Definitions
- the presently disclosed subject matter relates to hard panned coatings comprising lecithin and confections having such coatings.
- Hard panned confections include an edible core surrounded by a sugar-based shell.
- the edible core includes a non-artificial center, such as a nut- or fruit-based center, or a confection, such as caramel, nougat, taffy, toffee, fondant, or chocolate.
- a non-artificial center such as a nut- or fruit-based center
- a confection such as caramel, nougat, taffy, toffee, fondant, or chocolate.
- an outer colored, glossy, opalescent, or matte coating can be applied to an unfinished, often white surface to ensure a uniform
- white colorants such as titanium dioxide or rice starch
- opacifying layer to provide an opaque substrate to apply subsequent outer layers of the hard panned coating.
- opacifying layers that do not contain whitening substances in hard panned confections.
- Various non- artificial white materials including CaC0 3 and rice starch, have been considered for use in opacifying layers.
- these materials may require usage rates that are impractical for certain applications or do not provide the same level of opacity as titanium dioxide in some processes and colored layers applied over such materials would not be expected to exhibit the same true color as when those colored layers are applied over titanium dioxide-based layers.
- certain emulsifiers which are translucent themselves, can emulsify and interact with other ingredients in the coating composition, such as sugar crystals, to provide an opacifying effect without the use of pigments.
- One such emulsifier is sucrose esters, as disclosed in International Patent Publication No. WO 2014/150438.
- sucrose esters are not widely considered to be a non- artificial substance.
- the presently disclosed subject matter addresses these and other needs as discussed in detail below.
- the present disclosure provides opacifying compositions for use in hard panned coatings, e.g., for hard panned confections.
- the opacifying compositions can include lecithin, wherein the lecithin is used as an emulsifier along with sugar to create an opacifying layer.
- the present disclosure provides a hard panned coating comprising one or more sugar syrup layers, wherein at least one layer is an opacifying layer formed from an opacifying composition comprising a lecithin in an amount of from about 0.1 wt-% to about 3.0 wt-% based on the total weight of the opacifying composition.
- the lecithin can be in an amount of from about 0.75 wt-% to about 1.25 wt-%, or about 1.0 wt-%.
- the lecithin can have a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of from about 4 to about 7, or about 7.
- the lecithin is de-oiled lecithin.
- the lecithin can comprise at least about 65 wt-% phospholipids.
- the lecithin can contain no more than about 10 wt-% triglycerides, no more than about 5 wt-% triglycerides, or no more than about 3 wt-%
- the opacifying composition comprising sugar syrup and lecithin is present in two or more of the sugar syrup layers.
- the hard panned coating can further include one or more sugar syrup layers that do not contain lecithin.
- the hard panned coating can include at least one sugar syrup layer that is a color layer comprising a colorant.
- the colorant can be a non-artificial colorant, e.g., in any color as known in the art.
- the sugar can be a non-artificial sugar selected from sucrose, glucose, or dextrose. Alternatively or additionally, the sugar can include one or more polyols.
- the hard panned coating can contain at least one layer formed from an opacifying composition including a polyol and a lecithin in an amount of about 0.5 wt-% to about 3.0 wt-% based on the total weight of the opacifying composition.
- the hard panned coating can be free of titanium dioxide.
- the present disclosure further provides hard panned confections, comprising an edible core and a hard panned coating comprising one or more sugar syrup layers, wherein at least one layer is an opacifying layer formed from an opacifying composition comprising a lecithin in an amount of from about 0.1 wt-% to about 3.0 wt-% based on the total weight of the opacifying composition.
- the ⁇ of the hard panned coating can be 10 or less, or 6 or less, when calculated relative to the color of the same color variant of a hard panned coating comprising a titanium dioxide opacifying composition comprising sugar syrup and titanium dioxide in an amount of 2.5 wt-% based on the total weight of the titanium dioxide opacifying composition.
- the edible core can include a non-artificial center, a confection, a grain-based item, or a combination thereof.
- the edible core comprises chocolate.
- at least one opacifying layer is disposed nearer to the edible core than one or more color layers comprising a colorant.
- the present disclosure provides a hard panned coating comprising two or more sugar syrup layers wherein at least one layer is an opacifying layer formed from an opacifying composition comprising a lecithin having a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of about 7 in an amount of from about 0.5 wt-% to about 1.5 wt-% based on the total weight of the opacifying composition. Further, at least one layer of the hard panned coating is a color layer comprising a colorant but not comprising a lecithin and the opacifying layer and the color layer do not comprise titanium dioxide.
- the present disclosure provides methods of coating an edible core with a hard panned coating.
- Such methods include applying a first coating composition comprising sugar syrup and lecithin in an amount of from about 0.1 wt-% to about 3.0 wt-% based on the total weight of the first coating composition to provide at least one layer of the hard panned coating and applying a second coating composition comprising sugar syrup but not comprising a lecithin to provide at least one additional layer of the hard panned coating.
- the method can further include at least partially drying the layers after each step.
- the first coating composition can be applied to a prepared surface of the edible core.
- the second coating composition can further include a colorant.
- the first and second coating compositions can be free of titanium dioxide.
- the lecithin can be present in an amount from about 0.75 wt-% to about 1.25 wt-%.
- FIG. 1 provides photographs of the drawdown experiments of Example 1, and compares the opacity of opacifying compositions comprising 0.5 wt-% or 1.0 wt-% of various types of lecithins.
- a non- artificial coating composition that does not contain titanium dioxide, but which is able to be used as an opacifying composition in the opacifying layer of a hard panned coating to mask the color of an edible core of a confection.
- the present disclosure provides such hard panned coatings that use an opacifying composition with a lecithin in an opacifying layer.
- the opacifying compositions can be used in hard panned confections and can result in similar color characteristics to hard panned coatings having titanium dioxide-based opacifying layers.

- Each opacifying composition was applied to a chocolate core in 5 opacifying layers. 17 additional color layers with a yellow, turmeric colorant were then applied. After drying, the L*a*b* color characteristics of each sample were evaluated and are provided in Table 1, below, wherein Sample 1A with T1O2 is considered to be the "target”.
- the amount of lecithin used provided varying degrees of opacity in the samples.
- the opacifying composition with 1.0 wt-% Alcolec® F100 (Sample IE) had the best ⁇ value (of 1.00).
- Such a difference in color would not be perceptible to the human eye, indicating that this opacifying composition is a suitable alternative for opacifying compositions with T1O2 in an opacifying layer.
- increasing the amount of Alcolec® F100 to 2.0 wt-% negatively impacted the ⁇ value.
- sample opacifying compositions were prepared with either 1.0 wt-% lecithin, 2.5 wt-% T1O2, 10 wt-% rice starch, or sugar syrup only. These four samples were applied in 5 opacifying layers to an edible chocolate core. 17 additional color layers with the blue (Samples 2A-2D), brown (Samples 3A-3D), green (Samples 4A-4D), orange (Samples 5A- 5D), and red (Samples 6A-6D) colorants described in Table 2 were then applied. After drying, the L*a*b* color characteristics of each sample were evaluated and are provided in Tables 3-7, below, wherein the sample with Ti0 2 with each colorant is considered to be the "target".
- a hard panned coating using lecithin in the opacifying layers can have a low ⁇ value (e.g., less than 6) when used with a variety of colorants as compared to the same color hard panned coatings with T1O2.
- This result indicates that the effect on the color of the hard panned coating is minimal when the opacifying layers incorporate lecithin instead of titanium dioxide.
- the opacifying compositions with lecithin had an improved ⁇ value as compared to opacifying compositions with rice starch (an alternative Ti0 2 substitute) when used with blue, orange, and red colorants, and the ⁇ value was about the same when used with a green colorant. Therefore, an opacifying composition containing lecithin is a suitable alternative to an opacifying composition containing titanium dioxide to provide opacity in an edible product.
