Abstract

An alginate jelly is obtained by first mixing calcium alginate and a tribasic alkali metal ortho-phosphate in the presence of such an amount of water that in the resulting reaction a paste is produced consisting substantially of tricalcium phosphate, water, and a soluble alginate, and after such reaction (and drying if desired) introducing the product into an aqueous medium and gelling by means of a free acid, a sequestering salt for calcium ions, e.g. sodium metaphosphate, being added to the gelling bath. The amount of sequestering salt should be such as to be in excess of equivalence to any probable concentration of calcium ions in the bath. The process can be used to prepare artificial fruits by introducing globules of the alginate solution into the gelling acid bath. In an example sodium alginate containing colloidal calcium phosphate is prepared by intimately mixing wet calcium alginate with 1.2 times the theoretical amount of tri-sodium phosphate necessary to react with all the calcium present. The mixture is then dried to a moisture content of 15 per cent, milled, and sifted. The portion which goes through 44 mesh and remains on 100 mesh (British Standard Screen) is then mixed with sugar, boiling water is added, and a further amount of sugar and some glucose then added. After boiling down the mixture some colouring and flavouring is added and the mixture transferred to a machine such as that described in Specification 727,475, [Group VI], and deposited in a solution of water, citric acid, and sodium metaphosphate, to yield artificial cherries suitable for use in confectionery.ALSO:Artificial fruits may be obtained by introducing globules of a solution formed from the alginate obtained by the process of the parent Specification into the gelling acid bath, a sequestering agent for calcium ions, e.g. sodium metaphosphate, being also added to the gelling bath (see Group IV(b)). The amount of sequestering salt should be in excess of the amount equivalent to any probable concentration of calcium ions in the bath. In an example sodium alginate containing colloidal calcium phosphate is prepared by intimately mixing wet calcium alginate with 1,2 times the theoretical amount of tri-sodium phosphate necessary to react with all the calcium present. The mixture is then dried to a moisture content of 15 per cent, milled, and sifted. The portion which passes through 44 mesh and remains on 100 mesh (British Standard Screen) is then mixed with sugar, boiling water is added, and a further amount of sugar and some glucose then added. After boiling down the mixture some colouring and flavouring is added and the mixture transferred to a machine such as that described in Specification 727,475 and deposited in a solution of water, citric acid and sodium metaphosphate, to yield artificial cherries suitable for use in confectionery.
