Definitions
- Food product comprising a polymorphic vegetable fat composition with a low content of mono-unsaturated asymmetric and tri-saturated triglycerides
- the present invention relates to a food product suitable for use as a filling for a confectionery or bakery product, wherein the food product comprises between 2 and 85% by weight of an edible component and between 15 and 98% by weight of a vegetable fat composition.
- the present invention also relates to uses of the food product and the vegetable fat composition.
- Vegetable fat fractions such as Palm Mid Fractions (PMFs) with 25-95% by weight POP triglycerides are widely applied as the major fat component in fat continuous products in the confectionery and bakery industry.
- PMFs Palm Mid Fractions
- POP triglycerides
- the ideal process of tempering a fat continuous product comprises: 1. Lowering the temperature under constant shear of the fat or the fat continuous food product to a temperature at which the fat partially crystallizes;
- the viscosity of a fat continuous product is an important parameter in the production process, and the viscosity needs to be controlled within narrow ranges.
- the viscosity of a fat continuous product is depending on several parameters, among others: • The fat content - the lower the fat content, the higher the viscosity.
- the optimal way of processing a polymorphic filling based on a PMF before the filling is used in a final application is to temper it in a tempering machine to a well- tempered filling. Controlling that the filling is well-tempered is easy for the person skilled in the art by testing the tempered filling on a commercially available temper- meter. During production, however, many manufacturers experience problems with a too high viscosity of the filing, making it difficult to handle the polymorphic filling when using the above-mentioned optimal processing.
- the manufacturers tend to adjust the tempering process towards a less than optimal tempering process by creating fewer crystals in the cooling process (the first step) and/or heating the filling to a too high temperature in the second step of the tempering process.
- the main object of the invention is to provide a new food product comprising such a polymorphic fat composition, which is easy to handle, and which will be usable in production of fillings for a confectionary or bakery product.
- a continuous fat product containing a vegetable fat composition with 25-95% by weight POP and 1-20% by weight StOSt and/or POSt and/or their positional isomers, and a SatOSat / SatSatO ratio of 12 or more has a lower viscosity.
- the inflection point of the temper curve i.e. the point where the tempering curve flattens out/reaches a plateau
- the crystallization during the subsequent cooling process will occur at a higher temperature, i.e. faster crystallization is achieved.
- the present invention relates to a food product suitable for use as a filling for a confectionery or bakery product, wherein the food product comprises between 2 and 85% by weight of an edible component, and between 15 and 98% by weight of a vegetable fat composition; wherein the vegetable fat composition comprises triglycerides of which between 25 and 95% by weight is POP, and between 1 and 20% by weight is selected from StOSt, POSt, their positional isomers, or combinations hereof; wherein, in the vegetable fat composition, the ratio of SatOSat / SatSatO is 12 or more; and wherein O is oleic acid, St is stearic acid, and P is palmitic acid, and Sat is a saturated fatty acid.
- the vegetable fat composition is a polymorphic vegetable fat composition comprising a low content of tri-saturated triglycerides (TAGs) and a low content of mono-unsaturated asymmetric TAGs.
- TAGs tri-saturated triglycerides
- the vegetable fat composition comprised in the food product can be regarded as an alternative palm mid fraction composition.
- the amount of tri-saturated TAGs and of mono- unsaturated asymmetric TAGs is lower than in a standard polymorphic vegetable fat composition. That the amount of mono-unsaturated asymmetric TAGs is low can be seen by the high ratio between SatOSat / SatSatO which is higher than in a standard polymorphic vegetable fat composition.
- the food product of the invention comprising the herein defined vegetable fat composition incorporated in the food product, has improved line capacity and improved distribution of filling in the final application, while still having maintained the properties of a well-tempered product.
- the present invention further relates to the use of the food product in the manufacture of a food product for human consumption; as an ingredient in a food product; as an ingredient in a confectionary product; and/or as an ingredient in a chocolate or chocolate-like product.
- the present invention further relates to the use of a vegetable fat composition in the manufacture of a food product for human consumption; as an ingredient in a food product; as an ingredient in a confectionary product; and/or as an ingredient in a chocolate or chocolate-like product; wherein the vegetable fat composition comprises triglycerides of which between 25 and 95% by weight is POP, and between 1 and 20% by weight is selected from StOSt, POSt, their positional isomers, or combinations hereof; wherein, in the vegetable fat composition, the ratio of SatOSat / SatSatO is 12 or more; and wherein O is oleic acid, St is stearic acid, and P is palmitic acid, and Sat is a saturated fatty acid.
- oils and “fats” are used for esters between fatty acids and glycerol.
- One molecule of glycerol can be esterified to one, two, and tree fatty acid molecules resulting in a monoglyceride (MAG), a diglyceride (DAG), or a triglyceride (TAG), respectively.
- MAG monoglyceride
- DAG diglyceride
- TAG triglyceride
- fats consist of mainly triglycerides and minor amounts of lecithin, sterols, etc. If the fat is liquid at room temperature, it is normally called oil.
- the fat is semisolid at room temperature and of exotic origin it is referred to as butter, e.g. shea butter. If it is solid at room temperature, it is called a fat.
- vegetable oil and “vegetable fat” is used interchangeably, unless otherwise specified.
- the term “vegetable” shall be understood as originating from a plant retaining its original chemical structure/composition. Thus, vegetable fats or vegetable triglycerides are still to be understood as vegetable fats or vegetable triglycerides after fractionation etc. as long as the chemical structure of the fat components or the triglycerides are not altered.
- Sat means a saturated fatty acid
- U means an unsaturated fatty acid.
- the fatty acids, which are comprised in the triglycerides of formulae Sat U, SatUSat, etc., may be identical, or different, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.
- St means stearic acid/stearate (C18:0), O means oleic acid/oleate (C18:1 ), P means palmitic acid (C16:0).
- triglycerides may be used interchangeably with the term “triacylglycerides” and should be understood as an ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acids. “Triglycerides” may be abbreviated TG or TAG.
- TG triglyceride
- the % amount of a triglyceride (TAG) is determined using the AOCS Ce 5b-89 method which is a standard method for determining triglycerides in vegetable oils by HPLC. This method does not distinguish the different positional isomers of a given TAG, thus e.g. PPO and POP are measured as one.
- the skilled person will know a method for determining positional isomers for example by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) in combination with an Evaporative Light Scattering Detector (ELSD).
- HPLC High Performance Liquid Chromatography
- ELSD Evaporative Light Scattering Detector
- the sample preparation consists of an epoxidation of the double bonds of unsaturated fatty acids.
- the ratio can be determined by means of High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) on Silver Ion columns and detected by ELSD.
- % by weight relates to weight percentage i.e. wt%, wt.% orwt.-%.
- the given weight amounts in the fat composition is calculated from a composition containing approximately 100% triglycerides, however compositions containing up to 10 wt% minor components like free fatty acids, mono- and/or diglycerides may also be included.
- a ratio of SatOSat / SatSatO is meant that the total weight (the sum) of all SatOSat TAGs is divided by the total weight (the sum) of all SatSatO TAGs.
- a “chocolate” is to be understood as a chocolate and/or chocolate like product.
- a chocolate-like product is meant a product, which at least is experienced by the consumer as chocolate or as a confectionery product having sensorial attributes common with chocolate, such as e.g. melting profile, taste etc.
- Some chocolate comprises cocoa butter, typically in substantial amounts, where some chocolate-like products may be produced with a low amount of or even without cocoa butter, e.g. by replacing the cocoa butter with a cocoa butter equivalent, cocoa butter substitute, etc.
- many chocolate products comprise cocoa powder or cocoa mass, although some chocolate products, such as typical white chocolates, may be produced without cocoa powder, but e.g. drawing its chocolate taste from cocoa butter.
- Viscosity as discussed in the present invention relates to the measurement of a substance's resistance to motion under an applied force. Viscosity measurements are used in the food industry to maximize production efficiency and cost effectiveness. It affects the rate at which a product travels through a pipe, how long it takes to set or dry, and the time it takes to dispense the fluid into packaging. The viscosity of a product will influence the production process, which have to be designed with the viscosity of the product in mind. Viscosity is typically expressed in centipoise (cP), which is the equivalent of 1 mPa s (millipascal second).

- the present invention also relates to the use of a food product or a vegetable fat composition as disclosed and described herein in the manufacture of a food product for human consumption.
- the present invention also relates to the use of a food product or a vegetable fat composition as disclosed and described herein as an ingredient in a confectionary product.
- the present invention also relates to the use of a food product or a vegetable fat composition as disclosed and described herein as an ingredient in a chocolate or chocolate-like product.
- the present invention also relates to the use of a vegetable fat composition as disclosed and described herein as a filling fat in a confectionary product.
- the present invention also relates to the use of a vegetable fat composition as disclosed and described herein as a filling fat in a chocolate or chocolate-like product.
- the sensory, texture, melting profile, contraction, tempering behaviour, bloom stability, and heat stability of a chocolate or chocolate-like product is closely related to a variety of properties of the fat, e.g. the Sat 0 TAGs and the ratio between the three TAGs POP, POSt, and StOSt; and their isomers.
- the present inventor has discovered new parameters affecting the abovementioned characteristics of filing fats for confectionary and bakery products.
- the attractiveness of a filling is largely determined by its sensory properties and its appearance (hardness consistency, melt-off and flavor release). Other ingredients also contribute to the overall flavor, such as nuts and cocoa and/or milk powder. All the ingredients need to work well together in order for the filling to be attractive.
- Example 1 filling fats Two fillings are made based on recipe A and B - see table 1 below.
- All ingredients, except a part of the fat and lecithin, are mixed on a Teddy Mixer with heat jacket at 50 °C to a texture like marzipan. Every mixture is refined afterwards on a three rolls BCihler refiner to an average particle size at 20 micron. The refined mass is chonched together with the remaining fat for 6 hours at 50 °C on a Teddy mixer. 0.5 hours before the chonching is finished, lecithin is added. Fillings are then transferred to an Aasted AMC 50 three zones tempering machine (automatic tempering machine) to be optimally tempered. Tempering settings are adjusted until a well temper curve with the highest possible inflection point is obtained on an Exotherm 7400 Temper Meter. The inflection point correlates to the crystallization point of the product.
- the % amount of a triglyceride is determined using the AOCS Ce 5b-89 method, which is a standard method for determining triglycerides in vegetable oils by HPLC.
- the % amount of MAG and DAG is determined using the AOCS Cd 22-91 method, which is a standard method.
- the chemical composition of the two vegetable fats of the formulations are identical, except for the ratio SatOSat / SatSatO and the content of tri-saturated TAGs (Sat 3 ).
- Fig. 1 shows the difference in viscosity between the two well-tempered fillings. Filling A has a much higher viscosity than filling B, which could be seen simply by comparing the two tempered fillings visually. Fig. 1 shows the visual difference in viscosity between filling A and B, where A is left and B is right. Table 3 shows the plastic viscosity and the yield value for the two fillings A and B directly after tempering. Both are analysed on a Brookfield Rheometer HA DV III by using a small sample adapter and a SC27 spindle.
- the temper inflection point of filling A and filling B is measured by an Exotherm 7400 Temper Meter.
- Filling A has a temper inflection point at 17.22 °C, when it is well- tempered (slope 0,0) while the filling B has a temper inflection point significant higher at 17.66 °C when it is well-tempered (slope 0.0).
- Filling A thus need more cooling time to reach the 0.44 °C lower inflection point /crystallization point, if compared to filling B.
- the filling based on Fat B has a lower viscosity (see fig. 1 and table 3) making it easier to handle in production, and a higher inflection point making it crystallise at a higher temperature in the subsequent cooling process and therefore making crystallization happen faster in the cooling process.
- Example 2 filling fats
- the % amount of a triglyceride is determined using the AOCS Ce 5b-89 method, which is a standard method for determining triglycerides in vegetable oils by HPLC.
- a small part of the filing is crystalized on a 20 3 ⁇ 4 marble table (in the following referred to as seeding material) and then mixed with the remaining part, which has been kept liquid at 22.0 °C in a Teddy Mixer with heat jacket. After mixing the crystalized part with the liquid part (see following table 6) a temper test is made by using Exotherm 7400 temper meter. Table 6 shows the tempering parameter for the well-tempered filling masses. Table 6:
- Fig. 2 shows the difference in viscosity as visually perceived between the three well-tempered fillings. Filling C left, filling D mid, and filling E right.
- Fig. 2 and 3 illustrates clearly the very big difference in viscosity for the three fillings, C, D, and E.
- the only difference between the three fillings is the difference in the used vegetable oil, and the resulting change in viscosity can therefore be directly correlated to the SatOSat / SatSatO ratio and the difference in the content of tri- satu rated TAGs.
- Table 6 also illustrates how test filling D and E are easier to temper than the standard filling C. This can be seen by the requirement of less seeding material and less crystallization time on marble table. Only 8 and 7% seeding material are needed, respectively, for test filling D and E, compared to 25% for the standard filling C. In addition, the crystallization time is significantly reduced from 10 minutes for the standard filling to 3 minutes for the two test fillings. The significant higher temper inflection point for test filling D and E (see Table 6) illustrates a much faster crystallization and thereby faster setting for filling D and E compared the standard filling C.
