Menetelmä pääasiallisesti ksylitolia ja maltitolia sisältävien kovien karamellien valmistamiseksi - Förfarande för framställning av huvudsakligen xylitol och maltitol inne-hällande härda karameller 5Method for making hard candies containing mainly xylitol and maltitol - Förfarande för framställning av huvudsakligen xylitol och maltitol inne-hällande härda carameller 5

Keksinnön kohteena on menetelmä kovan, pääasiallisesti ksylitolista ja maltitolista koostuvan, lasimaisen rakenteen omaavan makeistuotteen valmistamiseksi.The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a hard confectionery product having a vitreous structure, consisting mainly of xylitol and maltitol.

Perinteisesti kovia karamellejä valmistetaan väke-10 vöimällä pääasiallisesti sakkaroosia ja glukoosisiirappia sisältäviä liuoksia alhaiseen vesipitoisuuteen. Näin saadaan tuote, jolla on "lasimainen" rakenne. Koska sekä sakkaroosi että glukoosisiirappi ovat hyviä energialähteitä hammasmätää aiheuttaville bakteereille, on yritetty kor-15 vata näitä aineita hammasystävällisemmillä aineilla, kuten sorbitolilla ja ennen kaikkea ksylitolilla. On kuitenkin osoittautunut olevan vaikeaa valmistaa runsaasti ksylitolia sisältäviä kovia karamelleja.Traditionally, hard caramels are made by concentrating solutions containing mainly sucrose and glucose syrup to a low water content. This gives a product with a "glassy" structure. Since both sucrose and glucose syrup are good energy sources for tooth decay-causing bacteria, attempts have been made to replace these substances with more tooth-friendly substances such as sorbitol and, above all, xylitol. However, it has proven difficult to prepare hard candies rich in xylitol.

Suomalaisesti patentista nro 61 265 tunnetaan mene-20 telmä ksylitolia sisältävien kovien karamellien valmistamiseksi. Tunnetun menetelmän mukaan lähdetään ksylitoli-sulatteesta, johon lisätään ksylitolijauhetta 10 - 30 pai-no-%, laskettuna kokonaiskaramellimassan määrästä, lämpötilassa, joka on enintään noin ksylitolin sulamispiste 25 (96°C). Muodostunut sulate kaadetaan muotteihin ja an netaan jäähtyä; tunnettu menetelmä ei siten ole jatkuvatoiminen. Lisäksi tunnettu menetelmä on teknisesti vaikea, eikä sitä ole voitu soveltaa teollisesti.A method for preparing hard caramels containing xylitol is known from Finnish patent No. 61,265. According to the known method, the xylitol melt is started, to which xylitol powder is added in an amount of 10 to 30% by weight, based on the total amount of caramel pulp, at a temperature of at most about xylitol melting point 25 (96 ° C). The melt formed is poured into molds and allowed to cool; the known method is thus not continuous. In addition, the known method is technically difficult and has not been able to be applied industrially.

Nyt on keksitty, että runsaasti ksylitolia sisältä-30 viä, kovia karamelleja voidaan valmistaa kuumentamalla seos, joka sisältää 5-20 paino-% ksylitolia, edullisesti 7-10 paino-% ksylitolia, 85 - 70 paino-% maltitolia ja alle 15 % muita sokerialkoholeja, lämpötilaan 170 - 175eC, 2 83923 antamalla muodustuneen sulan jäähtyä lämpötilaan, joka on välillä 105 - 120eC, edullisesti 110 - 115°C, ja lisäämällä tämän jälkeen nopeasti 30 - 60 paino-% ksylitolijauhetta, edullisesti 35 - 55 paino-%, laskettuna sulan määräs-5 tä, jolloin samalla sekoitetaan huolellisesti, ja muotoilemalla muodostuneesta seoksesta makeistuote, kuten karamelli. Menetelmä on lisäksi jatkuvatoiminen.It has now been found that xylitol-rich hard caramels can be prepared by heating a mixture containing 5-20% by weight of xylitol, preferably 7-10% by weight of xylitol, 85-70% by weight of maltitol and less than 15% by weight of other sugar alcohols, to a temperature of 170 to 175 ° C, 2 83923 by allowing the melt formed to cool to a temperature between 105 and 120 ° C, preferably 110 to 115 ° C, and then rapidly adding 30 to 60% by weight of xylitol powder, preferably 35 to 55% by weight, based on the amount of melt, while thoroughly mixing, and shaping the resulting mixture into a confectionery product such as caramel. In addition, the method is continuous.

Keksinnön mukaisesti valmistettu makeistuote sisältää 45 - 65 % ksylitolia, edullisesti 50 - 55 %, ja se 10 voidaan aromatisoida sinänsä tunnetuilla, makeisiin käytettävillä aromeilla.The confectionery product according to the invention contains 45 to 65% of xylitol, preferably 50 to 55%, and can be flavored with flavors known per se for use in confectionery.

Muotoilukoneena voi olla valssikone, täytekaramel-likonelinja, sekä toffee-, leikkaus- ja käärintäkone.The shaping machine can be a rolling machine, a stuffing caramel line, and a toffee, cutting and wrapping machine.

Maltitolilähteenä käytetään edullisesti maltitoli-15 siirappia, kuten "Finmalt" (valmistaja Cultor Oy) tai "Malbit" (valmistaja Melida, Italia), mutta voidaan myös käyttää kiteistä maltitolia, tai pääasiallisesti maltito-lia sisältäviä sokerialkoholiseoksia, kuten "Palatinit" (valmistaja Sussungsmittel GmbH, L-Saksa) ja "Lycasin" 20 (valmistaja Roquette Freres, Ranska), jotka sisältävät 60 - 90 % maltitolia ja 10 - 40 % muita sokerialkoholeja, kuitenkin alle noin 8 % sorbitolia.Maltitol-15 syrup, such as "Finmalt" (manufactured by Cultor Oy) or "Malbit" (manufactured by Melida, Italy), is preferably used as the maltitol source, but crystalline maltitol can also be used, or sugar alcohol mixtures containing mainly maltitol, such as "Palatine" (manufactured by Sussungsmittel GmbH, L-Germany) and "Lycasin" 20 (manufactured by Roquette Freres, France), which contain 60-90% maltitol and 10-40% other sugar alcohols, but less than about 8% sorbitol.

Ksylitolijauheen lisääminen ja sekoittaminen voidaan suorittaa esimerkiksi Z-sekoittimessa tai ekstruude-25 risekoittimessa. Sekoituksen tulee tapahtua nopeasti (30 sek. - 2 min.) ja tehokkaasti; sekoituksen aikana massan lämpötila ei kuitenkaan saa nousta yli arvon 96"C.The addition and mixing of the xylitol powder can be carried out, for example, in a Z-blender or an extruder-blender. Mixing should be fast (30 sec - 2 min.) And efficient; however, during mixing, the temperature of the pulp must not exceed 96 ° C.
