Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016068774A1] The invention relates to a method for obtaining a chocolate having improved bloom stability. The method comprises the steps of providing a chocolate comprising a specified fat composition (C1 ). The fat composition comprises 60.0-95.0 wt% symmetrical triglycerides having C16-C22 saturated fatty acids in the sn-1 and sn-3 positions and oleic acid in the sn-2 position. The fat composition further comprises of 0.1 -5 wt% of an emulsifier not being lecithin. The chocolate stream enters a heating zone (1 ), wherein the chocolate is completely melted. The chocolate is split into a first chocolate stream (C2) and at least one further chocolate stream (C3). The first chocolate stream (C2) is passed through a crystallization zone (2), wherein the chocolate is subjected to a specified temperature and shear rate. The chocolate streams C2 and C3 are fed into a mixing zone (3), wherein the mixing takes place at a specified temperature to produce mixed chocolate product stream C4.
