Low cariogenic and low-laxation chewy confections comprising a non-cariogenic sweetener comprising erythritol and a doctoring agent comprising at least one of sucromalt, linear inulin, branched inulin, brown rice syrup, indigestible dextrin, polydextrose, isomaltooligosaccharide, and soluble corn fiber are provided. Methods for preparing low cariogenic and low-laxation chewy confections are also provided.

The present invention relates to a process for preparing a hard caramel containing a trehalulose-containing composition, and to a hard caramel prepared according to the process.

The invention relates to a heat treatment device for heating liquid confectionery product, including: a shell body enclosing an interior space, a plurality of successive spaced apart segmental baffles in a segmented arrangement within the interior space, a bundle of heat exchange pipes within the interior space, the pipes extending through the segmental baffles, and an inlet through which to be heated liquid confectionery product is allowed to enter the interior space, and an outlet through which heated liquid confectionery product is allowed to exit the interior space, wherein the successive segmental baffles are arranged such as to form a flow channel extending between the inlet and the outlet, wherein the segmental baffles have a rectangular shape, and wherein the shell body has a rectangular internal cross-section, such that the flow channel has a substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape along its length. The invention further relates to a method for heating liquid confectionery product.

Pectin-based melt-to-make bulk gummy mix is disclosed that is shelf stable and formulated, optionally with flavors and colors, in a bulk mix form that is convenient for the next step in manufacturing individual serving pectin gummies. The bulk pectin-based gummy mix can be formulated by companies making infused gummies in a convenient manner to consistently manufacture pectin-based gummies in any size and dose. Methods for making a storage stable bulk pectin-based gummy mix that is a precursor for making individual serving pectin gummies are disclosed, as well as methods for making individual serving pectin gummies from a storage stable bulk pectin-based gummy mix. Kits comprising a two-part pectin-based gummy mix and acidulent for initiating pectin gelling are also described for the convenient manufacture of individual serving pectin-based gummies.

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.
