Abstract:
A chewy confectionery product having a cylindrical shape. The chewy confectionery product is substantially free of wheat and traditional texturizing agents such as gelatin, starch and albumin and is able to retain its shape for an extended period of time.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of a confectionery composition and compositions producible by the process. The process comprises providing a first sheet (10) of edible film having a plurality of first recesses (12) therein and a second sheet (22) of edible film, optionally having a plurality of second recesses (24) therein. A liquid filling (18) is supplied to the first recesses (12) and then sealed between the first and second sheets (10, 22) to form capsules (26). Molten chocolate (14) may be applied to the first recesses and/or the second recesses before the liquid filling. The capsules may be placed in a chocolate shell.
Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
In a low temperature casting process for producing confectionary articles on a Mogul unit, wherein swellable or soluble starch particles are mixed in a liquid phase and then this mixture is cast, wherein the starch particles do not swell or dissolve substantially until after casting, characterized in that, after mixing the solid phase with the liquid phase, the residence time of the casting mass is set in such a manner that the maximum tM of the residence time spectrum immediately after mixing the solid phase with the liquid phase is H of this residence time spectrum is
Abstract:
Edible wafer container, for sweet or savory food products, comprising: - a body (14) defining a first internal compartment (20) for a gift object (12) and a second separated compartment (26) for a food filling; - a closing element (16) for closing both the first (20) and second compartment (26); - closing means (38) provided in the body (14) and/or in the closing element (16) to cooperate with the second compartment (26) in order to stably associate the body (14) with the closing element (16), wherein the body (14) and the closing element (16) comprise sealing means (53, 54, 57, 58) able to cooperate with the closing means (38) and conformed to interfere mechanically in a reciprocal manner and to prevent the leakage of the filling from the second compartment (26) into the first compartment (20) and outside the container.
Abstract:
Center-filled confectionery products and methods of making center-filled confectionery products are provided. In an embodiment, the present invention provides a confectionery product comprising a fat-based confectionery shell surrounding a filling. The confectionery shell comprises a plurality of segments having different colors and/or flavors.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compositions for a center-filled confectionery or chewing gum product. The individual confectionery or gum pieces include a center-fill composition surrounded by a confectionery or gum region and optionally further surrounded by a coating. The center-fill composition includes a fluid carrier and saccharide particles suspended therein, which impart an enhanced cooling and/or textural perception upon consumption.
