Disclosed is an apparatus for making a pastry in the shape of a cone, including a base carrying a plate, a cone holder removably mounted on the plate, at least one conical mold removably mounted on the cone holder, and a guide to guide a tool for depositing a preparation intended forming the pastry. The guide and cone holder are arranged so the depositing tool and the conical mold move with respect to each other to deposit, on the mold, the preparation to become the pastry to obtain at least one cone of the preparation formed around the conical mold. Also disclosed are equipment including the apparatus and the depositing tool, a method for making a pastry in the shape of a cone from a preparation intended to become the pastry by using the apparatus or the equipment, as well as the pastry in the shape of a cone.

The present application relates to environmentally friendly, biodegradable drinking straw manufactured from renewable resources and more specifically to drinking straws manufactured from soy protein isolate and the manufacturing process thereof. The manufacturing process and its products are within the scope of this disclosure.

Disclosed is a method for preparing a multilayer confectionary product including a paste confectionery center, surrounded by an intermediate layer of chewy candy material, surrounded in turn by a layer of amorphous candy material, to the multilayer confectionery product obtained by the process and to an apparatus for producing the multilayer confectionary product. The multilayer confectionary product can be further coated with a hard coating.

Disclosed herein is a mechanized production line of floodeh (faloudeh) comprising three main sections including, faloodeh (faloudeh) noodle production section, syrup production section and mixing & flavoring section. To establish the whole production line 20 sq. meter area to produce 500 Kg of product is needed. The whole production line is made up of stainless steel.

The present invention provides a high-moisture-content gummi candy as a novel fruity confection, including a gummi candy body having a moisture value of not lower than 20% by weight, a pH of not higher than 4.0, and a water activity value of not higher than 0.86 and a collagen casing coating and encapsulating the gummi candy body. Even with a high moisture content, namely, even with a moisture value of the gummi candy body as high as not lower than 20% by weight, the high-moisture-content gummi candy is remarkably reduced in syneresis, surface melting, stickiness, and the like, has an excellent shape retention ability, has a fresh flavor and an elastic texture, and is suitable for distribution at normal temperature.

The present invention is directed to non-chewing gum confections and in particular to a confection having at least two textures (dual-textured confectionery). A dual-textured confectionery having a chewy center and a crunchy coating is disclosed. The chewy center may be a gummy candy and the crunchy coating may be a discontinuous coating that comprises small irregular pieces of candy. A method for making the dual-textured confectionery is also disclosed.

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.

A method of manufacturing confectionery shells using cold-stamping is provided. The method can also be used to manufacture multi-layered confectionery shells and/or confectionery shells comprising inclusions. Scraping means are passed outwardly over the boundary of the mould cavity in two or more different outward directions.
