spherical particles , agglomerates of spherical particles , methods of producing spherical particles , food suspensions and consumable masses which have spherical particles , and food products which contain a food suspension and / or a consumable mass are disclosed . the particles contain a matrix material composed of an amorphously solidified biopolymer , preferably having a dextrose equivalent greater than 20 and having an equilibrium water content preferably less than 10 wt %. the solid particles and / or liquid and / or gas volumes are embedded in the matrix material . the food suspension contains a substantially homogeneous carrier material in which spherical particles are embedded . a consumable mass comprises an agglomerate of particles where some of the particles are spherical particles . use of embedded cocoa particles reduces the roughness of the cocoa particles and a flow point white eliminating the need for emulsifiers . this allows up to a 50 % reduction of the fat phase and production of a low - calorie chocolate product .
