Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

[Industrial Application Field] This invention consists of a set of container-filled solidifying powder and a molding mold, and the solidifying powder is brought into contact with water in the molding recess of the mold to solidify and form a molded confectionery. This relates to uru combination confectionery. [Prior Art] Molded confectionery containing glucose as a main ingredient has been on the market in the form of tablet confectionery such as ramune confectionery. This type of tablet confectionery generally contains general-purpose hydrated glucose and
Mix an acidulant such as citric acid with flavor powder, etc.
It is obtained by compressing this into tablets. Also,
There are also products on the market that use a raw material powder with a composition similar to that of the above-mentioned ramune confectionery powder, mold it into granules, and fill them into containers. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the two types of glucose-based molded confectionery mentioned above have already been molded into a predetermined shape when they are placed on the market. Therefore,
Consumers, who are mainly children, simply eat the molded confectionery and cannot enjoy the fun of making the confectionery itself. Nowadays, in an era where a wide variety of luxury goods such as chocolate cakes, candy cakes, etc. are available on the market, consumers, especially children, are not satisfied with just conventional sweets and are looking for new ones. He is starting to show a great interest in sweets. Moreover,
The above-mentioned child has a desire to take the initiative in manufacturing sweets, etc., as seen in playing house, and in addition to developing new sweets,
It is also desired to develop products that satisfy the above desires of children. This idea was created in view of these circumstances, and allows consumers to enjoy the visual interest and creative enjoyment of the solidification process by solidifying the solid powder packed in a container in a mold. The purpose is to provide a combination confectionery that can [Means for solving the problem] In order to achieve the above object, the combination confectionery of this invention consists of a solidifying powder packed in a container containing anhydrous glucose as a main component, and a concave portion in which the solidifying powder is brought into contact with water. The structure includes a forming mold provided with a forming recess for solidifying along the . In order to obtain a combination confectionery that can be made into a molded confectionery by solidifying the solid powder on a mold by the consumer himself/herself, the inventors of the present invention first studied various general-purpose sugars (sucrose, hydrated glucose, anhydrous glucose, etc.) that are the main components of the solid powder. Research focused on maltose, sorbitol, etc.). However, the above-mentioned general-purpose saccharides require extremely long drying times when they are brought into contact with water and solidified in the forming recesses of the forming mold, so it is said that the desired combination confectionery cannot be obtained using these general-purpose saccharides. I've come to a conclusion. Therefore, we changed our perspective further and conducted a series of studies to see if it would be possible to create the desired combination confectionery using special sugars instead of the general-purpose sugars mentioned above.As a result, we found that if anhydrous glucose was used as the main component of the solidifying powder, We have discovered that the above object can be achieved and have come up with this idea. The combination confectionery of this invention is obtained using a container-packed solid powder containing anhydrous glucose as a main component and a mold having a molding recess. The solid powder is mainly composed of anhydrous glucose, and unlike general-purpose glucose (hydrated glucose), anhydrous glucose instantly solidifies when it comes into contact with water on the molding recess of the mold. The anhydrous glucose having such solidifying properties preferably has a particle size of 150 μm or more. The most preferred particle size is from 150 to 1200 μm. Even if the particle size becomes too fine,
The particle size is preferably 150 μm or more, since the water absorption becomes too large and the powder becomes so-called "clumps", making it difficult to obtain a uniform water-containing state. It is preferable that such anhydrous glucose accounts for 50% by weight (hereinafter abbreviated as "%") or more of the entire solidifying powder. That is,
This is because when anhydrous glucose is less than 50%, other powder components become relatively large, which impairs the solidifying properties of the solidifying powder as a whole and makes it difficult to obtain a rapid solidifying state. From the viewpoint of solidification properties, it is more preferable that anhydrous glucose with a particle size in the range of 150 to 1200 μm accounts for 60% or more of the total solidification powder. Examples of the other powder components include bulking agents such as starch, sugars other than anhydrous glucose, acidulants such as citric acid, flavor components such as powdered flavor, and pigment powder. In addition, vitamin components such as vitamin C and vitamin A, chlorophyll powder, etc. can also be used as appropriate. Although the container to be filled with the solidifying powder is not particularly limited, a bag made of soft plastic such as polyethylene is usually used. However, the shape of the container is not limited to bag-like.
It may be cylindrical or box-shaped. Further, the material thereof is not limited to plastic, but may also be paper or the like. However, since anhydrous glucose easily absorbs moisture, it is required to be moisture-proof and sealable. Any mold for solidifying and molding the solidifying powder can be used as long as it has a molding recess. The material is not particularly limited either. However, usually a thin soft plate made of plastic is stamped to form a molding recess of an appropriate shape. However, the above-mentioned mold does not need to be specially prepared, and for example, the eater can use a plate, a bowl, etc.
This also includes plates, bowls, etc. when using appropriate tableware. In this invention, for example, the solidifying powder is packaged in a container in the following manner, and this is combined with a mold for commercialization. That is, anhydrous glucose of a predetermined particle size is prepared, and this and the other powder components mentioned above are appropriately mixed, and the solidified powder packed in a container is prepared by filling a container such as polyethylene and sealing the container. Then, the solidified powder packed in a container and a mold having a molding recess are combined to be commercialized. Eating such a combination confectionery can be carried out, for example, as follows. That is, a predetermined amount of water is put into the molding recess of the mold.
In this case, good moldability can be achieved by setting the mutual ratio of water and solidifying powder so that the former:latter is 1:1 to 1:5. Therefore, it is preferable to draw, for example, a water metering line (waterline) in the molding recess of the mold, or to provide a water metering cup part in a part of the mold. . After a predetermined amount of water is poured into the molding recess of the mold in this manner, the container is opened and the solidifying powder is uniformly sprinkled into the water-filled molding recess. Simultaneously with this sprinkling, the solidifying powder and water come into contact with each other in the molding recess, and the anhydrous glucose in the solidifying powder instantly solidifies, thereby quickly solidifying the entire solidifying powder and forming the molding recess. It will be molded into a shape that follows. The time from the time the powder is sprinkled until it solidifies is usually very short, about 1 minute to 2 minutes and 30 seconds. After such a period of time has elapsed, the molded confectionery is removed from the mold by, for example, turning over the mold and tapping it lightly, and the consumer can eat it. This series of processes is shown in the drawing. FIG. 1 shows the external appearance of a mold, where 1 is a lightweight plastic mold, and 2 is a molding recess formed in the mold 1. As shown in FIG. This molding recess 2 is formed in the external shape of an automobile.
3 is a water quantitative line provided in the molding recess 2. Reference numeral 4 denotes a water metering container portion, and by pouring water into a recess 5 provided in this metering container portion 4 and transferring the water to the molding recess 2, the water is automatically filled up to the metering line 3. It's getting old. In this case, the quantitative container portion 4 can be easily separated from the perforation position indicated by the dotted line A in the figure. FIG. 2 shows a state in which the solidifying powder 7 is being shaken off from the opened polyethylene bag 6 into the molding recess 2 filled with water up to the quantitative line 3. FIG. 3 shows a molded confectionery 8 molded by solidification within the molding recess 2. In addition, when solidifying the solidifying powder 7 using the mold 1 equipped with the molding recess 2 as described above, two types of solidifying powders having different coloring components are used, for example, for a part corresponding to the body of a car. The body part is created by sprinkling a solidifying powder containing a blue colorant, and the tire part is created by sprinkling a solidifying powder containing a gray coloring into the part corresponding to the tire, so that each part has a different color. It is also possible to make molded confectionery colored with different colorants. Next, this invention will be explained based on examples. [Examples 1 to 3] Each raw material was blended in the composition ratio shown in the table below, and this was sealed in a polyethylene bag. On the other hand, a forming mold 1 shown in FIG. 1 was prepared, and a set of combination confectionery was formed using the above-mentioned 6 bags of solidifying powder 7 and the forming mold 1.
