Abstract
Provided are a solid food and a solid milk which have suitable solubility and strength adequate to resist breakage during handling. The solid food is a solid food having a solid form obtained by compression molding a food powder, in which an increase Ya (% by weight) in total crystallization rate that is a difference of a crystal ratio with respect to a total weight at a depth Xa (mm) from a surface of the solid food relative to a crystal ratio in an inner part of the solid food satisfies the following Formula (1A), Ya<−5.24Xa+6.65 (1A)
Claims2
A solid milk having a solid form obtained by compression molding a powdered milk and performing a hardening treatment, wherein an increase Yb (% by weight) in total crystallization rate that is a difference of a crystal ratio with respect to a total weight at a depth Xb (mm) from a surface of the solid milk relative to a crystal ratio in an inner part of the solid milk is 3.1% by weight or less when Xb (mm) is 0.2 mm or more and less than 0.3 mm, 2.3% by weight or less when Xb (mm) is 0.3 mm or more and less than 0.4 mm, and 1.0% by weight or less when Xb (mm) is 0.7 mm or more and less than 0.8 mm, wherein
- a surface layer of the solid milk is a harder layer than the inner part, wherein the surface layer includes the surface.
