Abstract

Candy bars and other chocolate-coated confectionery is resistant to blooming on storage when filled with a substitute marzipan composition, the glyceride content of which comprises an edible vegetable fat having a dilatation at 20 DEG C of at least 800, preferably 1000 and at 35 DEG C of at most 500, preferably 400 and more particularly not more than 200. Preferably the fat is a hard butter, or itself a couverture fat, which may be present in a similar amount to a protein base provided by meal or other comminuted almond substitutes, particularly soyabean meal, the remainder being sugar. The composition may also be in the form of a free-flowing powder to which it is necessary only to add water for conversion to a plastic mass suitable for piping, filling and the like in confectionery.

Description

SPECIFICATION Marzipan substitute The present invention relates to edible compositions suitable for use as an alternative to marzipan and in particular to such a composition in the form of a free-flowing powder which converts to a marzipan substitute by the addition of water.
Marzipan is a cooked mixture of ground almonds and sugar, sometimes known as almond paste where extra sugar is added. It is very expensive owing to the high cost of almonds. Chocolate fillings containing either marzipan or cheaper substitutes based on other comminuted drupes such as peach stones or soyabean meal, promote bloom in the couverture, due to the incompatibility of the couverture glycerides with those in the marzipan or substitute.
The present invention provides a marzipan substitute composition, the glyceride content of which comprises an edible vegetable fat having dilatations at 20 and 35"C of at least 800 and at most 500 which is compatible with couverture fats to minimise blooming.
The compositions of the invention containing sugar and comminuted drupe or meal in addition to the fat may be provided in the characteristic plastic consistency for use in fillings and general confectionery purposes, or in the form of a free-flowing powder requiring only the addition of water or other aqueous additive.
Meal is the edible part of any grain or pulse, ground to a powder and is the finer part as distinct from the bran or coarser part. Preferably soyabean meal is used, particularly containing at least 60% protein and previously heated to eliminate enzyme and bacterial action. Drupes are not nuts but fruit, e.g. almond, peach and coconut.
Preferably at least 3% to 30% each of fat and meal are present, especially roughly equal amounts, the residue in the free-flowing compositions being sugar of which preferably at least 40% but not more than 90% is present. The sugar may be in powdered and/or crystallised form according to the consistency required in the final product.
The fat preferably exhibits a dilatation at 35"C of no more than 400, especially a maximum of about 200. At 20"C its dilatation is preferably at least 1000. It should be compatible with couverture fats and for this reason it should preferably consist, like most couverture fats themselves, predominantly of C,6-C1a triglycerides. Indeed the fat is more preferably itself a couvertu re fat of which suitable Examples are given in BP's827,172,859,769 and 1,521,884. Of course, where the marzipan substitute of the invention is intended as the filling mass for a chocolate consisting of a predominantly lauric couverture then the fat in the composition should itself consist of a lauric fat, e.g. a fat based on babassu, coconut or palm kernel oils.Hard butters which have been derived from vegetable oils by processes such as hydrogenation, fractionation, interesterification, or blending, either alone or in combination, may also be used.
The compositions of the invention may be in the form of a plastic mass ready for use, or a powdered mixture to which water, milk or sugar syrup including corn and potato starch syrups, may be added, preferably from 5 to 30%, in an amount according to the consistency required in the plastic product. They may be used alone or in admixture with conventional marzipan or almond pastes. The plastic composition may be used as a coating orto ornament cakes,- pastries and other confectionery.
EXAMPLE A free-flowing powder was obtained by mixing 74% crystal sugar with 13.8% fat and 12% soya meal containing 65% protein. A little sorbic acid as antioxidant and almond flavour were added. Two samples were prepared containing 13.8% couverture fat, one of D20 1450 and D3s 400 comprising a blend of hardened vegetable oils having a melting point of 38"C and iodine Value 55, made in accordance with British Patent No. 1,521,884 and the other of D201900 and D35 125 comprising a blend of palm mid-fraction and shea stearine in accordance with Example 7 of British Patent Specification 925,805.
Each sample was made up to a plastic consistency with the addition of 5 mls of water and 10 gms of sugar syrup per 100 gms of sample and enrobed in the form of bars, with a cocoabutter milk chocolate coating containing in one case a cocoabutter extender fat. In another Example the couverture was based on the same fat as the filling.
These bars showed no blooming after four months' storage during which the temperature was alternated at daily intervals from 1 2 C to 25"C. Similar bars containing only half the quantity of fat and soya meal, supplemented with 12.4% crushed almonds, were as successful, but comparative Examples omitting only the added fat showed clear blooming phenomena after only two months' storage under these conditions.
