CONFECTION FILLED WITH GASIFIED CARAMEL AND PROCESS FOR OBTAINING THE SAME ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A process for obtaining a confection filled with gasified caramel in which the initial caraiiel mass is at a temperature between about 90 and 150 C and at a degree of moisture below equilibrium moisture of the resulting gasified caramel. After adding essences and/or colorants and deoositing the mass in molds, cavities of a volume of 0.2 to 20 ml are punched in the two parts of the caramel mass disposed in the molds. The molds are then cooled to a temperture below 50 C, with chips of gasified caramel alone or mixed with chewing gum being placed into the cavities formed in the molds. Before the two comolementary molds are joined, an adhesive is applied to the parts of the caramel mass disposed in the molds. The caramel is then removed from S, the molds. The caramel which has been filled with gasified caramel either 4' S alone or mixed ,ith chewing gum, may be provided with a stick. The gasified caramel is protected from moisture, thereby simplifying the wrapping thereof.
e tt o0 a 9 t -2- SJS/415P xI BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a confection or caramel filled, in turn, with gasified caramel, and also to a process for obtaining such a confection or caramel thus-filled with gasified caramel.
Numerous patents have been published on production of caramels, chewing gum, and chocolates in which an inert gas has been introduced during the liquid or pasty state thereof, whereby products of lower density and therefore with a lower cost per volume or with different sensations, are obtained. However, in none of these patents is the gas retained inside the mass, which is the point of distinction of a "pop" caramel.
The first patent which appeared on introduction of a gas in a mixture of melted sugars, which gas when left to cool would remain occluded therein poP and would 4-when released, was U.S. patent no 3,012,893, filed January 6, 1959. In May 21, 1979 the same inventors of the presert aoplication cited for the first time the importance of diameter of bubbles of occluded gas (Spanish Patent No. 480,775).
o A gasified caramel is a mixture of various sugars in which, in a ,oo: semi-liquid or pasty state, an inert gas under pressure has been incorporated. The chips of caramel are highly hygroscopic, so that the mere contact thereof with surrounding atmosphere causes the caramel to absorb moisture and to break down, because the caramel is compressed and the moisture absorbed is sufficient to release the occlued gas. This is why the t' caramels must have an absolute barrier against moisture when packed.
By means of the patents on gasified caramel noted above, a product S'l with a very varied granulation is obtained, ranging from about 0.01 mm to mm or even larger pieces. This product thus-obtained is screened to make use of the pieces between 0.5 and 4.5 mm. Presently, this product is packed S' in unit envelopes containing 4 to 10 grams per bag. A child's sensation is very short, as a child consumes the contents of a bag in a very short time and discards the same. This is one of the shortcomings of the product, as its packing is an aluminum foil of 8 or 9 microns in thickness and a thermo-weldable layer to obtain an absolute barrier to moisture. This makes the end product more expensive without any benefit for a child consuming the product who must pay a high price for the wrapper that this product requires.
At present, caramels are found on the market which are provided with sticks, are filled with various liquid products, solids, effervescent powders, etc. The manner of adding these products is by way of a pressure f pump which introduces the product to be filled into a strip of caramel -3- SJS/415P IJj before passing through a sizer and a stamping press. By this method, it is impossible to introduce chips of gasified caramel, since the pressure at which the pump operates causes the chips of gasified chemical to break because of their great fragility, thus converting the chips to powder.
Thus, the chips lose their "popping" sensation when placed in the mouth, since thie pieces smaller than 1 mm. give a weak "hissing sensation" but not one of popping.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to improve over the drawbacks described above, in preparing a confection provided with gasified caramel, notably in the interior thereof.
This and other objects of the present invention which will become apparent herein, are attained by the present invention. There is disclosed a method for obtaining a confection filled with gasified caramel comprising the steps of: preparing an initial caramel mass having a temperature between 90'C and 150°C and a degree of moisture lower than the equilibrium moisture of said gasified caramel; (b) including in said mass at least one additive which is an essence or a colourant; proportioning two parts of said caramel mass and So 20 depositing said two parts in complementary hollow molds; punching cavities of a volume of 0.2 to 20 ml in said two parts of caramel mass *a disposed in said complementary molds; cooling said molds to a temperature below 50 0 C; placing chips of gasified caramel alone or mixed w&;th chewing gum and with a grain size between 0.2 and 10 mm and in a quantity of 0.2 to 15 grams in said cavities punched in said two parts; applying an adhesive to said two parts of said caramel mass disposed in said molds; joining said two complementary molds together to produce union of said two parts of said caramel mass; and removing a thus-obtained caramel from said mold.
a conventional caramel mass obtained by the process described above, and a into which chips of gasified caramel or gasified caramel mixture with chewing gum, are deposited. More specifically, the present invention relates to preparation of a caramel with or without a stick, in hollow form and filled with chips of caramel or caramel mixed with chewing gum, in a manner such that the caramel or confection suffers no damage and preserves all of the characteristics of "popping" during the manufacturing process, and furthermore which is stable without need to use a special packing.
-4- \SfI/ 1602d ell, The process in practice preferably involves preparing a caramel mass according to the "conventional" methods described above, but with preference being given to a mass whose dropping point is as low as possible, in order to thus cool the mass as quickly as possible, resulting in increased production and savings of energy. This caramel mass has a temperature of about 1350C and a moisture of approximately 2%
(KF).
After the caramel mass has been obtained, sticks are introduced into the mold automatically. The caramel mass is proportioned over molds by means of a system which, in the confection industry, is known as "depositing". These molds are constituted by two hollow parts, into one of which a stick may be inserted. The two pieces can be filled with different colors and flavours.
These now-molded and punched pieces are then cooled to a temperature of about 30 0 C to 380C by passage of the mold chain through a cold tunnel. It is desirable that the initial mass for making the deposit of the caramel has a temperature as low as possible. Final temperatures higher than 38 0 C would break down the gasified caramel.
Mixtures of sugars whose deposition temperature is low can be used, 0o! 20 allowing the molded pieces of caramel to be cooled faster and therefore o o oincreasing the production.
Once the pieces are molded and at a temperature of 300C to 38°C, the chips of gasified caramel, either alone or mixed with chewing gum, o are added inside the cavity of the thus-molded piece. Thereafter, the two pieces are joined, whereby the gasified caramel remains inside the confection and is well-protected from the surrounding moisture, since ethere is a layer of caramel which insulates the same.
:m as The place of union or joint of the two molded pieces is sealed by a *mass of molten caramel or a product suitable for consumption, and which fulfills conditions of providing a moisture barrier and is stable over 0, time, such as, waxes, sorbitol, laquers, etc. To better insure hermeticity, it is desirable to form a ring of caramel at the weld point.
To finish the process, at the end the conveyor belt reverses, the molds open, and the caramels are caused to fall onto another conveyor belt.
With the present invention, three important advantages are achieved: The use of aluminium foil wrapping which is expensive, is avoided, and as the caramel mass itself with the characteristics which will be set STA/1602d forth in greater detail below provides a sufficent barrier to moisture for the chips of gasified caramel that are situated inside the piece, so that the end product can be wrapped in any paper; A new product has been obtained which is presently unknown, e.g.
to a child, since a child is only presen:ly aware of a gasified caramel containing only small chips of caramel with "pops" inside a small sack; and A transparent caramel can be obtained, so that an individual can actually see chips of gasified caramel inside the confection.
In the process of the present invention, the initial caramel mass preferably has a dropping point between about 40 and 150 C, while the degree of moisture of the caramel mass is preferably between about 0.5 and most preferably, between about 1.5 and The two complementary molds may be alike, or they may be different from one another. Furthermore, the essences and colorants which are added to the caramel mass in the two different parts disposed in the complementary molds may be alike, or alternatively different essences and colorants may be added in each individual part of the caramel mass from the other part. The temperature to which the molds are cooled after the caramel mass has been deposited, is preferably between about 30 and 38 C, while the volume of the cavities punched in each mold is preferably between about 1.5 and 4.0 ml.
Grain size of the molten caramel placed in the thus-punched cavity is preferably between about 0,5 and 4.5 mm, while Quantity of this caramel that is placed inside the cavities is preferably about 1 to 3 grams.
Futhermore, walls of the outer caramel mass in which the cavities have been punched are preferably between about 2 and 4 mm thick. In particular, the walls of the outer caramel are thicker in the part where a stick might be inserted.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS For better understanding of what has been set forth herein, reference will be made to the accompanying drawings in which, schematically and by way of non-limiting examples, practical cases of the present invention are represented. It is not at all intended to limit the scope of the present invention herein to the specific embodiments illustrated in the drawings.
More specifically, in the drawings, Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a process for preparing a confection or caramel mass of a conventional type; Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the process of the present invention herein; Fig. 3 illustrates an embodiment of a caramel prepared in accordance -6- SJS/415P 1with the present invention; Figs. 4 and 5 are graphs illustrating intensity of sound in decibels along ordinates thereof of the "pops" in two variance of underwater transmission and transmission in air respectively, of caramels or confection prepared in accordance with the present invention herein.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The caramel mass of the present invention may be prepared according to the conventional method illustrated in Fig. 1. More specifically, the preparation is essentially constituted by mixing sugars and water in a reactor 1 with slight heating, making a predissolution in a reactor 2 by heating and agitation, heating to a high temperature in a boiling chamber 3 provided with a coil 4; making a pre-,ac-umiby means of rotors 5, with water being extracted and the eaFRm;L becoming more concentrated; and drying the caramel mass approximately 2% moisture in a vacuum cnamoer 6.
Finally, the proportioning is accomplished by adding at 7 essences and colorants, with the mass being agitated at 8, followed by passing to the molding on a first conveyor belt 9, upon which removal from the mold is carried out at 10, and the caramel removed from the mold is passed to another conveyor belt 11.
Automatic placing of sticks 12, 13 in the molds 14, 15 can be seen in Fig. 2. The caramel mass is proportioned 16 over the molds by a system which, at the confectionery industry, is known as "depositing". Thereafter, the cavities are punched in the caramel at 17. These now-molded and punched pieces of caramel must be cooled to a temperature of about 30 to 38 C by passage of the mold chain 18 through a cold tunnel. After the pieces are molded and at a temperature of about 30 to 38 C, the chips of gasified caramel, either alone or mixed wih chewing gum, are added into the cavity of the molded piece. Then, an adhesive is applied at 19 to the two parts of the caramel mass in the molds 14 and Later, the two pieces are joined at 20, so that the gasified caramel 3 remains inside the confection and is well-protected from the surrounding S- moisture, since there is a layer of caramel which insulates the same. The place of union or joint of the two pieces is sealed with a mass of molten caramel or a product suitable for consumption, and which fulfills the conditions of providing a moisture barrier. To finish, at the end the belt reverses at 21, the molds open at 22, and the thus-molded caramels are caused to fall onto a conveyor belt 22a.
Fig. 3 illustrates a caramel 23 provided with a stick 24 and with an inner cavity 25 in accordance with the present invention. Gasified caramel y -7- SJs41 SP rl i, is present in the inner cavity 25 of the confection or caramels illustrated in Fig. 3 herein.
The present invention will be described in greater detail by way of the following examples: EXAMPLE 1 In a "Caramix" installation with "Triple Rotocooker" of the TER BRAAK Company, a saccharose:glucose mixture was prepared in a proportion of 70:30, obtaining a caramel syrup with a final moisture of 2% and a final temperature of 135 C. Essence and colorant were added. The resulting product was deposited by the method which, in the confectionery industry, is termed "pouring" or "depositing" on a suitably-ccoied belt which contains molds with two hemispherical and hollow parts, and in one of which a stick has been introduced previously if desired, as illustrated in the process of Fig. 2 in the present case. The introduction of the stick as well as the geometrical form of the mold are entirely discretional.
The caramel was then punched inside the mold, to leave a hollow part of a capacity of about 3.8 ml. The caramel mass was then cooled to a temperature of approximately 38 C by passage of the conveyor chain through a cooling tunnel. Then, two grams of caramel chips were added. The two caramel parts were joined and strapped together with a mixture of molten fructose:sorbitol in a proportion of 90:10, and with the very same mixture forming a ring around the resulting joint. There was a mechanism for stripping the piece at the end of the cha'n, said stripped piece passing to another conveyor belt (see Fig. 2 a o a o a a a 0 a 0 .4 41~ EXAMPLE 2 Initially, a reactor was prepared with molten sorbitol at a temperature of 110 C, with the remaining preparation steps being followed as outlined in Example 1.
EXAMPLE 3 A mixture of fructose:sorbitol in a proportion of 90:10 was initially prepared, with the steps then being followed in accordance with the procedure described in Example 1 above.
ANALYSIS OF "POPPING" SENSATION The "popping" sensation of a single lot of gasified caramels differs from person to person, and for this reason an analytical system has been perfected for checking the quality and intensity of the pops. Thus, the testing of the gasified caramel is simplified and improved, with the results being objective, simple, and reliable.
The "pop" is produced by the breaking of the caramel film caused by -8- SJS/415P the pressure of the occluded gas, giving a "sound", the term "sound" meaning whatever might produce sensations inherent in the sense of hearing.
The origin of these sensations may be described as a succession of variations of the atmospheric pressure which propagate through the air and which, upon reaching the tympanum of the ear, cause the tympanum to vibrate. The vibrations of the tympanum are transmitted, transformed, and processed by the the ear until they reach the cortex, in which the sound sensation occurs in the form of bioelectric energy.
The improvement of the analytical system of the "pops" of the gasified caramel, has been accomplished by adapting the analytical system to the reality of the human consumption, since it is not equivalent to "hear" the pops of a gasified caramel that is put in a glass of water, and to "hear" the pops of a gasified caramel that is placed in the mouth of an individual, because the medium of transmission in the latter case is much more direct, since the "pop" produced to thne mouth (which acts as a resonator) is transmitted directly from the mouth to the middle ear through the Eustachian tube which connects the throat with the middle ear; in other words, the person does not "hear" the pop through the outer ear in the latter case. However, persons standing before an individual consuming the gasified caramel, on the contrary, do "hear" the pop through their outer ears.
For this reason, an analytical system has been developed to be arranged as close as possible to the intensity and quantity of pops which one and the same person consuming the caramel would "hear" when the gasified caramel is placed in that individual's mouth. On the other hand, this improved testing system allows recording of pops graphically both as to quantity and as to intensity, which has been found to be fundamental for the research study.
The main characteristics of this testing system are as follows:

-9- SSJS/415P
METHOD:
The quantifying of quantity and intensity of the pops produced by a determined and constant quantity of gasified caramel is involved in the present method. A teflon-coated magnet is placed in a vessel and the hydrophone is submerged. The magnetic agitator is set in motion (setting at 1 on a speed scale from 0 to 10), thus obtaining a sufficient agitation which is not detected by the hydrophone. The hydrophone is connected to the sonometer by a cable. Th., sonometer always measures under the same conditions.
The pops of the gasified caramel that are produced in the container of water are detected by the hydrophone, which sends the detected oops to the sonometer, and then to a recorder, whereby a graph of the pops both as to quantity and as to intensity is obtained (please see Figs 4 and In Figs 4 and 5 the absicissas denote time in minutes and the ordinates denote two scales in dB, scales A and C respresenting underwater transmission and referred Co 20pp (micropascals) and scales B and D i respresenting transmission in air. The speed of the recorder is 5cm/min or 2.5cm/min. It is desirable to calibrate the equipment daily, so as to eliminate possible distortions of the results.
RESULTS:
Graphs have been obtained with different pops which can be graduated in underwater transmission and in transmission in air. Different results are seen where each pop of gasified caramel is represented by a peak, and the intensity being represented by the height (Figs 4 and These graphs represent the sensation of popping that a consumer of the caramel or confection filled with the gasified caramel, will have. At first, the popping sensation is practically nil, since only the outer part of the caramel or confection dissolves which corresponds to a conventional caramel structure, this outer part having only a protective function. After this outer part has dissolved, the pops begin, which become ever greater until I, the chips of gasified caramel are fully consumed or depleted. All this has permitted a more detailed study of e&ch of the different elements that can affect the quality of the end product.
The preceding description of the present invention is merely exemplary, and is not intended to limited the scope thereof in any way.
