also includes flour and sugars. The composition has a particle size of about 40 µm to about 200 µm, preferably about 90 µm to about 120 µm, and has the sensory characteristics, such as appearance, flavor and texture, of raw cookie dough. Optionally the composition further includes one or more of milk powder, salt or flavor. Preferably the frozen confectionary coated by the composition is an ice cream bar.

  • Patent number: 6818238
    Abstract: An ice confection having an ice confection core and a fat-based outer coating layer wherein the fat in the coating is predominantly a soft type palm mid fraction. The use of the soft type palm mid fraction having a melting point of around 26° C. in a fat-based coating dramatically reduces or prevents bleed through the coating of coated ice cream products.

  • Publication number: 20020136818
    Abstract: The invention is directed to food products that include a liquid fat and a high melting point emulsifier. The liquid fat and a high melting point emulsifier can replace solid fat in the food product. The high melting point emulsifier may also be added to chocolate to provide a chocolate composition that has better shape retention at elevated temperatures. The emulsifier component gives the fat in the chocolate a structure that resists loss of shape even at elevated temperatures and keeps the chocolate composition from sticking to the wrapper when subjected to elevated temperatures. The invention also provides a method of making the chocolate composition.
