Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention relates to molded sugar that is used in drinks such as coffee, and in particular, molded sugar is produced with different weights depending on its planar shape, and it is possible to determine the shape by looking at the planar shape. This invention relates to molded sugar whose weight can be determined.

Cubed sugar is a type of sugar used in drinks such as coffee and tea.

Sugar cubes are made by shaping and solidifying granular sugar, and because they are easy to handle, they are widely used in cafes.

Traditionally, the amount of sugar added to a cup of coffee is
In the case of sugar cubes, it is usually 2 pieces (if each piece weighs 6 g).

However, sweetness preferences vary from person to person, and some people find that 12g is not enough and 15g, which is equivalent to two and a half sugar cubes, is the appropriate amount, while others find that 12g is too sweet and is equivalent to one and a half sugar cubes. For some people, around 9g is an appropriate amount.

However, it is not possible to use only half of one sugar cube, so in the above cases, people drink three sugar cubes or one sugar cube.

In this way, sugar cubes have the inconvenience of not being able to adjust the amount of sugar added to a drink to the desired amount.

Especially recently, the amount of coffee I drink has increased,
As a result, the amount of sugar consumed has increased, and the health problems caused by too much sugar have become a problem, so there is a trend toward reducing the amount of sugar added to each cup of coffee.

Sugar used in drinks includes sugar cubes and granular sugar, and the advantage of using this sugar is that you can adjust the amount of sugar you add to your drink to your liking.

However, since it is difficult to know the exact amount of sugar each time you add it to a drink, it is easy to add it in the winter, which has the disadvantage of unknowingly adding too much sugar.

This idea was made in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks.The planar shape of the molded sugar was made into a polygonal shape, and the number of corners and the weight of the molded sugar almost corresponded.For example, a triangular shape weighs 3g. The square shape weighs 4g,
The pentagonal shape was formed to weigh 5 g, so that the weight could be determined just by looking at the planar shape of the molded sugar.

Examples of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

A is 3 made by molding the raw sugar into a triangular solid shape.
B is molded sugar with a weight of 4 g, which is made by molding the raw sugar into a rectangular solid shape, and C is molded sugar with a weight of 5 g, which is made by molding the raw sugar into a pentagonal solid shape. For each molded sugar A, B, and C, the number of corners of its planar shape corresponds to its g weight number.

These molded sugars A and B. The three-dimensional shape of C is shown in Figure 1a,
In addition to forming columnar solids as shown in b and c, Fig. 3 a,
It can be formed into a truncated pyramid shape as shown in b and c, or it can be formed into a truncated pyramid shape as shown in Fig. 4 a and b.

It may be formed into a pyramidal solid shape as shown in C. In short, it is sufficient if it is formed into a triangular, quadrangular, or pentagonal shape when viewed from a plane, and in that case, a triangular shape,
Each side of the quadrilateral or pentagonal shape may be formed into an equilateral or scalene shape.

Also, when molding, use each molded sugar A. It is best to set the weights of B and C to the exact 3g, 4g, and 5g weights, but there is no particular problem in use even if there are some errors.

In the above case, the raw sugar is fine grains 1, which are made by crushing the crystal grains of rice sugar (so-called coffee sugar), which is crystallized by mixing caramel with sugar solution, and crystal grains of granilla sugar. Although a mixture of 2 and 2 can be used, it may also be formed using other materials, for example, only crystal grains of granilla sugar.

In the case of molded sugars A, B, and C formed from a mixture of rice sugar fine grains 1 and granilla sugar crystal grains 2, when added to a drink, the caramel component gives the drink a bitter taste. Compared to molded sugar made from sugar only, the flavor of the drink becomes more appealing.

The size of the fine grains 1 of rice sugar should be such that when added to a drink, it dissolves at approximately the same speed as the crystal grains 2 of granilla sugar, and usually it is approximately the same size as the crystal grains 2 of granilla sugar. Make it the same or slightly thicker.

The blending ratio of rice sugar fine grains 1 and granilla sugar crystal grains 2 is 3.
The ratio may be selected as appropriate, such as near, 4:6, or 5:5, and the higher the ratio of rice sugar fine grains 1,
When added to a drink, the caramel flavor will be strong, and the brownness of molded sugars A, B, and C will also increase.

All of the molded sugars A, B, and C may be formed from the same raw sugar, or at least one type of molded sugar may be formed from a different raw material from the other molded sugars.

This invention is based on the above-mentioned compromise, and when this molded sugar is used in a drink, it is possible to use one type or a combination of two or more types of molded sugar, for example, the above-mentioned molded sugar A, B, C. can be used alone to add 3-5g weight of sugar to the drink, and 4g weight of molded sugar B
and 5g of molded sugar C, and when both are used, the amount of sugar added to the drink can be 9g,
Also, when using only two pieces of molded sugar B weighing 4 g, the amount of sugar added to the drink can be 8 g.

Furthermore, when 3 g of molded sugar A and 4 g of molded sugar B are combined and both are used, the amount of sugar added to the drink can be 7 g.

If you combine the above three types of molded sugar A, B, and C, the amount of sugar added to the drink will be 12g (if you use one of each of the three types) or 11g (one 5g sugar and one 3g sugar). By selecting and using the sugar as appropriate, you can adjust the amount of sugar added to the drink to various amounts.

As explained above, according to this invention, the g weight number of the molded sugar differs depending on its planar shape, and the molded sugar A with a weight of 3 g is formed into a triangular shape as in the above embodiment, and the molded sugar A is formed into a rectangular shape in a plan view. Molded sugar B with a weight of 4g and molded sugar C with a weight of 5g formed into a planar pentagonal shape can be used alone, or by appropriately selecting and combining two or more types of molded sugar, it can be used in drinks. Not only can you adjust the amount of sugar added to various amounts, but each molded sugar corresponds to the number of squares in its planar shape and its weight, so you can tell by looking at the planar shape of the molded sugar. Now you can know the weight of the molded sugar, so you can know exactly how much sugar to add to your drink.

Therefore, you can adjust the amount of sugar you put in your drink to your liking, and especially if you are trying to limit the amount of sugar you put in your drinks, you can adjust the amount of sugar you put in your drink. This makes it possible to adjust the amount accurately, which greatly contributes to health management.

The raw sugar is a mixture of fine grains 1, which are formed by crushing rice sugar crystal grains crystallized by mixing caramel with sugar solution, and Gura 4 sugar crystal grains 2 in an appropriate ratio. When using sugar, the unique aroma of rice sugar and the sweetness of granilla sugar combine to make the drink more delicious.
