The present invention provides a process for producing confectionery highly stable to heat which can be eaten without being deformed, becoming sticky at the surface or sticking to each other while maintaining the original mouthfeel of chocolate. As a result of the present inventors' intensive studied, it has been found out that a process for producing confectionery highly stable to heat can be provided by making the surface of a refined chocolate paste absorb moisture or bringing chocolate into contact with a moisture-containing food material, and then baking.

Process for producing confectionery highly stable to heat

Coatings for bakery/confectionery use and coated cakes or breads. These coatings have transparency like glaze, and appearance and crispiness like fondant, and suffer from neither stickiness nor sugar-sagging with the passage of time after coating. Coatings for bakery/confectionery use comprising fat and sugar as the main components and containing coarse grains of non-fat components having a grain size of 50 &#x3bc;m or more; and a process for producing a coating for bakery/confectionery use characterized by heating materials, which comprise fat and sugar as the main components and contain coarse grains of non-fat components having a grain size of 50 &#x3bc;m or more, to the melting temperature of the fat or above and solidifying the same substantially without pulverizing.

The present invention provides a ganache-type chocolate composition outstanding in inclusion (mechanical) fitness when contained in confectionery dough, and moreover having good baking tolerance. The chocolate composition includes 1 to 30 wt. % non-fat cacao part, 10 to 50 wt. % fats/oils, 4 to 40 wt. % moisture and by anhydride conversion, 0.2 to 10 wt. % heat-coagulating proteins, and is in non-liquid at 5&deg; C. Chocolate confectionery may be easily manufactured by including or coating this chocolate composition in/on other confectionery dough. Moreover, separately baking the chocolate composition itself can provide chocolate confectionery having new tastes/textures.

Chocolate compositions and utilization thereof

There is disclosed an oily composition for inhibiting moisture migration in frozen food which includes 1- or 3-saturated diunsaturated triglycerides (SUU) and 2-unsaturated disaturated triglycerides (SUS) in a total amount thereof of at least 40% by weight based on the total weight of oil-and-fat ingredient of said composition and the weight ratio of SUU to SUS is 0.3 to 3.0 times. A frozen food including the above oily composition provided between a low moisture content-ingredient and a high-moisture content-ingredient is also disclosed.
