摘要:
Methods for producing center filled confections, such as gummy or jelly candies or fruit snacks are presented. For example, the confections can be continuously produced by co-deposition into a mold without candy tailing to obtain products with substantially uniform top and bottom walls and little, if any, shell breakage and liquid filling leakage or bleed-out problems. Excessive vertical decentering of the filling caused by substantial differences in specific gravity between the liquid filling component and the shell component and its accompanying production of thin or weak shell walls is substantially reduced or eliminated. A non-gellable liquid filling can be deposited vertically off-center within a gellable shell, and the amount of sinking or floating is controlled so as to achieve an at least substantially centered product. The filling migration can be limited by rapidly cooling the shell component below its gelling or setting temperature by use of a much colder filling component which itself does not gel or set at low temperatures.

A first product dispenser is provided and includes a first housing (12) sized to hold a plurality of comestible products, a second housing (14) sized to hold a plurality of the comestible products and a member (18) holding the first and second housings together so that the first and second housings can each be translated sequentially along the divider to dispense one of the products. A second product dispenser is provided and includes a housing sized to hold a plurality of the comestible products, the housing including a top (52) and a base (54) separated by a plurality of product dividers, and a belt (56) held by the housing so that an opening in the belt is manually and selectively able to be rotated into registry between the dividers to dispense one of the products.
摘要:
A method and apparatus are provided for forming miniature size confectionery products. The apparatus includes a rolling machine (12) for forming a mass of a confectionery product, such as bubble gum, into a thin, flat sheet. A conveyor belt (24) carries the flat sheet into a cooling tunnel (26) to cool the flat sheet. A forming device (28) comprising at least two forming rollers (40, 42) is used to form the cooled flat sheet into a webbed mat having a plurality of desired configurations thereon. After the formation of the webbed mat, the conveyor belt carries the webbed mat into a drum roller (32). The drum roller tumbles the webbed mat to break apart the webbed mat and form a plurality of miniature size confectionery products in the form of the desired configuration.

A pullulan-free edible film composition for oral cleansing, breath freshening, and anti-microbial benefits includes a film forming agent and Magnolia Bark extract. In a treatment process, effective amounts of Magnolia Bark extract is delivered to the oral cavity by the edible film for convenient oral cleansing and breath freshening benefits. A method of making the pullulan-free edible film composition includes forming an aqueous solution of film forming agents and Magnolia Bark extract and drying the aqueous solution to form a dry edible film.
摘要:
The present invention relates to speckled, coated chewing gums, particularly those comprising an oral care active. Many oral care actives do not provide an immediately noticeable benefit and a speckle on the outer coating can provide a signal to the user of a therapeutic effect. Preferred speckling is achieved by the use of a coloured flake applied in the final stages of the coating process. A method for applying the speckled coating is also disclosed. A second aspect of this invention relates to a coated chewing gum comprising incompatible actives one active, such as a hydrolysable polyphosphate salt, is provided within the chewing gum core and a further active, incompatible with the first, such as a fluoride ion source, is provided in the coating.
