The invention relates to spherical particles, to agglomerates of spherical particles, to methods for producing spherical particles, to food suspensions and consumable masses having spherical particles, and to food products containing a food suspension and/or a consumable mass. The particles contain a matrix material composed of an amorphously solidified biopolymer, in particular a sugar, preferably having a dextrose equivalent greater than 20 and having an equilibrium water content preferably less than 10 wt%, wherein solid particles and/or liquid and/or gas volumes are embedded in the matrix material. The food suspension contains a substantially homogeneous carrier material, in which spherical particles are embedded. A consumable mass comprises an agglomerate of particles, wherein some of the particles are spherical particles. The use of embedded cocoa particles reduces the roughness of said cocoa particles and reduces the flow point while removing the need for emulsifiers. This allows up to a 50% reduction of the fat phase and thereby the production of a low-calorie chocolate product. |
