Abstract

A coffee-flavored oil-in-water emulsion comprising an aqueous phase and a disperse oil phase, characterized in that the disperse oil phase comprises a coffee aroma-containing vegetable oil having at least 0.01% by weight of cafestol, for the preparation thereof a mixture of roasted Coffee and oil or fat husked oilseed or peeled kernels or peeled nuts was cold pressed.

Description

The invention relates to a creamy pasty oil-in-water confectionery emulsion with coffee flavor and a process for their preparation.

To produce high-quality and not so costly confectionery emulsions natural coffee flavor carriers are required, which have a uniform coffee flavor, are inexpensive and easy to dose and suffer during the production of the confectionery no loss of flavor. It is advantageous if artificial flavors can be dispensed with and such coffee flavoring agents are not added separately during the processing process, but belong to the main raw material components of the final product and at the same time offer nutritional benefits.

The object of the invention is to provide a process for producing confectionery emulsions with a pleasant coffee flavor and creamy pasty consistency and good spreading properties, in which the emulsion is prepared on the basis of an oil-in-water emulsion and diluted undiluted as a spread, confectionery filling or confectionery dip and diluted Drink is suitable.

Such pasty and spreadable emulsions, which have a lower energy density compared to pure fat spreads or fat-carbohydrate-protein mixtures, can be based on water-in-oil (W / O), oil-in-water (O / W). , Oil in water in oil (O / W / O) or water in oil in water (W / O / W).

It is known to be able to impart certain rheological properties via the use of proteins as emulsifier and via the choice of specific protein modifications of such confectionery emulsions, depending on the desired application ( DD 294403 A5 . Mushiolik u. Ravel, Deutsche Milchwirtschaft 44, 1993, pp. 637-647 such as IDF Special Issue 9393, 1993, pp. 380-384 ).

Furthermore, it is possible to modify such concentrated spread emulsions which are prepared with an emulsifying protein by adding a non-gelling polysaccharide (xanthan, pentosan, amylopectin) in the coating properties ("short" or "long" texture or variable coherence) ( DD 277013 A1 ). However, an essential consistency influence (low or high viscosity) is only possible by increasing the dry matter content.

It is also known to incorporate fats and gel-forming polysaccharides (alginate, carrageenan, agar-agar, pectin) or gelatin in order to increase the viscosity or to obtain a spreadable consistency in concentrated oil-in-water emulsions (eg chocolate spread). DE 60211688 T2 ). By forming an oil-in-water emulsion in the presence of proteins, e.g. As milk proteins, the spreading property of the fat-containing emulsion is significantly improved at refrigerator temperature and prevents oiling out of the fat at a higher temperature. The DE 60211688 T2 However, it does not show how a pasty and easily spreadable consistency can be achieved without the use of fat or when replacing fat with vegetable oil.

In DE 4302881 C1 a cocoa spread is described which contains avocado pork instead of the usual fat content. This pulp, which has a high fat content ("avocado butter"), gives the spread a higher nutritional value due to the higher content of unsaturated fatty acids. This spread is easy to spread even at refrigerator temperature. As a stabilizing agent, locust bean gum or guar gum is added to the spread. This document does not show how to dispense with said stabilizing agents and what options there are for setting the coating or consistency properties at different dry matter content.

In DE 10 2006 019 241 B4 and DE 10 2007 057 258 A1 It is shown that the consistency and creaminess of emulsions which have a different solids content, can also be done through targeted use of the interactions of proteins with pectin and Na-carboxymethylcellulose.

In DE 10 2006 019 241 B4 and DE 10 2007 057 258 A1 For example, to prepare the oil-in-water emulsion, a vegetable oil phase is dispersed in an aqueous protein solution which simultaneously contains a polysaccharide. The polysaccharide may also be in the oil phase during emulsion production. This is advantageous if too high a polysaccharide content in the aqueous phase makes it difficult to prepare the oil-in-water emulsion due to the decrease in flowability. However, an introduction of coffee flavor is not discussed in these writings.

Subsequent mixing of cocoa powder does increase the viscosity of the emulsion preparation described above, but does not change the coating properties with respect to the "short" texture. No enhancement of coherence or occurrence of "long" texture or "dragging" on the painting article was observed.

Such cocoa-containing emulsions prepared in this way provide the basis for a Enrichment of the sweetener emulsion with coffee flavor.

The combination of cocoa and coffee tastes is very popular in the production of specialty cocoa products, so this combination and finding a new and easy way to fortify coffee-flavored confectionery emulsions is of particular interest.

So far, no solutions have been shown that offer a more advantageous alternative to the enrichment of confectionery emulsions with aqueous extracts or instant powder, coffee oil or ground coffee.

In DE 4302881 C1 contains a confectionery spread in addition to 5 to 10 wt .-% cocoa powder 5 to 10 wt .-% coffee powder. The disadvantage of this variant is that the use of ground coffee has an unfavorable effect on mouthfeel. If instant coffee powder is used, an energy-consuming production of the powder is necessary, which has a negative effect on the cost of raw materials.

In addition to hydrophilic coffee instant powder or coffee extract concentrates hydrophobic extracts can be used for flavoring. These are obtained from roasted coffee beans by different methods. While the continuous aqueous emulsion phases are enriched with hydrophilic coffee extracts, hydrophobic extracts (coffee oil) can also be added to the dispersed oil or fat phase. Both variants, however, require the use of high-priced coffee products.

If the aroma is transferred over coffee oil, this oil is extracted directly from the roasted coffee bean by pressing ( DE 1120854 B . DE 1123895 B ), Solvent extraction ( DE 2102069 A . US 5417993 A ), Extraction with supercritical gas ( DE 4335321 C2 . US 4328255 A ) or separated from an aqueous extract ( US 4118521 A . US 4277509 A ). Such derived coffee oils are also used for the flavor and odor improvement of instant coffee powders ( US RE 31427 . US 5576044 A . DE 2261406 C2 ).

The disadvantage of the coffee oils and the coffee oil-enriched instant products is that these extraction or treatment processes are very complex and thus make the product more expensive. Another disadvantage of the use of aqueous concentrates or instant powder is that during the manufacturing process (concentration, freeze or spray drying) the proportion of volatile coffee flavorings decreases and the taste quality suffers.

In order to prevent a decrease in the volatile aroma content of instant powders, they may additionally be encapsulated or encapsulated in a protective casing after addition of coffee oil with the addition of hydrocolloids ( US 4520033 A ). This labor-intensive and energy-intensive process also leads to more expensive instant powder.

Such instant coffee powder with and without added coffee oil are added to achieve special flavors cocoa-containing products (drinks, confectionery). Thus, using cocoa powder and aqueous coffee extract or instant coffee granules for beverage production is produced ( DE 1692380 C . WO 98/06274 A1 ) or for confectionery (confectionery filling) ( GB 366487 A . WO 90/08475 A1 ). Furthermore, you can find combinations of coffee and cocoa in ice cream ( WO 99/39587 A1 . ES 2166725 A1 ) and in spreads ( DE 4302881 C1 ).

Both aqueous extracts and solvent-extracted coffee oils have correspondingly serious disadvantages.

The object of the present invention was to provide a coffee-flavored confectionery emulsion which overcomes the above drawbacks and to provide a corresponding production process.

It should be made with a vegetable oil, creamy pasty confectionery emulsions, with an additional Kaffeearomagbung was achieved without the addition of coffee oil or instant coffee powder.

This object is achieved by a confectionery emulsion having the features of claim 1 and by the use according to claims 6 and 7, respectively. Further preferred embodiments emerge from the subclaims.

In other words, the object is achieved by a coffee flavored confectionery emulsion comprising an aqueous phase and a disperse oil phase characterized in that the disperse oil phase comprises a coffee aroma-containing vegetable oil having at least 0.01% by weight of cafestol to which Preparation of a mixture of roasted coffee and fat or oil-containing plant cell structures was cold pressed. The plant cell structures for producing coffee oil-containing vegetable oil phases are preferably derived from oil or fat-containing seeds, seeds or nuts.

By means of this invention, taste-responsive creamy pasty emulsions are included Coffee taste nutritionally valuable and economically produced. The emulsions also have a high emulsion stability. When using various sweeteners (eg sucrose, glucose, fructose) or sugar exchangers (eg isomalt, sorbitol, xylitol) and subsequent incorporation of powdered flavoring ingredients (eg cocoa) a pleasant creamy consistency is maintained.

The pasty coffee flavored confectionery emulsions are based on the methods of the art DE 102006019241 B4 and DE 102007057258 A1 generated. The emulsions have a coffee flavor and contain as a disperse phase vegetable oil. They are characterized by a pleasant creamy and "short" texture, as well as good spreading properties, even after additional incorporation of dry powder, such as cocoa and milk powder.

In principle, the method for producing a coffee-flavored confectionery emulsion in which an aqueous phase and an oil phase are emulsified together, characterized in that the formation of the oil phase, a coffee oil-containing vegetable oil is used, which by cold pressing a mixture of roasted coffee with fat or oily plant cell structures, preferably seeds, seeds or nuts, preferably peeled, obtained by means of screw press. For details in the preparation of the confectionery emulsion is based on the DE 102006019241 B4 and DE 102007057258 A1 Referenced.

The oil-in-water emulsion can be prepared by simultaneously containing a protein and a charged polysaccharide in the emulsion preparation in the aqueous phase, or the emulsion in the aqueous phase emulsion preparation containing a protein and a charged polysaccharide containing the oil phase to be dispersed. After the emulsion production more flavor-influencing finely powdered components, such as. As cocoa, the emulsion are mixed. Preferably, the emulsion is mixed in cocoa powder.

In the present invention, the flavor flavoring hydrophobic phase to be dispersed contains a coffee flavored oil obtained by pressing a mixture of roasted coffee and oily plant tissue.

In a preferred embodiment, the production method is characterized in that a mixture is cold-pressed, which roasted coffee and fat or oil-containing plant cell structures in a mass ratio of coffee beans: plant tissue particles from 1: 1 to 1:10, preferably 1: 2 to 1: 9, most preferably 1: 3 to 1: 6. In this way, a coffee oil-containing vegetable oil is obtained, which has at least 0.01 wt .-% Cafestol. The cafestol content depends on the ratio of coffee beans: plant tissue particles. For example, it is 0.25 wt% at a ratio of 1: 3 and 0.10 wt% at a ratio of 1: 6.

With regard to cafestol roasted coffee normally has a content of about 3 to 5 g / kg of dry matter ( Nackunstz u. Maier, Z. Lebensm. Unters. Forsch. 184, 1987, pp. 494-499 ). Arabica beans have on average Cafestol contents up to 6 g / kg, Robusta beans up to 2 g / kg ( Masten and Tice, Cafestol and Kahweol - Review of Toxicological Literature, 1999 ).

The coffee can be used in the form of coffee beans or as a powder. Caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee can be used.

The coffee-flavored vegetable oil is obtained by mixing roasted coffee (eg from Arabica roast coffee) with, for example, peeled sunflower seeds and cold-pressing it by means of a screw press (conventional oil press). In this case, the coffee aroma components pass under pressure into the vegetable oil which is used to prepare an oil-in-water emulsion as the sole component or in a mixture with other vegetable oils or fatty phases. The cold pressing takes place at a pressure between 1 and 20 MPa, preferably at a pressure between 4 and 8 MPa.

This in EP 1279723 B1 The method described relates to the pressing of spice, medicinal, aromatic and aromatic plants with processed shelled oilseeds, which are mixed and cold pressed. In the context of this invention, an analogous process for the production of a vegetable oil with intense coffee aroma by mixing roasted coffee beans with peeled oilseed or with shell-free nuts is used. For details of the pressing process is on the EP 1279723 B1 Referenced. The flavored vegetable oil obtained in this way is outstandingly suitable for additional flavoring of confectionery emulsions.

In a preferred embodiment, milk or vegetable proteins are used together with an ionic polysaccharide in the preparation of the coffee-aroma-containing pasty confectionery emulsion in the aqueous phase, and a coffee oil phase containing vegetable oil phase is used to form the emulsion.

Due to the positive interactions between the biopolymers used, the coffee-oil-containing emulsions obtain a pleasant creamy consistency and are characterized by a high emulsion stability.

It is also possible, for the production of pasty emulsions with a low dry matter content or a lower proportion of disperse phase before emulsification, to enrich the coffee aroma-containing vegetable oil with a polysaccharide. This is done via the polysaccharide in the oil phase, the consistency of confectionery emulsions.

Creamy-creamy consistency emulsions containing cocoa powder are prepared by dispersing a coffee oil-containing oil phase into an aqueous phase which simultaneously contains a protein and highly esterified pectin or Na carboxymethylcellulose.

About the proportion of caffeearomahaltigem vegetable oil and cocoa powder, the taste intensity can be adjusted. Other flavor nuances may also be obtained by the addition of other flavoring oil phases (eg, peppermint oil concentrate, pepper oil concentrate, ginger oil concentrate prepared after EP 1279723 B1 ) be achieved.

In a preferred embodiment, the confectionery emulsion is therefore characterized in that the disperse oil phase contains further flavoring vegetable oils, for the production of herbs or spices and fat or oil-containing plant cell structures were used.

If the energy density of the confectionery emulsions to be further reduced, an additional Konsistenzgebung z. B. by increasing the pectin content (incorporation over the oil phase) possible.

In a preferred variant, the confectionery emulsion is characterized in that the disperse oil phase consists solely of the coffee oil-containing vegetable oil or of a mixture of the coffee aroma-containing vegetable oil with taste-neutral vegetable oils or fats (in emulsions containing up to 60% by weight of disperse phase), the mixture preferably 0.1 to 60 wt .-% of the coffee oil-containing vegetable oil consists. The remaining portion of oil phase may consist of further vegetable oil (eg sunflower or rapeseed oil) or vegetable or animal fats.

Particularly preferably, the proportion of vegetable oil with coffee aroma 1 to 30 wt .-% in emulsions with up to 60 wt .-% proportion of disperse phase. The mass ratio of coffee: plant tissue particles is 1: 1 to 1:10, preferably 1: 2 to 1: 9, more preferably 1: 3 to 1: 6. The vegetable oil is preferably sunflower oil, d. H. the plant tissue particles are preferably peeled sunflower seed.

To prepare the emulsion, the aqueous phase contains 0.8 to 3.0% by weight of whey protein or vegetable protein (eg soya, lupine or pea protein, indication of the protein content based on the emulsion) and depending on the desired consistency and proportion on disperse phase 1.0 to 9 wt .-% highly esterified pectin (based on the emulsion). Instead of highly esterified pectin, in the absence of Ca ions in the emulsion preparation, the aqueous phase may also contain low methylester pectin.

If the proportion of disperse phase is more than 30% by weight and if a strong consistency (high yield point, good spreadability) is desired, the addition of higher pectin contents to the oil phase is advantageous (eg above 3% by weight of pectin in the emulsion ).

Emulsion formation for the production of spreadable or highly viscous emulsions is preferably carried out by dispersing the coffee aroma enriched vegetable oil into a protein solution which simultaneously contains a charged polysaccharide in the aqueous or in the oil phase and subsequent fine emulsification (rotor-stator or high-pressure emulsifier). The vegetable oil phase may additionally contain other flavoring oil concentrates, such as. As peppermint, pepper or ginger oil concentrate, which are also obtained as described above.

The aqueous phase may contain further additives such as sweeteners (eg sucrose, glucose, fructose), sugar exchangers (eg isomalt, sorbitol) or sweeteners (eg saccharin, acesulfame, aspartame, cyclamate), aroma components (vanillin or bourbon-vanilla powder), salts (eg NaCl) and preservatives (eg K-sorbate).

In the viscous emulsion further powdered components such as cocoa powder and milk powder, and ground nuts can be mixed. Preferably, the confectionery emulsion is characterized in that cocoa powder is included.

In preferred embodiments, the coffee aroma-containing oil phase is sunflower or rapeseed oil and is prepared by co-pressing the peeled seeds with roasted coffee in a screw press. In addition to oilseeds, peeled nuts or fruit kernels can also be used.

In the preparation of thick-pasty emulsions with the coffee-oil-containing vegetable oil phase, the proportion of oil phase is preferably selected so that the entire oil phase consists of high-quality vegetable oil and this proportion is 10 to 60% by weight, preferably 25 to 35% by weight.

Depending on the desired intensity of coffee aroma, vegetable oil enriched with coffee aroma is used in admixture with a non-aroma-containing vegetable oil. Furthermore, mixing with other flavoring vegetable oils is possible.

For sweetness, the emulsions contain between 10 and 25% by weight, preferably 12 to 17% by weight, of sucrose or glucose or fructose syrup. Furthermore, sweetening with isomalt, sorbitol and other sweeteners or sweeteners is possible. In other words, the confectionery emulsion is therefore preferably characterized in that sweeteners and other flavoring components are included.

The less sweetener is used (reduction of the dry matter of the emulsion), the higher the proportion of ionic polysaccharide in the emulsion to adjust or the proportion of other formulation components (eg cocoa, milk powder) to choose.

If an oil-in-water emulsion with 12% by weight of coffee-flavored sunflower oil in 30% by weight of disperse oil phase, a different proportion of weakly or heavily de-oiled cocoa is mixed in (between 5 and 15% by weight), the latter changes Intensity of the cocoa taste, the coffee taste is still noticeable when increasing the cocoa content, also preserves the creamy consistency and good spreadability.

The coffee oil-flavored vegetable oil phase emulsions prepared in this manner have a creamy consistency and "short" texture (no "trailing" property such as nut spreads), are used as confectionery spread, confectionery filling, confectionery dip for dipping pastry sticks and when diluted with water (emulsion: water 1: 5 to 1:10) as a drink. Preferably, the coffee-flavored confectionery emulsion is thus used as a confectionery spread, confectionery filler, confectionery dip or flavoring for ice cream. Another preferred embodiment relates to the use of the coffee flavored confectionery beverage as the basis for beverages made by diluting the emulsion with aqueous solutions.

In sensory tests of such emulsions (O / W with 30% oil phase), combinations of 5 to 15% by weight coffee-oil dispersed oil phase with 5 to 15% by weight cocoa powder (low deoiled) and 17% by weight sucrose had a particular preference ,

Other pleasant flavors were obtained by adding 1 wt .-% peppermint or 1 wt .-% pepper oil concentrate (prepared according to EP 1279723 B1 ) to the confectionery emulsion with coffee oil concentrate and cocoa powder.

The coffee-oil-based vegetable oil-based emulsions show no oil sales and are pleasant to texture even at refrigerator temperatures or at 30 ° C and easily spreadable.

embodiments

Example 1:

Preparation of a sweet-oil emulsion of the oil-in-water type with 12% by weight of coffee-oil-containing vegetable oil in 30% by weight of disperse phase

Coffee-flavored sunflower oil is prepared from a mixture of 1000 parts by weight of roast coffee (Arabica roast coffee) and 3000 parts by weight husked sunflower seeds by cold pressing by means of a screw press (yield 1500 parts by weight of sunflower oil containing coffee aroma). This coffee aroma-containing sunflower oil contains 0.09 wt .-% caffeine, 0.25 wt .-% Cafestol and 0.13 wt .-% Kahweol, 0.01 wt .-% dehydrocafestol and <0.001 wt .-% dehydrokahweol (analysis by the working group Prof. Dr. Karl Speer, Professorship for Special Food Chemistry / Food Production, TU Dresden).

If the proportion of shelled sunflower seeds is increased to 6000 parts by weight, the coffee-flavored sunflower oil contains only 0.04% by weight of caffeine, the proportion of cafestol is 0.10% by weight and Kahweol 0.05% by weight. ,

For the following examples, coffee oil-flavored sunflower oil containing 0.25% by weight of cafestol in admixture with another vegetable oil (with or without flavor carrier) or with a liquid soft fat is used for emulsion production.

1.2% by weight of whey protein isolate (DSE 5669, Fonterra Europe GmbH, Hamburg) and 17% by weight of sucrose, 2.4% by weight of sorbitol and 0.4% by weight of sodium chloride in 46.9% are used to prepare the emulsion % By weight of water dissolved. In this aqueous phase by means of a stirring ring at 1500 rev / min an oil phase dispersed consisting of 12 wt .-% cold pressed sunflower oil with coffee aroma, 18 parts by weight of refined rapeseed oil and 2.0 wt .-% highly esterified pectin (Herbacel Classic CU 201 , VE 68-71%, Herbstreith & Fox / Neuenbürg). The pectin is previously dispersed in the oil phase. The resulting slightly thick emulsion is then mixed with a pressure emulsifier ( DE 19530247 A1 ) is emulsified at 8 MPa. This emulsion has a non-sticky pasty consistency with a high yield point.

The spread emulsion has a rounded coffee flavor, has a creamy thick pasty consistency with a "short" texture and is easy to spread. When waffles or pastry sticks are immersed in this spread emulsion, the emulsion sticks very well when pulled out on the pastry, but without strong coherence or "long" tear. If the emulsion is diluted with water 1: 5 while stirring, a drink with a pleasant coffee flavor is obtained.

Example 2:

Production of a sweet-emulsion of the oil-in-water type with 12% by weight of coffee-oil-containing vegetable oil in 30 parts by weight of disperse phase, addition of 15% by weight of cocoa powder.

1.2% by weight of whey protein isolate (DSE 5669, Fonterra Europe GmbH, Hamburg) and also 17% by weight of sucrose, 2.4% by weight of sorbitol and 0.4% by weight of sodium chloride in 32.6% are used to prepare the emulsion % By weight of water dissolved. In this aqueous phase by means of stirring at 1500 rev / min an oil phase dispersed, consisting of 12 wt .-% cold pressed sunflower oil with coffee aroma, 18 parts by weight of refined rapeseed oil and 1.3 wt .-% highly esterified pectin (Herbacel Classic CU 201 ) consists. The pectin is previously dispersed in the oil phase. The resulting slightly thick emulsion is then finely emulsified with a Druckmulgiergerät at 8 MPa. This emulsion has a non-sticky pasty consistency with a high yield point. 15% by weight of cocoa powder (slightly de-oiled) are mixed into this emulsion by means of a stirring ring at 1500 rpm.

The cocoa-based spread emulsion has a rounded coffee-cocoa flavor and a creamy pasty consistency with "short" texture and good spreading properties. When waffles or pastry sticks are immersed in this spread emulsion, the emulsion sticks very well when pulled out on the pastry, but without strong coherence or "long" tear. If the emulsion is diluted with water 1: 5 with stirring, a drink with a pleasant cocoa coffee flavor is obtained. The cocoa-based spread emulsion is also suitable as a flavor additive in the production of ice cream. When different proportions of such an emulsion are added to the ice cream mix before the freezing process, the formation of large ice crystals is suppressed and a high freezing stability of the oil-in-water emulsion is ensured.

If the pectin is not dissolved via the oil phase but with part of the aqueous phase and then mixed with the protein solution and subsequently the emulsion is prepared, the emulsion is also easy to spread and "short" in texture. While adding the pectin to the oil phase gives the spread a mouthfeel somewhat akin to hazelnut mass spreads, the addition to the aqueous phase results in a more creamy, creamy mouthfeel.

Example 3:

Preparation of a sweet-oil emulsion of the oil-in-water type with 5% by weight of coffee-oil-containing vegetable oil in 30% by weight of disperse phase, addition of 5% by weight of cocoa powder

As in Example 2, a confectionery emulsion is prepared but the disperse phase contains 5% by weight of coffee flavored sunflower oil and 25% by weight of refined rapeseed oil. The proportion of highly esterified pectin in the oil phase to be dispersed is increased to 2.4 wt .-% and reduced the proportion of cocoa to 5 wt .-%. The water content is increased to 41.6 wt .-%.

After the fine emulsification, the emulsion has a higher viscosity than Example 2. After mixing in the cocoa powder, the emulsion is very easy to spread and somewhat "shorter" in texture compared to Example 2.

The cocoa-based spread emulsion also has a rounded coffee-cocoa flavor, but the cocoa taste is somewhat toned. This emulsion is also ideal as a confectionery dip for waffles and biscuit sticks, as it "breaks off" shortly after immersion.

Example 4:

Preparation of an oil-in-water type confectionery emulsion by mixing 5% by weight of coffee-oil-containing vegetable oil with 25% by weight of fatty phase, adding 5% by weight of cocoa powder

The emulsion is prepared according to Example 3, but 25% by weight rapeseed oil is replaced by a soft fat (Softisan 378, dropping point 39-42 ° C., Sasol Germany GmbH).

The emulsions prepared according to Examples 3 and 4 show no significant differences in the coffee-cocoa flavor and are similar in consistency and in the spreading properties, even at 7 ° C.

Example 5:

Preparation of a sweet-oil emulsion of the oil-in-water type with 12% by weight of coffee-oil-containing vegetable oil in 30% by weight of disperse phase, addition of 15% by weight of cocoa powder

The confectionery emulsion is prepared according to Example 2, but an exchange of 17 wt .-% sucrose against 17 wt .-% sugar exchanger isomalt. To intensify the sweetness, an additional 0.07% by weight of sweetener aspartame is added.

The emulsion prepared with these recipe components has, as stated in Example 2, a rounded coffee-cocoa flavor and a pleasant creamy consistency with "short" texture. The addition of isomalt leads to a slightly higher viscosity of the emulsion but does not adversely affect the coating properties.

Example 6:

Preparation of an oil-in-water type confectionery emulsion containing 12% by weight of coffee oil-containing vegetable oil in 30% by weight of disperse phase, addition of 15% by weight of cocoa powder, use of Na-carboxymethylcellulose instead of highly esterified pectin

The emulsion preparation is carried out according to Example 2, but instead of pectin of the phase to be dispersed 1.4 wt .-% Na-carboxymethyl cellulose (CRT 1000 GA, Dow Wolff Cellulosics GmbH) mixed. After dispersing the coffee aroma-containing oil phase, the pre-emulsion is allowed to stand for about 30 minutes prior to fine dispersion to allow the cellulose to swell.

After the fine dispersion and the mixing in of 15% by weight of cocoa powder, the confectionery emulsion shows no difference in taste compared to Example 2. The differences in consistency are that this emulsion is slightly less thick-pasty. The emulsion is also easy to spread and has a "short" texture.
