    Abstract: A fat-based confectionery composition comprising a crystalline oligosaccharide. The crystalline oligosaccharide suitably has a melting point of at least 60°C. The crystalline oligosaccharide in the fat-based confectionery composition replaces at least a part of the added sugar content compared to a reference fat-based confectionery composition and therefore reduces the total sugars compared to said reference composition. The fat-based confectionery composition may therefore be considered a reduced sugar confectionery product. The fat-based confectionery composition may have a similar taste and texture to the reference composition, in particular a similar viscosity and mouthfeel to a reference "full sugar" composition. The fat-based confectionery composition may be used to reduce the calorie intake, especially the intake of sugars, in consumers and may therefore provide a health benefit to said consumers. A method for producing the fat-based confectionery composition is also provided.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a partially- filled confectionery shell comprising the steps of: a) depositing a solidifiable confectionery material into a mould cavity; b) moulding the solidifiable confectionery material within the mould cavity to form a confectionery shell; c) forming at least one separating member integral with and protruding from the confectionery shell which defines a boundary between at least two sections of the confectionery shell; and d) depositing an edible material into at least one section of the confectionery shell to form a partially-filled confectionery shell, wherein the at least one separating member prevents at least a portion of the edible material within a section from entering an adjacent section, and wherein no edible material is deposited into at least one section.

    Abstract: The invention provides a chocolate product comprising >18 wt.% natural lipid, >10 wt.% sugar and/or sugar replacer, and >5 wt.% of at least one cocoa ingredient selected from the group comprising: cocoa butter, cocoa liquor, cocoa powder, cocoa pulp, and combinations thereof, wherein at least one of the following conditions is satisfied: a. The product comprises more than 8 wt.% and no more than 9 wt.% saturated fat and ≤2.5 wt.% sugar; b. The product comprises more than 6 wt.% and no more than 8 wt.% saturated fat and ≤4.5 wt.% sugar; c. The product comprises more than 5 wt.% and no more than 6 wt.% saturated fat and ≤9 wt.% sugar; d. The product comprises more than 4 wt.% and no more than 5 wt.% saturated fat and ≤13.5 wt.% sugar; e. The product comprises more than 3 wt.% and no more than 4 wt.% saturated fat and ≤18 wt.% sugar; f. The product comprises more than 2 wt.% and no more than 3 wt.% saturated fat and ≤22.5 wt.% sugar; or g. The product comprises less than or equal to 2 wt.% saturated fat and ≤27 wt.% sugar; and wherein when the product satisfying any of conditions a-g comprises ≤10 wt.% sugar, the remainder of the total combined sugar and sugar replacer content is made up to >10 wt% with sugar replacer.

    Abstract: A method of predicting a temper level and/or a viscosity of a tempered mass, provided by tempering of a fat-containing, crystallisable mass, for example a chocolate mass, by flowing the mass successively through a temperer comprising an inlet, a crystallization stage to form crystals therein and a reheat stage to melt unstable crystals formed therein, is described. The method is implemented, at least in part, by a computer including a processor and a memory. The method comprises predicting the temper level and/or the viscosity of the tempered mass using a model, wherein the model relates the temper level and/or the viscosity of the tempered mass to one or more temperer process parameters. A method of controlling tempering and a temperer are also described.

    Abstract: A multi-function reel change tool (10) is provided for use with a robotic arm (20), such as a collaborative robotic arm, for changing film rolls on packaging equipment. The tool includes a first part (18) capable of acquiring, cradling, transporting and depositing a partially full or full reel of material by contacting an outer periphery of the reel and a second part (22) capable of acquiring, cradling, transporting and depositing the core of a spent or partially spent reel of material by contacting the outer periphery of the core of the spent reel or material or the outer periphery of the material remaining on a partially spent reel. Preferably, but not necessarily, the tool has no independently moveable components.
