A lipophilic mass is liquefied or ground to a powder and there is incorporated therein by blending a foam of fine air or gas bubbles in water, then it is allowed to cool and degas. The foam is stabilized by the addition of a foamer, for instance an amphipatic surfactant, and may contain viscosity enhancers and thickeners. The method is applied to the hydration of chocolate in order to improve its storage stability and heat resistance; the foamer can be a whipped solution of egg-white or of esters of fatty acids with polyols.

A method for intimately and homogeneously incorporating water into lipophilic materials containing physiologically acceptable fats, comprising the steps of thoroughly blending said material brought to a fluidized state with a foam consisting of fine bubbles of air or of a physiologically acceptable gas dispersed in said water, then removing the air or gas from the blend p1 wherein the foam is obtained by whipping an aqueous solution of a physiologically acceptable foaming agent in the presence of air or a gas, or by pressure-dissolving said air or gas in the solution and releasing suddenly the pressure, said foamers having sufficient foaming capacity to provide aqueous foams of density 0.2 g/cm3 and wherein said foaming agent is an amphipatic compound comprising at least a hydrophilic group and a hydrophobic lipophilic group said lipophilic group containing the lipophilic material, thus enabling the water in the foam to become intimately mixed with the lipophilic material.
