摘要:
Milling dry extracts containing cocoa polyphenols (CPs) to reduce the particlesize improves the flavor of edibleproducts (e.g., foods, medical foods, nutritional supplements, andpharmaceuticals) or additives containing the milled cocoa extracts.The products, e.g., chocolates, are less astringent and less bitter. The meanparticle size after milling is less than about 15 microns,preferably less than about 10 microns, and most preferably less than about 5microns. The total CP content of the milled extractsis at least about 300 milligrams and preferably about 300 to about 700milligrams per gram of milled extract. The additives consistessentially of (i) the milled high CP cocoa extract and (ii) a fat (e.g.,cocoa butter), an oil (e.g., vegetable oil), or a syrup (e.g., cornsyrup).
