Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a stable solid chocolate giving a strong cool feeling when kept in a mouth by adding a prescribed amount of erythritol to the chocolate. CONSTITUTION:Erythritol is added to a chocolate to prepare a solid chocolate having a cool feeling. The erythritol is suitably compounded in an amount of >=10wt.% based on the total amount of the chocolate and the simultaneous use thereof with sugar and (or) a non-saccharide sweetener (e.g., aspertame) can give a sweetened product having a sweetness similar to that of the sugar. The erythritol is a non-digestible, non-carious sugar alcohol which is a white crystal having a mol.wt. of 122 and a melting point of 119 deg.C and is readily soluble in water and, since the erythritol has a highly large heat of fusion than those of other saccharides, the erythritol has a function to give a strong cool feeling when entered in a mouth.

[INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION FIELD 1] The present invention relates to a solid chocolate having a cooling sensation, and more particularly to a solid chocolate having a cooling sensation containing a sufficient amount of erythritol to impart a cooling sensation to the chocolate. [Conventional technology 1 Conventionally, chocolate is composed of cacao mass, cacao butter, sugar, powdered milk, lecithin, flavorings, etc., but chocolate made from these ordinary ingredients remains cold even when placed in the mouth. Due to the diversification of F&C tastes, which do not give a feeling of feeling, a wide variety of confectionery products have been developed, and some candies with a cooling sensation are already on the market. However, thicollate with a cooling sensation is not commercially available.1 Literature reports that chocolate with a cooling sensation is made by adding a fractionated light oil of lauric oil to part of the fat and oil components of chocolate.

However, although the chocolate obtained by the above method had a cooling sensation, it was not that strong (it was only accompanied by a mild cooling sensation.Also, sorbitol was used instead of sugar). If thicholate is produced using sorbitol, a product with a relatively strong cooling sensation can be obtained, but due to the strong hygroscopicity of sorbitol, the work must be carried out in low humidity conditions, and the resulting product is also very unsatisfactory. It was stable and had the disadvantage of blooming due to moisture absorption within a short period of time. [Means for solving the problem] The inventors of the present invention aimed to develop a stable solid chocolate that has a strong cooling sensation (through extensive research). As a result, Kei discovered that by using erythrol instead of sugar, which is a sweetener in chocolate, stable solid chocolate with a cooling sensation so strong that you feel cold when you put it in your mouth could be obtained. After further research, they completed the present invention.
The present invention relates to a solid chocolate having a cooling sensation, which is characterized by containing erythritol in an amount of usually 10% by weight or more, preferably 20 to 50% by weight of the total chocolate weight. Note that sugar and/or non-saccharide sweeteners are usually blended with erythritol. The present invention will be explained in detail below. Erythritol used in the present invention (for details, meso
- Erythritol) has a molecular weight of 122 and a melting point of 11.
It is a non-digestible, non-carious sugar alcohol that is a white crystal at 9°C and is highly soluble in water. The sweetness of erythritol is slightly weaker than sugar and slightly stronger than cord sugar, and according to panel test results, the sweetness of erythritol is close to 60, which is about 75-80% of the sweetness of sugar. However, the aftertaste is cleaner than sugar and does not leave a sweet taste. Examples of non-saccharide sweeteners include aspartame, stevioside, glycyrrhizin, and sodium saccharin. Further, these can be used alone or in combination, and can also be used in combination with sugar. In the present invention, sugar and/or non-sugar M
The reason why it is preferable to include a flavoring agent is due to the characteristic sweetness of erythritol. That is, when erythritol is used in combination with sugar and/or non-saccharide sweeteners, the quality of sweetness is improved, and it is possible to obtain a sweetness quality that is close to the ideal sweetness of sugar. 1 Usually used in chocolate. In the range of sweetness intensity, the preferred composition ratio (mft ratio) of erythritol to sugar and/or each non-saccharide sweetener is 0.15 or more for sugar to erythritol +7)-1, and Aspartame, a non-saccharide sweetener, is 0°001

4. o, o o for saccharin sodium. 4~o, ooi. The solid chocolate of the present invention is characterized by a strong cooling sensation when put in the mouth, but this is due to the fact that the heat of fusion of erythritol is much greater than that of other sugars, as shown below. This is due to this. Heat of fusion of sugars (J/g) D-glucose 57.69 D-sorbitol 10 i, o i Sucrose 18.84 Erythritol 179.74 In the present invention, all of the sweeteners contained in chocolate were replaced with erythritol. In some cases, the resulting solid chocolate has a strong cooling sensation, but it also has a bitter or bitter taste, which is not necessarily pleasant in terms of taste. Furthermore, if the erythritol content is less than about 10% of the chocolate, it is not sufficient to provide a cooling sensation. Therefore, in order to obtain solid chocolate that has the same taste quality as conventional products and also has a cooling sensation, it is preferable to use erythritol and sugar and/or non-sugar sweeteners within the above-mentioned ranges. The solid chocolate having a cooling sensation of the present invention may be produced by a conventional method for producing chocolate, except for using erythritol or the like as a sweetener. Specifically, for example, the required amount of erythritol, sugar,
Non-sugar sweeteners such as aspartame, cocoa mass,
Cocoa butter, milk powder, emulsifiers such as lecithin, etc.
The mixture may be thoroughly mixed at ~60°C, pulverized using a Su7 Einer, etc., further removed from the mold, followed by tempering, and finally cast into a mold and cooled to form a product. The solid chocolate of the present invention may be in any shape, such as a block, a chip, a bar, or a belent, in addition to a general chocolate bar. It can also be used as titacolate for coated coatings. [Example 1] Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples. Example 1 After mixing the raw materials well at 60°C according to the formulation in Table 1,
Pass it through a 1J7 eyeliner, perform conching and tempering, then pour it into a mold and cool it.
Built. Regarding the obtained plate 5111, workability in the manufacturing process and stability when the product was stored alternately at 18°C and 30°C for 2 weeks for 1 day each were evaluated in comparison with a control product. The results are shown in Table 1. #S2 As is clear from Table S2, all samples except Prototype 1, which used nlubitol, showed no difference from the control product and were excellent in both workability and stability. Next, the obtained five types of chocolate bars F were subjected to sensory evaluation in comparison with a control product regarding the cooling sensation when put in the mouth and other general unpleasantness. The results are shown in Table 3. From Table 3, it can be seen that Prototypes 3 and 4 have a cooling sensation that the control product does not have, and are excellent products with no difference from the control product in all other aspects. Example 2 After thoroughly mixing the raw materials according to the formulation in Table #S4, the mixture was passed through a S7 finner, conched, and further tempered, then placed in a mold and cooled to obtain a plate of thicollate. All of the obtained prototype products (products of the present invention) had a cooling sensation and also had good sweetness and flavor. Further, even when the prototype was left at 30° C. for one month, no deterioration of quality such as bloom was observed and it remained stable.
