JPS5832854B2 - Method for manufacturing candy with a built-in picture pattern - Google Patents

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing candy in which both the upper and lower parts of the picture pattern are covered with opaque confectionery dough so that the built-in picture pattern cannot be seen through as it is.

Candy is a product made by boiling a mixture of sugar, starch syrup, or a gelling agent as the main ingredients at high or low temperatures to a low-moisture product, and then cooling and solidifying it, such as hard candy, nougat, and jelly. However, boiled dough (hereinafter referred to as candy dough) rapidly loses its fluidity when the temperature is lowered, so conventionally it was mainly shaped by punching.

However, it is impossible to manufacture candy with a built-in picture pattern as in the present invention by such a method, so in the present invention, the molding method of the present invention is a so-called molding method, which involves inserting and cutting out a die. By creating a laminate of two types of thin-walled transparent and opaque candy dough and opaque and solid confectionery dough without elaborating, the purpose of obtaining candy with a built-in picture pattern as referred to in the present invention is achieved.

Below, the present invention will be described in detail in the case where hard candy dough is employed as the candy dough.

Candy dough is highly adhesive, so the mold used to mold candy dough is made of silicone resin or Teflon resin, which has good mold release properties.

The center part of the bottom should be slightly raised.

The shape of the bulge may be appropriately determined according to the shape of the filling recess of the mold, such as a spherical shape with a gentle slope, that is, a spherical shape with a large center radius, or a truncated conical shape.

However, the maximum height of the raised portion is less than the desired edge thickness of the opaque candy dough layer.

To make an opaque candy dough, it is best to mix in oil or foam using conventional methods.

However, foamed products are difficult to handle.

However, it is important to choose a material whose spreadability is equal to or slightly better than that of the transparent candy dough described below.

For this purpose, the composition of the raw materials and the degree of boiling should be appropriately adjusted.

Transparent candy dough is no different from regular candy dough.

It may be colored with a different color from the ink described later.

Solid opaque confectionery dough refers to opaque confectionery dough that remains solid even when it comes into contact with poured relatively high temperature candy dough, such as chewing gum dough and tablet confectionery dough.

A picture pattern is attached to the confectionery dough in advance.

Patterns can be drawn one by one by hand, but printing, especially mechanical printing, is more productive.

No special means are required for printing, and caramel, artificial colorants, and other inks can be used without any particular restrictions.

After the pattern is applied, the outer surface may be coated with a transparent to semitransparent thin coating material such as shellac or carnauba wax.

The candy of the present invention can be manufactured using the above-mentioned materials according to the following method.

Heat the mold using an appropriate heat source such as hot air or an infrared heater, and keep it at a temperature of 60 to 100'C.

To this is added opaque candy dough which has been boiled down and kept at a temperature of about 130 to 150'C in a conventional manner.

Since such candy has already lost its fluidity, it is important to pour it into the center of the mold.

Once the addition is complete, boil this using the usual method.
Transparent candy dough kept at a temperature of about 0 to 150°C is immediately poured onto it.

Both candy doughs have low fluidity, so they do not spread to a uniform thickness in the mold.

Therefore, before both candy doughs have cooled down too much, a plate-shaped opaque solid confectionery dough with a picture pattern drawn on the underside is supplied and the candy dough is pressed.

If a load is applied not only to the confectionery dough's own weight, but also to it, it becomes easier to press the candy dough.

Since the candy dough is obstructed by the mold wall and cannot be pressed down unrestricted, it tends to overflow upward through the gap between the mold wall and the confectionery dough, thus covering the outer periphery of the confectionery dough.

However, if the load is small or the amount of candy dough is small, the candy dough will only fill the bottom of the mold.

If necessary, candy dough may be further layered on top of the confectionery dough, and in some cases, a stick may be inserted into the dough to make it easier to grasp, and then the dough may be cooled and solidified.

Since the present invention is based on the above-mentioned method, the thickness of the candy dough layer can be very controlled.

There is no other method suitable for achieving this purpose.

In addition, we have adopted a mold that is suitable for the spreadability of opaque candy dough, and the shape of the mold has a raised central part, which makes it extremely easy to press transparent candy and even confectionery dough. This allowed the entire candy to be covered with an opaque layer, making it impossible to see through the internal design from the outside.

Of course, when the candy of the present invention is tasted, by licking and melting the layer of opaque candy covering its outer surface, the built-in picture pattern becomes visible through the layer of transparent candy, so the present invention As a product, the confectionery is rich in taste.

The present invention has struggled to find a way to make the opaque candy layer tingle so that the picture pattern can be easily transferred, and we have been able to achieve results.

That is, by lightly raising the bottom of the mold, the candy spreads easily, and by reducing the thickness of the center part, the thickness of the opaque candy dough layer is reduced, thereby making it easier to remove.

Next, an example of implementing the present invention will be given.

(Example) Regarding each of transparent candy and opaque candy,
Among the raw materials listed in the table above, the raw materials other than the fragrance are mixed, and this is boiled in a microfilm cooker so that the temperature of the candy at the outlet is 150 to 155 °C.
A fragrance is continuously injected into this, and the mixture is led to a Deposik hopper kept at a temperature of 140 to 145°C.

In the molding process, it is shaped like a truncated cone with a circular bottom of 30 mm in diameter and 15 mm in height, with the center of the bottom being approximately 1.5 i.
A silicone mold with a large number of raised spherical concavities (with a center radius of 30 m) at a height of 8 m is heated using a hot air device.
Heat the opaque candy dough to 0-100°C and
．． Fill with 0g.

Next, after about 30 seconds, 2.5 g of transparent candy was filled on top of it, and after about 30 seconds, a piece of chewing gum fabric with a diameter of 28 mm and a thickness of 3 mm with a picture pattern printed on the bottom was stacked, and immediately after that, The entire candy dough is pressed with a pressure machine, and the gum dough and candy dough are crimped.

Further, when this is cooled and the temperature of the candy dough reaches around 30°C, the whole is released from the mold.

The resulting candy is covered on one side with a thin opaque candy dough layer and has a concave center part, making it difficult to see through the built-in picture, but if this can be removed by licking or other methods, it will be protected by a transparent candy dough layer. The pattern on the gum fabric could be clearly seen through without collapsing, rubbing, or becoming unclear.
