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.

A system and method are provided for making strips of edible material. Edible material is contained in a hopper having a discharge opening including a first side and a second side. A discharge shaping roller is positioned so that its surface is adjacent to the first side and said second side. Similarly, a cooling roller is also positioned so that its surface is adjacent to the first side and the second side. Edible material passes between the first side, the second side, the cooling roller, and the discharge roller to from a strip of edible material that is deposited on the cooling roller. The cooling roller then cools the strip of edible material and it is separated from the cooling roller by a blade. Once the strip is separated from the cooling roller it is deposited on a base of edible material such as a cookie or wafer.

The invention relates to a confectionery product including a gelatine free chewy center comprising gellan, a layer of at least partially amorphous candy material surrounding said chewy center and optionally one or more additional coating layers surrounding the at least partially amorphous candy material layer. The confectionery product is added with dextrin for sugar reduction. The process for manufacturing said confectionery product is also disclosed.

The present invention relates generally to the field of aerated fat-based confectionery material. One aspect of the invention provides an aerated fat-based confectionery material having a continuous lipid phase and a porosity of between 1 and 80%, wherein, at a temperature at which the lipid phase has a solid lipid content between 0.1 and 80, the fat-based confectionery material comprises gas bubbles having at least 50% of their surface occupied by crystals, the crystals comprising a glyceride selected from the group consisting of monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, esters of monoglycerides, esters of diglycerides and combinations of these. Further aspects of the invention are a confectionery product comprising an aerated fat-based confectionery material and a process for forming an aerated fat-based confectionery material.

A method of rapidly coating a confectionery is described. The method includes the steps of providing a confectionery core, forming a first-coating surrounding the confectionery core by applying at least one layer of a first syrup followed by a first coating powder to the confectionery core to form the first-coating, and forming a final coating surrounding the first-coating by applying at least one layer of a finishing syrup to the first-coating to form the final-coating.

A coated confectionery is provided including a confectionery core and a shell surrounding said confectionery core. The shell includes a soft coating including at least one layer of a first coating material and a hard coating including at least one layer of a second coating material. The soft coating forms at least 25% of a total weight of said shell.

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.

Improved adhesion of powdered and particulate color and flavoring to dry snack foods such as, but not limited to: chips, pretzels, crackers, and puffed, popped, baked or extruded compositions is provided. The improved adhesive is a milk or water based composition with added high quality protein selected from one or more of milk, whey, milk concentrate, whey concentrate, isolated milk protein, soy concentrate, soy milk, soy isolate, egg, egg white, egg protein isolate, or combinations from animal, grain or legume sources with an essential amino acid composition that meets human growth and maintenance standards. The improved adhesive is applied to the surface of snack foods providing an adhesive surface for binding dry flavoring and colors. Examples show snack food compositions with improved nutrient content including reduced fat content, an increase in protein content and a beneficial increase in the protein quality measured by the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score.

Described herein is a food product comprising a solid chocolate body (2) having an outer surface. The product is characterized in that it comprises a closed wafer shell (4), containing said chocolate body (2) inside it.
