Description

HARD COATINGS WITHOUT OZUCOR AND A PORO METHOD TO OBTAIN THEM TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention describes an improved method for applying hard, sugarless coatings to centers consisting of edible, chewable or pharmaceutical components. The method makes use of crystal police. The present invention relates to sugar-free hard coatings obtained by the application of a combination of sorbitol syrup and at least one other crystalline polyol. The invention also relates to products coated with said compositions. Coatings based on the compositions of the present invention show an increased crispness and / or crunchiness. The method for applying the coating is also improved insofar as the brittle structure is obtained faster.
COMPONENTS OF THE INVENTION Coatings of edible, chewable or pharmaceutical compositions until recently were made with sugars such as syrups of sucrose, dextrose, fructose or glucose. Following intensive campaigns to reduce the incidence of caries, these coatings now increasingly use sugar-free compositions, ie, compositions containing sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol or hydrolysates of hydrogenated starch. The method for applying the coatings to the centers generally consists of rotating the center in a rotating installation at a desired speed and temperature, applying the coating in a liquid form, allowing a film to form and the material to dry. Variations of this procedure have been developed and generally the procedure is repeated until the coatings have the desired thickness. The polyols sorbitol and xylitol are usually used in sugar-free coating applications. The international patent application UO 81/01100 describes a hard coating process. In this process the conditions are chosen in such a way that the sorbitol syrup can be used as a coating fluid. EP 0 273 856 describes a process for producing an edible sorbitol coating. The method comprises applying to an edible substantially anhydrous center at least two coating solutions comprising sorbitol to cover the edible center. The first coating solution comprises (a) about 77 to 81% by weight of sorbitol solution containing from about 55 to about 75% by weight of sorbitol, and (b) about 9.5 to about 12.5% by weight of sorbitol. crystalline sorbitol powder together with a film-forming agent and a crystallization retardant. The second coating solution comprises (a) from about 82 to 92% by weight of sorbitol solution comprising about 65 to 75% by weight of sorbitol, and (b) from about 1.0 to about 1.5% of powder of crystalline sorbitol together with a film forming agent and a crystallization retardant.The solutions have a different sorbitol content and the product is dried between the application of the two layers.The product is reported to be smooth, hard and crunchy. coating with sorbitol as described for example in UO 81/01100 and EP 0 273 856 is widely used due to the ease of this polyol In addition, sorbitol is relatively inexpensive.The main defect in the use of this polyol is that the The resulting coatings do not appear to be as crisp and brittle as conventional sucrose-based coatings, therefore alternatives to the use of sorbitol are still awaited. lithol is described for example in the patents of E.U.fl. 4,105,801; 4,127,677; and 4,146,653. Xylitol is used for cooling effect and its cariostatic properties are well known. The patent of E.U.fl. No. 4,238,510 discloses edible sugarless coatings in which the coating consists essentially of sorbitol alone or in combination with mannitol, and / or hydrolyzed hydrogenated starch. Such coatings are not comparable in hardness with the coatings obtained with the sugars normally used. Other patents describe a hard coating using other polyols such as Iso alt, maltitol and erythritol (UO 95/07625 and 3P 6292511). Also the idea of a sequential coating first with several layers of a polyol and then several layers of another polyol has been proposed (US 5376389). The main advantage of this procedure would be the low cost of the raw material and the reduced hygroscopicity (UO 95/07622).
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention discloses that a combination of sorbitol syrup and a selected polyol gives rise to a brittle and crunchy coating when applied to edible, chewable or pharmaceutical centers. The present invention describes hard coating without edible sugar which is obtained by treating a central portion with a sorbitol syrup and at least one other polyol in crystalline form. Preferably, the polyol is selected from the group consisting of Isornalt, xylitol, maltitol and erythritol. The present invention describes a process for coating centers in which the sorbitol syrup is applied to a mass of centers in rotation and then at least one of the selected polyols is added in a crystalline or powder form. The coated centers are dried and the procedure repeated until the desired coating thickness and composition are obtained. The sugar-free coatings of the present invention are applied to edible, chewable and pharmaceutical centers. Preferably, the sugarless coatings of the present invention are used to coat chewing gums, candied products (such as candy), chocolate and nuts. The present invention describes products that have been coated with the composition containing sorbitol syrup and at least one other crystalline polyol.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention describes a process for coating centers in which the sorbitol syrup is applied to a mass of centers in rotation and then at least one of the selected polyols is added in crystalline form. The coated centers are dried and the procedure is repeated until the desired thickness and coating composition are obtained. The process of the present invention is carried out in the following manner.
A sorbitol syrup with a dry substance of approximately 60% by weight to approximately 95% by weight and a sorbitol content of more than 60% by weight is used as the coating solution. The syrup is applied to the centers in rotation at a temperature of 20-60"> C. The centers are on a rotating tray (speed 10-30 rpm) small portions of the syrup are added and the syrup forms a thin film on the surface of the centers. The solution may also contain gelatin, gum arabic or cellulose and other ingredients known as binding agents. After the centers are moistened by the syrup, a small fraction of the max is brought to the surface. about 4% by weight of the centers) of crystalline xylitol, Isomalt, maltitol or erythritol (granulometry <200 microns). The coated centers are dried. To reduce the drying time based on air with a temperature of 15-45 ° C and a humidity content of maximum 50% is applied in relation to humidity. When the centers are dried the process is repeated until the desired thickness and coating composition is reached. By repeating the described procedure, coatings of 1 to about 100 layers are easily obtained, preferably the number of layers will depend on the desired applications and can be determined experimentally. The different polyols can also be applied as a mixture of crystals or in separate layers. Optionally, the final item (s) or cap (s) may contain components to give the product a lustrous appearance. Obviously, small adaptations of the process with respect to temperature, drying time, sorbitol concentration and amount of crystalline polyol may be required without departing from the present invention. These adaptations depend on the quality, type and composition of the ingredients used. In addition, the type of equipment such as drying tray, rotating drum can also influence the exact conditions. Colors such as titanium oxide or others are applied to sorbitol syrup. Liquid flavors are used by adding syrup, the powdered flavors are used in a mixture with the crystalline polyol. In addition to the polyol hydrocolloids, hydrocolloids are generally added to an amount of about 3%, including gum arabic, gelatin and cellulose. The final coating contains the crystalline polyols in an amount less than 20% by weight, for xylitol a preferred amount would be 15% since in this concentration the cariostatic effect is present, for Iso alt and erythritol the amounts can be even less than 10% In general, police with a lower solubility have a greater effect. When applying the method of the present invention to hard chewing gum coatings, any center (core) of conventional chewing gum can be used. Preferably, the center has no sugar and contains sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, lactitol, maltitol and / or hydrogenated starch hydrolyzate. The rubber center constitutes from about 35 to about 65% of the chewing gum product. The present invention is illustrated by means of the following examples.
EXAMPLE A) Coating Lae following conditions were used to prepare the chewing gums. The coating solution was a sorbitol syrup with a dry substance of 70% and a sorbitol content of 97%. The syrup was applied to the centers at room temperature (20-25 «» C). The centers were in a rotating tray (speed 20 rpm, diameter 0.5m, speed in the outer circle lm / s). The tray contained 2 Kg of centers and the weight of each of the unlined gums was 121g. For the first ten layers, 10 l of sorbitol syrup was added. From layer twenty the amount increased to 25 ml and from layer 37 it increased even more to 35 ml. Every five layers one minute after the addition a 0.57% sorbitol solution (based on the weight of the centers) was added C Eri ex (fine fraction, <100 micrometers). The coating process was stopped after 40 layers. This resulted in a coating of 4.2% (by weight). The solution may also contain gelatin, gum arabic or cellulose as binding agents. Maltitol, xylitol and Isomalt are brought to the surface of the centers under similar conditions. To reduce the drying time based on air with a temperature of 15-45"C and a moisture content of <50% relative humidity can be applied.When the centers are dry the procedure is repeated until the temperature is reached. desired coating thickness Colors such as titanium dioxide (in the present case 0.5%) and others are applied by syrup addition Liquid flavors are used by syrup addition, and powdered flavors are used mixed with polyol Crystalline This procedure was used to prepare coatings based on sorbitol syrup with crystalline maltitol, Isomalt and erythritol.Sugar sorbitol and pure sucrose are used as preforms.
B) Determination of Crunchiness The crunchiness of a layer coating is normally only determined by means of sensory examination. The following system was evaluated to apply a more quantitative method. The hardness of the coating by layers was measured with a Stable Micro Systems Texture XT: RA analyzer, dimension V3.7A. The measuring system was equipped with a needle with a diameter of Imm and the force required for this needle to penetrate the coating layer was measured. It was found that the samples were as crispy as desired with a maximum penetration force at a penetration distance shorter than 1 mm. To quantify this discovery the maximum force was divided by the penetration depth at a maximum force in mrn. This amount is defined as the "crispy factor" the higher the quantity, the crisper the coating layer is. This is verified by sensory examination. The dimension of this "Crunchy factor" is g / mm. Immediately after the reverence, the following "crunchy factors" were found. Sucrose 1675 g / rnrn Pure sorbitol syrup 1030 g / rnm Sorbitol syrup + maltitol powder 854 g / mm Sorbitol syrup + Isomalt powder 2583 g / mm Eorbitol syrup + erythritol powder 2018 g / mm The advantage of this coating is the increase in crispness and crispness compared to a pure sorbitol coating. The best results are obtained by the use of a crystalline polyol with a lower solubility compared to Isornalt or Erythritol similar to sorbitol.
