Spherical particle, and food suspensions and consumable masses having spherical particles

A food suspension, wherein the food suspension comprises a substantially homogeneous carrier material into which spherical particles and/or agglomerates of spherical particles are embedded,

• wherein the spherical particles comprise a matrix material of an amorphously solidified biopolymer.

A consumable mass comprising an agglomerate of particles, wherein at least some of the particles are spherical particles having a matrix material of an amorphously solidified biopolymer and/or agglomerates of spherical particles.

A food suspension which has solid particles suspended in a fatty phase, and which comprises to an extent of more than 90% constituents selected from the group consisting of cocoa butter, sugar and cocoa,

• wherein the consumable mass comprises less than 50% by volume of cocoa butter and the yield point (T0) at 40° C. is less than 10 Pa.

A spherical particle for producing a food product,

• wherein the particle comprises a matrix material of an amorphously solidified biopolymer,
• the matrix material has an equilibrium water content of less than 10% by weight, and
• solid particles and/or volumes of liquid and/or volumes of gas are embedded into the matrix material.
