Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for the preparation of a gummy and candy composition containing curcuminoids. Also disclosed is a gummy and candy composition containing effective concentration of curcuminoids that is palatable and bioavailable.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a system for forming and cooling gum, the system including a forming system configured to size the gum to include a substantially uniform thickness, a cooling device that is disposed in-line with the forming system and configured to continuously receive the gum from the forming system at an entry point of the cooling device, and a multi-pass conveying system configured to continuously transport the gum from the entry point to an exit point of the cooling device, the forming system and the cooling device being configured to form and cool the gum to be in a condition for stacking or collecting upon exiting the exit point of the cooling device.
Abstract:
Microemulsions incorporated into gummy confections are described where hydrophobic liquid droplets are distributed in a continuous hydrophilic liquid phase. In relation to conventional oil-in-water (OIW) microemulsions, prior to incorporation into the gummy confections the described microemulsions may be thought of as modified oil-in-water (MOIW) microemulsions, where both the “oil” and “water” phases of the microemulsion are modified. The oil phase droplets of the MOIW microemulsion are modified with alcohol and can better deliver oil-soluble species to the bloodstream than can oil blends or the oil phases of conventional oil-in-water (OIW) microemulsions. The polar continuous “water” phase of the MOIW microemulsion is modified with a sugar or sugar alcohol. The modified oil phase droplets disperse into the modified polar continuous phase of the MOIW microemulsion prior to incorporation into the gummy confection.
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for making strips of edible material. Edible material is contained in a hopper having a discharge opening including a first side and a second side. A discharge shaping roller is positioned so that its surface is adjacent to the first side and said second side. Similarly, a cooling roller is also positioned so that its surface is adjacent to the first side and the second side. Edible material passes between the first side, the second side, the cooling roller, and the discharge roller to from a strip of edible material that is deposited on the cooling roller. The cooling roller then cools the strip of edible material and it is separated from the cooling roller by a blade. Once the strip is separated from the cooling roller it is deposited on a base of edible material such as a cookie or wafer.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a hard candy comprising a mixture of sugars composed of glucose and non-fructosylated α-galacto-oligosaccharides in particular proportions. It also concerns a method of manufacturing said candies, as well as the utilization, for manufacturing a hard candy, of a composition that includes the aforementioned mixture.
Abstract:
A marshmallow candy includes a marshmallow that has been dried or cooked to a taffy-like consistency. In the dried state, the marshmallow candy is sufficiently hard to the touch such that the marshmallow candy resists flexing when squeezed. The marshmallow candy then becomes chewy upon consumption. The marshmallow candy can be colored or shaped to be aesthetically pleasing for consumers.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a food material essentially consisting of isomalt, characterised in that it includes the steps of extruding and melting the material by raising the temperature to 80° C. to 160° C., preferably 150° C. to 160° C., tempering so as to obtain the material in the stable crystalline form thereof and to eliminate bubbles in the material, and pouring or injecting into moulds. Application of the material obtained as a container.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of forming gum, the method including providing a pair of moving walls including a first wall and a second wall; and sizing a gum mass into a gum sheet having a substantially uniform thickness between about 0.3 mm to 10 mm using the pair of walls, the gum mass maintaining substantially continuous contact with at least one of the walls before and after the sizing.
Abstract:
A method is described which increases the efficiency of making frosting flowers through the means of utilizing multiple flower nails simultaneously held by hand thereby increasing the rate of their production.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the manufacture of foods, in particular to aerated confectionery products, like marshmallow-type products, to foam structuring compositions, and methods for preparing them. Provided is an aerated confectionery product having a density up to 0.5 g/cm3, the product comprising as foam structuring composition a combination of (i) a native potato protein; (ii) a gelling starch; and (iii) a highly branched starch (HBS) obtained by treatment of starch or a starch derivative with glycogen branching enzyme (EC 2.4.1.18), and wherein said HBS has a molecular branching degree of at least 6%, wherein the molecular branching degree is defined as the percentage of α-1,6 glycosidic linkages of the total of α-1,6 and α-1,4 glycosidic linkages ((α-1,6/(α-1,6+α-1,4)*100%).
