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 a depth from a surface of the solid food at which an increase in total crystallization rate is zero or minimal is 1.1 mm or less, the increase in total crystallization rate being a difference of a crystal ratio with respect to a total weight at each depth from the surface of the solid food relative to a crystal ratio in an inner part of the solid food.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A solid food having a solid form obtained by compression molding a food powder, wherein a depth from a surface of the solid food at which an increase in total crystallization rate is zero or minimal is 1.1 mm or less, the increase in total crystallization rate being a difference of a crystal ratio with respect to a total weight at each depth from the surface of the solid food relative to a crystal ratio in an inner part of the solid food. 2 . The solid food according to claim 1 , wherein the depth from the surface of the solid food at which the increase in total crystallization rate is zero or minimal is 0.87 mm or less. 3 . A solid milk having a solid form obtained by compression molding a powdered milk, wherein a depth from a surface of the solid milk at which an increase in total crystallization rate is zero or minimal is 1.1 mm or less, the increase in total crystallization rate being a difference of a crystal ratio with respect to a total weight at each depth from the surface of the solid milk relative to a crystal ratio in an inner part of the solid milk. 4 . The solid milk according to claim 3 , wherein the depth from the surface of the solid milk at which the increase in total crystallization rate is zero or minimal is 0.87 mm or less.
