RU2250017C2 - Method for producing of soft caramels - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: confectionery industry.

SUBSTANCE: method involves mixing and boiling out resultant mixture containing sweet substance, plasticizer, emulsifier and structurizer until dry substance content reaches predetermined value. Specific preparation used as emulsifier and structurizer is produced by sequential extracting of Mortierella spinosa micromycet biomass with the use of non-polar extractant in above-critical state, water, alkaline, water, acid, water, alkaline and water, with following joining of first extract with solid residue.

EFFECT: simplified component composition of soft caramels and reduced consumption of additives.

Description

The invention relates to the production technology of soft caramel.

A known method for the production of soft caramel, comprising mixing and boiling to a predetermined solids content of a sweet substance in the form of molasses and sugar, a plasticizer in the form of confectionery fat or refined sunflower oil or margarine, a structuring agent in the form of gelatin and an emulsifier in the form of phosphatides, cooling and introducing flavoring and flavoring additives (RU 2143821 C1, 10.01.2000).

The disadvantage of this method is the complex component composition and high consumption of technological additives.

The technical result of the invention is to simplify the composition and reduce the consumption of technological additives.

This result is achieved in that in a method for producing soft caramel, which involves mixing and boiling to a predetermined solids content of at least a sweet substance, plasticizer, emulsifier and structure former, according to the invention, a preparation obtained by sequential extraction of biomass is used as an emulsifier and structure former micromycete Mortiereila spinosa non-polar supercritical extractant, water, alkali, water, acid, water, alkali and water, followed by combining the first extract them with a solid residue.

The method is implemented as follows.

The dry biomass of micromycete Mortierella spinosa is extracted with a non-polar extractant, for example carbon dioxide or hexane, in a supercritical state. At this stage, the first extract is separated, which is used later in the preparation. Next, the biomass is sequentially extracted with water, alkali, water, acid, water, alkali and water. The solid residue obtained after completion of all the extraction steps listed above is combined with the first extract.

The sequence of actions when obtaining a drug from biomass is traditional and is known from RU 2116314 C1, 07.27.1998. The selection of the parameters of these actions is carried out by analogy with the known recommendations from RU 2000066 C, 09/08/1993.

To prepare soft caramel, a mixture is boiled containing at least a sweet substance, for example sugar, molasses or invert syrup, a plasticizer, for example, in the form of cooking oil, vegetable or animal oil, and a biomass preparation of micromycete Mortierella spinosa obtained by the above technology . When preparing the mixture for boiling, additional components, for example, dairy, can be introduced into it. After boiling and cooling, additional components, for example, flavoring and aromatic additives, may be introduced into the mixture. With the introduction of additional components in the boiled mass, it is subjected to homogenization.

Example 1

Soft caramel is prepared using sugar, molasses, margarine and a combination of a gel forcing agent with an emulsifier in the form of lecithin or a biomass preparation of Mortieretia spinosa micromycete obtained using carbon dioxide, sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. Boiling the mixture is carried out to the same solids content. The same consistency of the target product is achieved when laying the preparation from the biomass of micromycete Mortierella spinosa 10% less than the amount of gelatin with lecithin.

Example 2

Soft caramel is prepared using sugar, molasses, cooking oil, table salt, condensed milk and a combination of gelatin with phosphatides or a biomass preparation of micromycete Mortierella spinosa, obtained using hexane, potassium hydroxide and acetic acid. Boiling the mixture is carried out to the same solids content. The same consistency of the target product is achieved when laying the preparation of biomass micromycete Mortierella spinosa 12% less than the amount of gelatin with phosphatides.

Thus, the present invention allows to simplify the component composition of soft caramel and reduce the consumption of technological additives.
