A controlled melting point matrix is disclosed. The matrix is formed by admixing low melting point hydrophobic materials with a substantially amorphous material obtained from subjecting a feedstock to conditions of temperature and pressure which induce flash flow of the feedstock. The admixture is then subjected to conditions which induce at least partial crystallization of the substantially amorphous material thereby capturing the hydrophobic material and providing the controlled melting point matrix of the invention. Methods of producing a controlled melting point matrix are disclosed. Methods of using controlled melting point matrices to form improved comestibles are also disclosed.
A controlled melting point matrix which comprises an admixture of a substantially solid amorphous material processed by subjecting a feedstock to conditions of temperature and pressure which induce flash flow of said feedstock, and a hydrophobic material, said admixture subjected to conditions of temperature, pressure, and humidity which induce at least partial crystallization of said substantially amorphous material, whereby said hydrophobic material is captured during said partial crystallization to provide said matrix, said matrix having a slip point or flow point temperature higher than the respective slip point or flow point temperature of a mixture of said feedstock in a non-processed condition and said hydrophobic material.
An improved comestible comprising a controlled melting point matrix formed by admixing a substantially amorphous material processed by subjecting a feedstock to conditions of temperature and pressure which induce flash flow of said feedstock, with a hydrophobic material to form an admixture and subjecting said admixture to conditions which induce at least partial crystallization of said substantially amorphous material, whereby said hydrophobic material is captured during said partial crystallization to provide said matrix, said matrix having a flow point temperature higher than a flow point temperature of a mixture of said feedstock in a nonprocessed condition and said hydrophobic material.
