BLOOM-PREVENTING AGENT AND CHOCOLATE HAVING EXCELLENT BLOOM RESISTANCE

摘要

PURPOSE: To provide a bloom-preventing agent composed of a diglyceride containing plural residues of a specific fatty acid in one molecule, effective for suppressing the generation of fat bloom, having excellent palatability and meltability in the palate and suitable for the preparation of chocolate, etc. ;CONSTITUTION: The objective bloom-preventing agent is composed of a diglyceride containing one or more constituent fatty acids consisting of 16-22C saturated fatty acid (e.g. palmitic acid) or 16-22C trans-type unsaturated fatty acid (e.g. elaidic acid) in one molecule. A chocolate having excellent commercial value can be produced by adding 5-50% (based on the total oil and fat component of the chocolate) of the diglyceride or hard butter containing the diglyceride.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1993,JPO&Japio
