Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are a solid food and a solid milk which have a suitable adhesive force 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, the solid food containing monohydrate crystals and anhydride crystals, in which an increase ratio β/(α+β) of a crystallization rate of an increase β (% by weight) in crystallization rate that is a difference of a ratio of the anhydride crystals with respect to a total weight on a surface of the solid food relative to a ratio of the anhydride crystals in an inner part of the solid food to the sum (α+β) of an increase α (% by weight) in crystallization rate that is a difference of a ratio of the monohydrate crystals with respect to the total weight on the surface of the solid food relative to a ratio of the monohydrate crystals in the inner part of the solid food and the increase β (% by weight) in crystallization rate is 0.15 or more, and a peel and shear stress on a flat face is 0.020 N/mm 2 or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A solid food having a solid form obtained by compression molding a food powder, the solid food comprising monohydrate crystals and anhydride crystals, wherein an increase ratio β/(α+β) of a crystallization rate of an increase β (% by weight) in crystallization rate that is a difference of a ratio of the anhydride crystals with respect to a total weight on a surface of the solid food relative to a ratio of the anhydride crystals in an inner part of the solid food to the sum (α+β) of an increase α (% by weight) in crystallization rate that is a difference of a ratio of the monohydrate crystals with respect to the total weight on the surface of the solid food relative to a ratio of the monohydrate crystals in the inner part of the solid food and the increase β (% by weight) in crystallization rate is 0.15 or more, and a peel and shear stress on a flat face is 0.020 N/mm 2 or less. 2 . The solid food according to claim 1 , wherein the increase α in crystallization rate is 2.5% by weight or less. 3 . A solid milk having a solid form obtained by compression molding a powdered milk, the solid milk comprising α-lactose crystals and β-lactose crystals, wherein an increase ratio β/(α+β) of a crystallization rate of an increase β (% by weight) in crystallization rate that is a difference of a ratio of the β-lactose crystals with respect to a total weight on a surface of the solid milk relative to a ratio of the β-lactose crystals in an inner part of the solid milk to the sum (α+β) of an increase α (% by weight) in crystallization rate that is a difference of a ratio of the α-lactose crystals with respect to the total weight on the surface of the solid milk relative to a ratio of the α-lactose crystals in the inner part of the solid milk and the increase β (% by weight) in crystallization rate is 0.15 or more, and a peel and shear stress on a flat face is 0.020 N/mm 2 or less. 4 . The solid milk according to claim 3 , wherein the increase α in crystallization rate is 2.5% by weight or less.
