Publication number: 20200345025Abstract: A solid milk may include 0.5 wt % to 4 wt % of free fat, wherein a total fat content, including the free fat, is 5 wt % or higher. The solid milk may have a porosity of 30% to 50% and a solubility of 5 seconds to 180 seconds, where the solubility is defined as a time required to dissolve the solid milk completely when the solid milk is placed in 100 mL of water at 50° C. and shaken at a rate of 1.5 cycles/sec and an amplitude of 30 cm. The solid milk may have a hardness of 30 N to 300 N, where the hardness is defined as a force causing fracture when a load is applied in a direction in which a surface area of a fracture surface of a sample becomes minimal.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2020Publication date: November 5, 2020Applicant: Meiji Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mitsuho Shibata, Ikuru Toyoda, Shunichi Kudo
