Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided are a solid food and a solid milk which have suitable solubility and strength adequate to resist breakage during handling. The solid food is a solid food having a solid form obtained by compression molding a food powder, in which an increase in total crystallization rate that is a difference of a crystal ratio with respect to a total weight on a surface of the solid food relative to a crystal ratio in an inner part of the solid food is 0.1% by weight or less. Further, a depth from the surface of the solid food at which the increase in total crystallization rate is zero or minimal is 0.2 mm or less.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1 . A solid milk having a solid form obtained by compression molding a powdered milk, wherein an increase in total crystallization rate that is a difference in weight (% by weight) of α-lactose crystals and β-lactose crystals per unit weight on a surface of the solid milk relative to weight (% by weight) of α-lactose crystals and β-lactose crystals per unit weight in an inner part of the solid milk is 0.1% by weight or less, and wherein a surface layer of the solid milk is a harder layer than the inner part, where the surface layer includes the surface, and wherein a depth from the surface of the solid milk at which the increase in total crystallization rate is zero to 0.1% is 0.2 mm or less. 2 . The solid milk according to claim 1 , wherein a depth from the surface of the solid milk at which the increase in total crystallization rate is zero is 0.2 mm or less.
