Abstract
A crumb-flavored milk composition is prepared by incorporating free fatty acids selected from the group consisting of oleic acid, linoleic acid and .alpha.-linolenic acid, or by incorporating a lysolecithin lysate or a milk treated with a modified lipase which preferentially releases unsaturated long-chain fatty acids.
Claims9
A process for preparing a crumb-flavored milk chocolate composition comprising:
- adding free fatty acids to a milk powder, wherein the fatty acids are in a solid state when added to the milk powder and are selected from the group consisting of oleic acid, linoleic acid and .alpha.-linolenic acid;
- mixing the milk powder and added fatty acids at a temperature below the melting point of the fatty acids;
- and
- combining a crumb-flavoring amount of the mixed milk powder and fatty acids with cocoa powder, cocoa butter, sugar and lecithin to obtain a crumb-flavored milk chocolate composition.

A process for preparing a crumb-flavored milk chocolate composition comprising:
- treating a lecithin with phospholipase A2 to obtain a lysolecithin lysate;
- treating the lysate with a protease to inactivate the phospholipase A2 and heating the protease-treated lysate to inactivate the protease;
- and
- combining a crumb-flavoring amount of the lysate with milk powder, cocoa powder, cocoa butter, sugar and lecithin to obtain a crumb-flavored milk chocolate composition.

A process for preparing a crumb-flavored milk chocolate composition comprising:
- incubating a milk with a modified lipase which preferentially releases unsaturated long-chain fatty acids;
- drying the incubated milk to obtain a lipolyzed powder;
- and
- combining a crumb-flavoring amount of the lipolyzed powder with cocoa powder, cocoa butter, sugar and lecithin to obtain a crumb-flavored milk chocolate composition.
