Definitions
- the invention relates to sugar confectionery products.
- the invention provides a method of modifying the rheology, texture and physical chemistry of said products by manipulating the dynamic thermo-mechanical transitions in the sugar-water confectionery system.
- Sugar confectionery products contain a high concentration of sugars and other soluble solids and are generally characterised by a low moisture content. A common problem with such confectionery products is the occurrence of sugar crystallisation.
- sugar crystallisation causes the undesirable effect of graining in other confectionery products, such as, hard- boiled sweets, toffees and caramel. Crystallisation is manifested as an unpleasant gritty texture. In hard-boiled sweets, graining is evident as a loss in clarity and flavour. It is accompanied by stickiness, starting at the surface and proceeding inwards.
- a deterioration in other properties of sugar confectionery products is also noted during storage. Acceleration of graining may arise if moisture is picked up on the surface of the product, therefore, lowering the viscosity and glass transition temperature. Storage conditions that dehydrate the product may also result in the sucrose crystallising out. As a consequence, expensive moisture-proof packaging is often required.
- the present invention aims to control rheology, sugar crystallisation and texture in confectionery products, in particular, in confectionery products comprising a high content of sugars.
- the invention aims to provide confectionery products with a higher than average suga ⁇ glucose ratio in order to improve cost effectiveness, but avoiding any associated increase in sugar crystallisation and loss of texture.
- the invention aims to increase the moisture holding capacity of a sugar confectionery product, particularly those having a high content of sugars, but still provide a confectionery product which has equivalent properties to a product having a lower moisture content.
- the invention aims to improve the storage properties of confectionery products, in particular, to prevent the deterioration in texture and properties (for example stickiness) of a high sugar content confectionery, such as, a hard-boiled product or pastille, which occurs when the confectionery is stored in a high humidity environment due to moisture pick up.
- the invention provides a method of modifying the texture and viscoelasticity of a confectionery product by the addition of a hydrocoUoid or a combination of hydrocolloids, in particular, a confectionery product comprising a high content of sugars.
- Tg glass transition temperature
- hydrocolloids have been found to cause an increase in the water holding capacity. It may be hypothesised that water is held by the hydrocoUoid
- sugars or other co-solutes such as sugar replacers, glycerol
- flavouring compounds and carriers colours, alcohol, acids and salts.
- addition of a geUing agent results in interchain association
- junction zones and a cross-linked network resulting in a gel.
- a cross-linked network resulting in a gel.
- junction zones may not form so readily.
- the stearic presence of hydrocolloids may
- the confectionery product of the invention is preferably a high sugar content confectionery product, for example, selected from hard-boiled sweets, pastilles, caramel, hard candy, soft chews, toffees, gums and jellies etc.
- the confectionery product preferably comprises a high concentration of sugars, for example, preferably between 65 and 99% by weight. This will depend, however, on the confectionery.
- the confectionery product of the invention may comprise other solutes as well as sugar, for example, sugar replacers such as sorbitol, isomalt, mattitol, mannitol, lactitol, erythritol, glycerol, flavouring compounds, carriers, colours, alcohols, acids, such as, citric, lactic, malic, fumaric, tartaric, and salts.
- sugar replacers may partially or completely replace the sugars in the confectionery product.
- Other ingredients may be present in an amount of from 0.1 to 5% by weight.
- Confectionery products are generally characterised by a low moisture content and a high content of soluble sohds.
- a glassy confectionery product modified in accordance with the invention may have a higher than average moisture content but retain desirable characteristics relating to texture and viscoelasticity. The invention preferably raises moisture content from typically about 2% towards about 10%.
- the hydrocoUoid used in the method of the invention may be any conventionally used geUing agent or biopolymer which influences the sugar-water system of the confectionery product.
- Suitable examples of hydrocoUoids include, but are not limited to carrageenans, gelatin, agar, pectins, maltodextrins, plant fibres, starches or combinations thereof.
- the hydrocoUoid is added to the confectionery product only in a small amount, for example in an amount of from 0.1 to 15%, preferably in an amount of from 1 to 5%.
- hydrocoUoid may be used to replace gelatin where it is undesirable to have gelatin in a product, for example, due to dietary considerations.
- the invention further provides a glassy confectionery product modified by the addition of a small amount of a hydrocoUoid.
- the confectionery product preferably has a high content of sugars and has improved storage properties, has a reduced tendency to display sugar crystallisation, may have a higher ratio of suga ⁇ glucose than in conventional products and has an increased moisture holding capacity without any detrimental affect to its texture and rheological properties.
- the method of the invention is applicable to all sugar confectionery types and to their various processes of preparation.
- the hydrocoUoid requires pre-hydration and dispersion in adequate water to ensure functionality. This may require modification to a particular recipe process according to type.
- Rubbery viscous state for example in chews, jellies, gums, toffee/caramel,
