  • Publication number: 20050084598
    Abstract: An fat-based confectionery which is excellent in meltability in the mouth and heat-resistant shape retention can be provided by a production method characterized by including steps of adding to a fat-based confectionery material a high melting point triglycerides in an amount of 1.2 to 1.8% by weight based on the fat contained in the confectionery material, completely melting the resultant mixture by heating, then cooling it to thereby convert all of the crystalline forms of the high melting point triglycerides into forms other than stable ones, and then heating it to thereby convert all of the high melting point triglycerides crystals into stable ones.

  • Patent number: 5370888
    Abstract: A process for the manufacture of chocolate confectionery by entrapping a fatty cream with fine gas bubbles. The confectionery is manufactured by preparing a shell chocolate with open end in a mold, feeding under pressure a fine gas bubble entrapping fatty cream base into the shell chocolate through the opening to fill the shell, scraping off excessively charged fatty cream, solidifying the fatty cream in the shell, pouring a chocolate base on the solidified fatty cream to close the opening of the shell chocolate, scraping off excessively charged chocolate base, solidifying the chocolate base, and demolding the product. A stencil plate can be used, when the gas bubble entrapping fatty cream is charged into the shell of shell chocolate.

  • Patent number: 4572835
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a deaerated fatty confectionaries, specifically, chocolate blocks, chocolate blocks with a confectionary center, chocolate covered products, white chocolate or colored chocolate blocks, and the like, having a substantially reduced air content without requiring excessive shaking. In accordance with the invention, the fatty confectionary mass in a fluidal state and flowing in the form of a film is subjected to a reduced pressure, preferably, within a range of 10 to 350 Torr. Tempering can be carried out either prior to, during, or subsequent to the deaerating treatment. The deaerated mass can then be used for manufacturing chocolate products by molding, shell-molding, or covering.
