Provided is an approach for obtaining a high quality xylitol-containing candy in a short period of time. A candy composition according to the present invention contains a sugar composition portion comprising xylitol as a main component and a different carbohydrate, and a crystallization promoting agent promoting crystallization of the xylitol. The crystallization promoting agent is a substance which leaves solid residues in a melt of the sugar composition portion when a powder of the crystallization promoting agent in an amount of 0.5 g is added to 100 g of the melt maintained at 90° C., and stirred for 30 minutes. The content of the crystallization promoting agent is preferably from 0.5 parts by mass to 10 parts by mass relative to the candy composition. The crystallization promoting agent is preferably selected from a tea powder, a coffee powder, a cocoa powder, a talc powder, a calcium carbonate powder, a silicic anhydride powder, a magnesium carbonate powder, and combinations thereof. Preferably, the multi-region confectionery product 10 according to the present invention comprises a defined shaped region 30 comprising a solidified material of the candy composition, and at least a portion of the defined shaped region 30 is exposed.

The present invention is a water-soluble form of lipophilic molecules contained in liposomes. In one embodiment, the lipophilic molecule is crystalline lutein and the lutein-loaded liposomes are included in pharmaceutical products, medical devices, and dietary supplements industry, with potential for chewable tablets, fortification of beverages, effervescent tablets, uncoated tablets, nutritional bars, and functional foods in addition to cosmetic industry.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a simple method in which, when distilling a mixture of ethanol, water, and biological raw materials, more aromatic components can be obtained and undesirable odors can be prevented from transferring to the distillate. To achieve this, ethanol and water are added during distillation.

Functional optical equipment such as lenses, prisms, optical flats, and color filters are made from hard candy, resulting in working optics that can be treated as either experimental equipment or confectionaries. These hard candy optics are manufactured by an extremely precise casting process, which avoids the need to polish or reshape the candy after casting and allows for the production of a wider selection of optical equipment. This process also allows the inclusion of features that expand the applications of the hard candy optics, but are not themselves optically functional.
