A comestible may include a solid mixture of at least 98% by weight inulin fiber by weight and 1.6% by weight other edible ingredients. The comestible may be a hard candy, cotton or spun fiber candy or nut or seed brittle. The comestible may be formed heating inulin fiber powder to its melting point or above and allowing the melted inulin fiber to cool and harden.

A method for producing a gummy confectionary containing an active ingredient with alternatives to the use of gelatin as a gelling agent. In an embodiment, the active ingredient is cannabidiol (CBD), and the gelling agent is a mixture of plant-based gums and polysaccharides. The method of production comprises the heated activation of the gelling agents in the presence of water and sucrose before adding a sweetener mixture comprising tapioca syrup and sucrose. The active ingredient is introduced as an emulsion of fractionated coconut oil, flavoring, lecithin, and CBD in water. The resultant mixture is colored, and pH adjusted before being molded into the desired shape. The perceived bitterness associated with the use of CBD in a confectionary may be measurably reduced from conventional gelatin and or pectin based confectionary.

A method for preparing a first component of a comestible composition is provided including forming an extrudate of the first component. The extrudate is cooled to a first temperature. The extruder is further cooled to a second temperature. The first temperature is greater than the second temperature.

The subject matter discloses a sweet aerated edible product comprising a fiber composition comprising at least 40 percent by weight of fibers made of a Polysaccharide molecule, said aerated sweet edible product is manufactured using a process comprising heating the fiber composition to a melting state, rotating the melted fiber composition at high speed, generating strands from the melted fiber composition and outputting the strands. The subject matter also discloses a sweet aerated edible product comprising a fiber composition comprising non-sweet fibers with a sweetening agent.

The present invention relates to a sugar confectionery composition comprising an alcohol-containing phase and a sweet-containing phase, wherein the composition, when set, is in the form of a single-phase amorphous mass. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a sugar confectionery composition, comprising steps of: preparing an alcohol-containing phase at a first temperature; preparing a sweet-containing phase at a second temperature; incorporating one of the two phases into another to form a mixture; setting the mixture to form the composition; wherein, when set, the composition is in the form of a single-phase amorphous mass.

Disclosed is the process for preparation of a multicoloured hard candy with at least one white portion, not containing titanium dioxide.

A mochi-like food product and an ice confection having a mochi-like texture under room temperature and a production method for an ice confection. A mochi-like food product includes a starch gellant and a sweetener. The starch gellant contains kudzu starch serving as a main ingredient, and includes no potato starch, sweet potato starch, corn starch, or wheat starch. The sweetener includes wasanbon, includes no refined sugar, glucose, or synthetic sweeteners. The mochi-like food product can be frozen to be served as an ice confection. The mochi-like food product can be provided as a tasty ice confection that has chewiness like uiro, is free of allergenicity, has a lower GI value than sugar, would not be too hard upon being frozen to be served as an ice confection, is easy to eat, and has unique thickness or gumminess.

The present invention relates to a maple syrup product having a low water content. The maple syrup product retains the physical and palatable properties of untreated maple syrup while having a prolonged shelf-life. It can be advantageously used to sweeten beverages (such as hot beverages) and in the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions (such as throat lozenges) and/or confectionery.
