摘要:
The present invention relates to a confectionery product including an extruded body portion; and a plurality of capillaries disposed in the extruded body portion, in which the body portion includes a mixture of confectionery compositions, particularly, a hard candy composition and a chewing gum composition. The invention also relates to a process of manufacturing the same.
摘要:
The invention relates to a confectionery product comprising an extruded body portion, the body portion having a plurality of capillaries disposed therein, one or more of the capillaries being at least partially filled with a fill material which is a different material from that of the extruded body portion, the fill material and optionally the body portion comprising various active and/or reactive components. Some embodiments are designed to provide sequential release profiles. The invention also relates to a process for the manufacture of the same.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a consumable product comprising an extruded body portion, the body portion being formed with a plurality of capillaries disposed therein, wherein the capillaries have a non-uniform cross section along their length. The present invention also provides a method of producing the same.
摘要:
A method of extruding products comprises varying the rate of flow of at least one material (12) through an extrusion aperture in a die (10). The method may be used to produce an extrudate body (16) whose cross-sectional area varies along its length or to produce an extrudate body comprising two or more different materials in which the proportions of the materials varies along its length. Apparatus (11) for carrying out the method comprises an extrusion die (10) defining an extrusion aperture and a material delivery system for delivering the material(s) to the die in a suitable condition for extrusion. A control system is operative to vary the rate of flow of the material. The control system may comprise a flow control mechanism (240) in a supply path for the first material upstream from the die (10). The flow control mechanism (240) may be operative to vary the volume of the supply path and may comprise a fluid actuated resiliently deformable flexible element. The method and apparatus are particularly suited for manufacturing food products, especially confectionery products such as chocolate bars.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing products comprising an outer casing of a first material (12) and containing at least one chamber (18) filled with a second material (14) comprises extruding the first material through a die (10) to form an extrudate body (16) and delivering the second material through at least one fluid outlet (22) in the die to form the least one filled chamber. The extrusion process is varied periodically and momentarily to produce sections (30) of extrudate body having no filled chamber. In one embodiment, the flow of the second material (14) is periodically reduced to form the unfilled sections. The flow of the second material (14) may be reduced by increasing the volume of a supply path for the second material upstream from the die (10). Apparatus for carrying out the method is also disclosed. The method and apparatus are particularly adapted for producing food, and especially confectionery, products.
摘要:
A flexible laminated packaging material (100) comprises a plurality of layers, at least two of which are bonded together by a layer of adhesive (108). A first layer (113) comprises a continuous metallic foil (110) and a second layer (111) comprises a continuous web of material incorporating or coated with a laser retardant additive (106). The material may be scored or cut with a laser (114, 118) so as to produce offset scores or cuts (122, 124) wherein a first cut (124) is made through the first layer (113), but not past the second layer (111) and a second cut (122) is made through the second layer (111), but not past the first layer (113). The laser retardant additive (106) attenuates the power of the laser to help control the depth of the cuts. A method of producing the material by laminating the first and second layers using an adhesive is also disclosed. The method may comprise applying a laser beam to the first web so as to score or cut the first web, but not the second web; and applying a laser beam to the second web so as to score of cut the second web, but not the first web.
摘要:
A packaging container (10) formed from at least one blank of foldable material has a base (16) and side walls (18) which define an interior volume in which packaged products (26) are contained for transport and display purposes. The base has a plurality of inwardly extending protrusions (74) for engagement with the products to prevent them slipping whilst on display. The protrusions (74) may be formed by embossing the base or by means of die-cut tabs in the base which are pressed inwardly. The container (10) may be transported and/or stored on its side or whilst inverted so that the products do not flatten the protrusions.
摘要:
The invention relates to a chewing gum product comprising an extruded body portion, the body portion having a plurality of capillaries disposed therein, one or more capillaries being at least partially filled with a fill material and the body portion and/or the fill material comprising gum. The invention also relates to a process of manufacturing the same.
