Abstract

The invention relates to a system (1) for conching edible mass, in particular cocoa containing mass, such as chocolate, cocoa liquor or compound, comprising a shear device, in particular a so-called taste-changer (14), in turn comprising a housing (16), a shaft (17) rotatably mounted in the housing (16), means (19, 20) for subjecting the edible mass to high shear stresses, means (21, 22) for spreading the edible mass after it has been subjected to high shear, and an inlet (24, 25) for supplying a gas to the spread edible mass. The system further comprises a thin film evaporator (15) to treat the edible mass exiting the shear device (14).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system for mixing an edible mass, in particular cocoa comprising a mass, such as chocolate, a cocoa drink or a compound, said system comprising a shearing device, in particular is a so-called taste changer, the shearing device in turn comprises a housing, a shaft rotatably mounted in the housing, means for subjecting the edible mass to high shear stress, means for subjecting the edible mass to high shear stress, Means for spreading the edible mass after being subjected to high shear, and an inlet for supplying gas (typically hot air) to the spreading edible mass to extract volatile components (eg organic acids) from the edible mass. The invention also relates to a method for mixing edible masses. Background technique [0002] As explained in US 2,348,473, over the years chocolate in its semi-plastic, semi-liquid state has been subjected to a treatment commonly referred to as mixing and churning, for the generally acc...
