Abstract
The present invention relates to a stable emulsion of an aqueous phase in a lipid phase wherein non-fatty cocoa solids and/or non-fatty milk solids are present in the lipid phase. The present invention further relates to a process for making an emulsion, said process comprising adding the lipid phase in two steps.
Claims18
A process to produce an emulsion of an aqueous phase in a lipid phase, comprising the steps of:
- a. Providing a lipid phase and an aqueous phase, and
- b. Emulsifying the aqueous phase with part of the lipid phase to obtain a pre-emulsion of the aqueous phase in said part of the lipid phase, and
- c. Optionally cooling the pre-emulsion obtained in step b, and
- d. Adding part of the lipid phase under medium to low shear,
- characterized in that the part of the lipid phase in step d. comprises non-fatty cocoa solids and/or non-fatty milk solids.

A process to produce a water-in-oil emulsion of an aqueous phase in a lipid phase, comprising the steps of:
- i. providing (a) a first lipid phase comprising an emulsifier;
- and (b) an aqueous phase,
- ii. combining and emulsifying the aqueous phase with the first lipid phase to obtain a pre-emulsion of the aqueous phase in said lipid phase,
- iii. optionally cooling the pre-emulsion obtained in step ii, and
- iv. adding a second lipid phase comprising non-fatty cocoa solids and/or milk solids to the pre-emulsion to produce the water-in-oil emulsion.
