Patent ID: 8114456

Claim:
A sweet with a long shelf-life in the form of a soft, creamy, form-stable and foamed mass, comprising milk components, said sweet having a milk protein content of 5.5 to 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the sweet, a fat-free dry milk mass of 14 to 55% by weight, based on the total weight of the sweet, and a degree of denaturation of the whey proteins 10%, edible fats, at least part of said edible fat being contained in crystallized form at room temperature, sugar and/or sugar substitutes, said sweet not containing any lactose crystals that can be perceived by the consumer, and water, wherein edible fat agglomerates in crystallized or non-crystallized form have a volume-related particle size D50,3 of 3.5 to 18 μm such that 50% of the particle volume is taken up by agglomerates that are smaller than 3.5 to 18 μm which cause improved stability of structure and lowers segregation tendency of said foamed mass.
