摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for chocolate crumb manufacture and to chocolate crumb and confectionery products made using the process. The process comprises: a) providing a milk and sugar mixture, or mixing together, milk and sugar so as to form a mixture; b) evaporating liquid from the mixture; c) adding cocoa mass/liquor to the mixture during and/or after steps (a) and/or (b); d) effecting sugar crystallisation in the mixture by subjecting the mixture to a temperature in the range of 55 to 1100C, under a lowered pressure in the range of 3.5 to 18 kPa for 10 to 20 minutes; and e) drying the mixture so as to form chocolate crumb. The sugar crystallisation parameters employed in the process result in reduced fouling of equipment and chocolate crumb having superior flavour and texture development.
