- the cocoa mass and chocolate powder produced in this way according to the present invention were examined for common bacteria.
- Table 1 shows the proportions of cacao mass and chocolate powder according to the present invention, as well as commercially available chocolate for comparison and common bacteria in soft drinks.
- the "cocoa mass” and “chocolate” produced by the novel chocolate continuous production method of the present invention are characterized by being “sterilized” that could not exist in conventional chocolate, cocoa mass, and cocoa powder. turned out to be one.
- the present invention can be used for new applications (high-moisture content products) that require extremely strict bacterial count control, which has been considered taboo in the past.
- FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a microscopic image (30 times) of chocolate using a ground food material in one embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 6 is a view showing a photograph of chocolate using a ground food material in one embodiment of the present invention. It can be seen that the oil is well dispersed, resulting in a very glossy finish.
- the physical definition of good cocoa mass chocolate is that it should be pleasant to the touch, smooth, and organoleptically, it should retain the good aromas of the cocoa beans and remove the bad aromas.
- the "cocoa mass” and “chocolate” produced by the novel continuous chocolate production method of the present invention have an average particle size of 30 ⁇ m or less for non-fat components of the composition other than cacao bean oil (cocoa butter).
- Most of the samples of the new manufacturing method shown in Fig. 5 have a thickness of 10 ⁇ m or less, demonstrating that a so-called “smooth” product can be produced compared to the conventional method.
- Example 6 an attempt was made to produce allergen-free chocolate using vegetable hydrolyzate instead of whole milk powder according to the procedure of the above example.
- vegetable hydrolysates and for chocolate applications, large soybean hydrolysates and rice hydrolysates were used. As a result, it was found that it is possible to produce allergen-free milk chocolate.
- the present invention As described above, according to the present invention, 1. Compared to the existing manufacturing method, it can be manufactured in an extremely short time, at a low cost, and in a sanitary manner.In other words, it takes about 2 to 3 days to finish from the raw material, roasted cacao nibs, to the chocolate before cooling and solidifying. In short, each step is a batch type, but in this manufacturing method, it is possible to finish the melted chocolate before cooling and solidification in just a few minutes, and it is done in a continuous type. In addition, by using vegetable hydrolyzate* instead of whole milk powder, it is possible to manufacture allergen-free chocolate. 3. It is possible to physically prevent Ordinary chocolate and cacao mass contain a large amount of viable bacteria, but the product according to the present invention is sterilized. It has been found to have many advantages, such as 0 to 300/g of the product of the present invention, while it is contained up to several tens of thousands/g.
- the particle size of the non-fat component is very fine, for example, in the case of a molded product with a mass of 50 g (dimensions of 100 mm ⁇ 150 mm ⁇ about 3 mm), normal cocoa mass takes time to completely dissolve. It takes 40 seconds to dissolve the product of the present invention in 35 seconds.

Abstract
Description
まず、図1に本発明のカカオ及び/又はカカオ加工品の摩砕処理食品素材の製造方法における工程の一例を示す。図1において、1)は、カカオニブ(カカオ、カカオ加工品)の粗粉砕、他の原料の分散及び混合を行う装置の一例である。1)は日本コークス工業株式会社「ヘンシェルミキサー」又は、株式会社カワタ「スーパーミキサー」を用いる事ができる。2)は、押出機であり、カカオニブ等を摩砕、他の原料の分散及び混合を行う装置の一例である。2)は日本製鋼株式会社2軸押出機「TEX」など2軸スクリュー、L/D30以上の押出機を用いる事ができる。3)-1は、連続式超高圧湿式微粒化装置であり、原料の微細化、乳化を行う装置の一例である。3)-1と3)-2は、微粉砕機であり、原料の微粉化を行う装置の一例である。3-1)は株式会社スギノマシン「スターバースト」を用いる事が望ましく、3)-2はミクロパウテック株式会社「エアタグミル」を用いる事が望ましい。4)は、成型機であり、原料の冷却固化、成型を行う装置の一例であり、トンネルフリーザーなど一定の冷却効果を持つものであれば、特にメーカーと機種を限定するものではない。また、図1において、1は液状、2は半固形状、3は一部の原料を回収、4は製品:ペレット、5は製品:チョコレート粉末、6は原料投入、7は投入機、8は粉砕機本体、9は微粉末回収器、10はサイクロン回収、11はフィルタータンク、12はフィルター払い落としエアー供給、13は誘引ブロア(排風機)、14は排気(室外)を、それぞれ示す。
次に、実施例1に記載の装置等を用いて、カカオ及び/又はカカオ加工品としてカカオニブを用いて、摩砕処理食品素材を得た。具体的に、図1の2)の押出機を用いて、摩砕処理食品素材を得た。また、当該摩砕処理食品素材中の非油脂成分の平均粒径について調べた。製造条件については、実施例1と同様とした。

次に、実施例2の押出機処理されたカカオニブの摩砕処理食品素材を、湿式微粉砕機により、さらに粉砕した摩砕処理食品素材について、平均粒径を調べた。その結果、本発明の摩砕処理食品素材中の非油脂成分の平均粒径は、2.26~13.24μmの範囲であり、平均粒径は、およそ5.7μmであることが分かった。平均粒径の測定には、方式として、レーザ回折式粒度分布測定を採用し、以下の装置等を用いて行った。

次に、実際に本発明の方法を用いて、カカオマス、チョコレート、及びチョコレート粉末を製造した。なお、カカオマスは、通常、カカオ豆を摩砕することによって得られ、油脂分を含み、ペースト状のものをいう。当該カカオマスに、砂糖、粉乳、ココアバターなどを加えるとチョコレートを得ることができる。具体的に、カカオマス又はチョコレートを、実施例1に記載の方法(図1の1)→2)→3)-1→4)の工程)に従って製造した。また、チョコレート粉末については、実施例1に記載の方法(図1の1)→2)→3)-2の工程)に従って製造した。このように製造した本発明によるカカオマス、及びチョコレート粉末について、一般性細菌について調査した。
次に、上述の実施例の手順に従って、本発明によって製造されたチョコレートの粒径についても調べた。図5は、本発明の一実施態様における摩砕処理食品素材を用いたチョコレートのマイクロスコープ撮影画像(30倍)を示す図である。また、図6は、本発明の一実施態様における摩砕処理食品素材を用いたチョコレートの写真を示す図である。油がほどよく分散しているために、非常に光沢を生じているのが分かる。良質なカカオマス・チョコレートの物理的定義とは、舌触り良く、滑らかである点、また官能的にはカカオ豆由来の良好なアロマを残し、悪質なアロマが除去されている点等が必要とされている。本発明の新規チョコレート連続製造法によって生産された“カカオマス”“チョコレート”は、以上の結果から、カカオ豆油脂(カカオバター)以外の組成物の非油脂成分の平均粒径が30μm以下であり、図5の新製法サンプルにおいては、その大半が10μm以下となっており、従来法以上に、いわゆる“滑らかな”製品を作れる事が実証された。
次に、上述の実施例の手順に従って、全粉乳の代わりに、植物性加水分解物を用いて、アレルゲンフリーチョコレートの製造を試みた。植物性加水分解物としては、またチョコレート用途には大手亡豆加水分解物と米加水分解物を用いた。この結果、アレルゲンフリーミルクチョコレート製造も可能で有ることが判明した。
