摘要： The gasified sweet with a spherical shape or any other regular or irregular shape, incorporating or not incorporating a stick of plastic or other suitable material, and producing small popping noises resembling the bursting of the bubbles in gasified drinks, is obtained continuously and automatically by means of machines for the formation of the caramel stick, for calibration and stamping-out, optionally with introduction of the stick, and for cooling, which are subjected to pressurisation at certain pressures greater than atmospheric pressure, and preferably between 10.1525 and 81.06 bar. The successive stages of the process take place continuously inside pressurised containers, from the instant when the molten and gasified caramel mass is present in the initial container until the instant when the gasified sweet with a stick is completely crystallised, its internal temperature being below 30oC. Due to the fact that the occluded gas ruptures the protective film when the hard sweet is consumed, the latter produces, in a uniform and continuous fashion, a hissing resembling the popping noises produced by the bursting of the bubbles in refreshing, gasified drinks, without producing strong cracks which would break the piece of confection attached or not attached to the stick.
