2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, tablet confections such as ramune confections are well known as molded confections mainly composed of glucose. These confections are generally based on general-purpose hydrous dextrose,
This is obtained by mixing an acidulant such as citric acid or a flavoring material such as a flavor powder and compressing the mixture. In addition, a product obtained by using a raw material powder having a composition similar to the raw material powder of the tablet confectionery, forming a granulated product into a container, and commercializing the product is also on the market. These glucose-based shaped confections have a unique refreshing feeling and are popular as confections for children.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned molded confections mainly composed of glucose are already molded and have a predetermined shape at the stage of being marketed. Therefore, a kid who is mainly a child simply eats the molded confectionery, and cannot enjoy the fun of making the confectionery itself. In an era where various kinds of favorite items such as chocolates, candies, cakes, etc. have been available recently, consumers, especially children, tend not to be satisfied with conventional confectionery alone, but rather prefer confectionery with a device. Yes, for example, confections that can be easily handmade by oneself, such as playing a play, are becoming popular.

[0004] From such a background, the inventors of the present invention have proposed a combination confectionery in which a solidified powder and a molding mold are packaged as a combination confection that enables the eater himself to obtain a confection by hand. We have already proposed confectionery (Jitsuhei 3
No. 33275). In this combination confectionery, the solidifying powder packed in a container mainly composed of anhydrous glucose was sprinkled into a molding mold, and water was dripped from above to change the solidifying powder into a ramune-like molded confection in a short time. Thereafter, the mold is turned over and the bottom is lightly tapped to take out the molded confection and eat it. According to this combination confectionery, it is possible to simultaneously enjoy the creative pleasure that the eater himself can obtain the solid confectionery by hand, and the visual fun that the solidifying powder changes into the solid confectionery.

[0005] However, the shape of the molded confection obtained by the combination confection is limited to the shape of the molding mold to be molded. Poor sex. In addition, the resulting molded confectionery is simply eaten as it is, and there is room for improvement in creative pleasure, such as the creator himself molding into a favorite shape or playing with the completed molded confectionery. . In addition, for example, when trying to obtain a thin plate-shaped molded confection by the combination confection, when the molding mold is turned upside down and beaten out, it is broken by the striking impact and cannot be taken out in a shape-retained state. .

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and relates to a method of obtaining a molded confection without using a molding mold when obtaining a molded confection mainly containing anhydrous glucose. The examination was repeated. Then, if water is added to anhydrous glucose to form a mixture, it will not solidify immediately, but it will focus on the property that it can be molded freely until it solidifies, and it may be possible to make molded confections using this property Thought. As a result, this mixture is sandwiched between flexible sheet materials such as a vinyl sheet, stretched thinly from above by hand or the like, and left for a while to be solidified into a thin plate shape. Can be made,
The present inventors have found that the molded confection can be easily peeled off from the sheet-like material, and the molded confection can be taken out without cracking.

[0007] An object of the present invention is to enable a consumer to make a thin plate-shaped molded confectionery by a simple operation using a solidifying powder and a sheet-like material. An object of the present invention is to provide a combination confectionery having a creative pleasure such that a molded confection having a weak shape-retaining property can be easily taken out without cracking and can be played with the formed confection.

[0008] The above object is to contain at least 80% by weight of anhydrous glucose, and at least 50% by weight has a particle size of 140 µm or less.
And a flexible sheet for rolling a mixture of the solidifying powder and water.

Next, the present invention will be described in detail. The combination confectionery of the present invention comprises a solidified powder packed in a container and a sheet material for rolling. First, the solidifying powder is mainly composed of anhydrous glucose, and anhydrous glucose is different from general-purpose glucose (hydrated glucose), when dissolved in a predetermined amount of water, after maintaining fluidity for a short time, It has a solidifying property of solidifying after a certain time.

It is necessary that the above-mentioned anhydrous glucose is contained in an amount of 50 % by weight (hereinafter referred to as "%") or more based on the total weight of the solidifying powder. In other words, if it is less than 50 %, it takes too much time to solidify when mixed with water, and the strength of the solidified molded confectionery is weak, and it is easy to crack when thinly spread and solidified.

[0011] The solidifying powder may contain, together with glucose, if necessary, powdered raw materials such as sugars, powdered juice, acidulants, flavors and other flavors and pigments, chocolate chips, arazans, color sprays and the like. May be appropriately added. At this time, the above components are contained in the total weight of the solidifying powder at 2% so as not to impair the strength of the solidified molded confection.
It is preferable to mix them so as to be 0% or less. Also,
The particle size is not particularly limited as long as it is a water-soluble raw material. In the case of poorly water-soluble to water-insoluble, it is desirable to use a 40-mesh pass from the viewpoint of maintaining the strength of the molded confectionery.

The particle size of the solidifying powder is 140 μm.
(100 mesh pass) or less shall be 50% or more. That is, the particle size is 140 μm (100 mesh
Over 100 mesh path (rougher than 100 mesh pass, 100 mesh
In the case of “ shock-on” , the binding between anhydrous glucose particles in the obtained molded confectionery becomes uneven and insufficient, so that the strength of the confectionery formed into a thin plate shape is weakened, and it is difficult to maintain its shape.

[0013] When an auxiliary material is added to the above-mentioned anhydrous glucose, the powder may be mixed with a mixer. The solidifying powder may be filled and sealed in a container or a bag formed of various sealable materials such as soft plastics such as polyethylene.

Next, the flexible sheet-like material combined with the above-mentioned solidifying powder is rolled into a thin plate by sandwiching the mixture obtained by dissolving the above-mentioned solidifying powder in water, and solidified. A material that is flexible, thin, has a smooth surface, and has good releasability is preferred. Examples of the material having such properties include polyethylene, polypropylene, aluminum foil, and the like, and a composite structure thereof. The thickness is not particularly limited as long as it is a flexible material, and is usually 0.0
It is about 1 to 1 mm. Also, the size may be appropriately set according to the size of the molded confection to be obtained,
For example, if one side of the sheet is 100 mm or more,
It is preferable because the area of the obtained molded confection can be increased, and it is rich in visual interest. Also, the sheet-like material is
Instead of one sheet, two sheets may be prepared and used by overlapping. Further, such a sheet-like material may not be specially prepared, and for example, a commercially available polyethylene bag or the like may be used.

Next, the production of the molded confectionery of the present invention using the solidifying powder and the sheet-like material is performed, for example, as follows. That is, first, as shown in FIG. 1 (A), a solidifying powder 2 and an appropriate amount of water 4 measured by a measuring cup 3 are put into a dissolving vessel 1 and thoroughly dissolved using a stirring jig 5. , Mixture 6 is obtained. At this time, the ratio between the solidifying powder 2 and the water 4 is preferably 2: 1 to 6: 1, and more preferably 2.5: 1 to 5 in terms of the rollability of the mixture 6 or the strength of the formed molded confection. : 1 In addition, water 4
Simple water may be used, or an aqueous solution in which a dye, a flavor, an acidulant, or the like is dissolved may be used. At this time, the sugar content of the aqueous solution is desirably set as low as possible from the viewpoint of maintaining the strength of the molded confectionery. Desirably, it is 5 ° or less.

Next, as shown in FIG. 1 (B), the mixture 6 flows down to one half of the sheet-like material 7, a gripping jig 8 is placed thereon, and the other sheet is folded. And insert this. Next, as shown in FIG. 1 (C), the mixture 6 is rolled to be thin and large using a rolling jig 9 and left for about 3 minutes until it is solidified.

After solidification, as shown in FIG. 1 (D), the sheet-like material 7 is peeled off, and the gripping jig 8 is held and lifted to form a thin plate-like shape having a fan-shaped appearance. A confectionery 10 is obtained. The molded confectionery 10 has such a strength that it can be swung like a fan.

The container 1 for dissolving the powder for solidification is a container for dissolving the powder for solidification in water, and its shape and material are not particularly limited. An eye plate or the like may be used.

The measuring cup 3 is used for measuring a predetermined amount of water for dissolving the solidifying powder, and its shape and material are not particularly limited. In addition, a dropper or the like may be used as long as a predetermined amount of water can be measured. If a measuring line capable of measuring a predetermined amount of water is provided in the solidifying powder dissolving container 1, a measuring cup is unnecessary.

The above-mentioned stirring jig 5 is used for stirring when the solidifying powder is dissolved in water, and its shape and material are not particularly limited. A spoon-like shape having a large area of the stirring portion to some extent is preferable so that the stirring can be performed to a certain extent.

The gripping jig 8 reinforces the strength of the solidified molded confectionery and can be used as a handle, and is not particularly limited as long as it is a hard material. In addition, it is particularly preferable that the shape is a skeleton shape in which a plurality of branches are branched from a substantially central portion of the gripping jig because the shape can support the peripheral portion of the extended mixture 6.

It is preferable to use a rolling jig such as a horse run. Also, without using the rolling jig 9,
You may make it roll by hand.

When commercializing the combined confectionery of the present invention, the packaged solidifying powder and the sheet-like material may be contained in a single box, bag, or the like to form a product. A product may be obtained by attaching a container 1 for dissolving the powder for solidification, a measuring cup 3, a jig 4 for stirring, a jig 8 for gripping, a jig 9 for rolling, and the like, which are used in manufacturing.

[0024] Further, it is more preferable in terms of flavor to coat the formed molded confectionery with syrup, sauce and the like, and to further add toppings and the like thereon to eat. Alternatively, a coloring agent that develops a color when dissolved in water may be added to the solidifying powder so that the color changes when the solidifying powder is dissolved in water.

[0025]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the combination confectionery of the present invention is not only a sheet-like material made of a soft material after the solidified powder is dissolved in water, but also the sensation of the lover can not only enjoy the texture and flavor of the molded confectionery. By dropping it on top and sandwiching it between sheet-like materials and rolling it thinly, a thin and large shaped confectionery can be formed, and you can enjoy the visual fun and the pleasure of realizing the change from liquid to solid Things. Further, by adding syrup, topping and the like, the color tone, flavor and appearance can be changed.

Next, the combination confectionery of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to examples. (Examples 1 to 6, Comparative Examples 1 and 2) Powders for solidification having the compositions shown in Table 1 were prepared, and then the powders for solidification and water were mixed at the ratios shown in Table 1 to obtain mixtures. . Next, the mixture is allowed to flow down on one side of a polyethylene sheet (150 × 150 mm), and the sheet is folded in half in a state where a wooden stick-like holding jig (length: 120 mm) is placed thereon. The mixture was thinly rolled into a circle having a diameter of about 120 mm using a rolling jig. After standing for 3 minutes, the sheet was peeled off and the wooden stick was lifted to obtain a fan-shaped shaped confection. The strength of the obtained molded confection was evaluated. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0027]

[Table 1]

From the results shown in Table 1, in Examples 1 to 6, thin and large shaped confections were obtained, and the fun of change was enjoyed.
And the obtained molded confectionery was also excellent in flavor and texture. On the other hand, Comparative Example 1 could not be formed into a confectionery even when stretched thinly without solidifying and remaining in a semi-solution state. In Comparative Example 2, the ratio of the solidification powder having a 40-mesh pass was small, and it was difficult to sufficiently roll in a sheet, and it was not possible to form a thin sheet. Further, the strength of the obtained molded confectionery was weak.
