Edible colorant compositions containing a monoacylated anthocyanin of Compound I and methods of use are provided. The colorant compositions include at least the monoacylated anthocyanin colorant of Compound I extracted from red cabbage and a metal ion, and have a pH from about 6.0 to about 8.0. The colorant compositions can be derived from a non-artificial product and provide a stable, blue colorant that can be used in food products. Specifically, the monoacylated anthocyanin colorant provides color characteristics similar to those provided by the artificial blue colorant, FD&C Blue No. 1.

A system and method for applying a reduced sugar coating to a food product is provided. The system uses separate applications (simultaneous or sequential) of a non-sucrose carbohydrate syrup from a first applicator and a sucrose syrup from a second applicator. The dual applications of the syrups are applied without an active drying step between applications. The process results in a coated food product with reduced clumping and a desired crystallized appearance even with the reduced levels of sugar.

A method for making candies comprises steps of: a) providing oil, sugar, syrup, emulsifier, protein powder and hydrated colloid; b) evenly stirring the materials in a deoxygenated environment with a pressure of 10˜50 mmHg and a temperature of 115˜125° C. to form a stuffing; c) cooling the stuffing to 24˜26° C. under a relative humidity of 10˜15% and a pressure of 10˜50 mmHg; d) increasing the pressure of the stuffing to 370˜390 mmHg, adding dormant probiotic powder into the stuffing, and evenly mixing the stuffing to form a sugar core; e) increasing to atmospheric pressure for the sugar core; f) in the absence of air, encapsulating the sugar core with a encapsulating sugar mass at a temperature of 50˜60° C. to form a probiotic sugar bar; and g) stretching the probiotic sugar bar, and then cooling down the temperature to 18-22° C. within 5 seconds and cutting the probiotic sugar bar to form candies.
