FOOD PRODUCT COMPRISING A SOLID MASS BASED ON CHOCOLATE OR THE LIKE IN CONTACT WITH AN AQUEOUS PHASE

摘要

The invention concerns a food product comprising a substantially solid mass based on chocolate or a chocolate-like product in contact with an aqueous phase in unfrozen state, with a local free moisture content ranging between 30 % and 45 %, preferably between 35 % and 45 %, said substantially solid mass having a low water intake in suitable conditions of preservation. The invention is characterised in that the substantially solid mass comprises in weight percentage: 43 to 68 % of fat; <25 % of defatted dry cocoa; <17 % of skim milk powder; appropriate amounts of sugar > 13 %, the solid mass being such that for an aqueous phase having a local free moisture content ranging between 30 % and 45 %, preferably 35 and 45 %, the quantity tau is less than 3, the quantity tau being defined by the equation: tau = (-16.6 x [water] + 2.9) x MG + (22.5 x [water] -3.5) x (S + PLE) + (66.9 x [water] -11.8) x C.
