METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF SOFT CARAMEL Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: food processing industry, in particular production of soft caramel.

SUBSTANCE: claimed method includes blending and boiling of at least sweetener, plasticizer, emulsifier, and structure-forming agent up to predetermined dry matter content. As emulsifier and structure-forming agent mixture of soluble food-grade multibasic acid salt and preparation obtained by subsequent extraction of biomass of Pythium ultimum micromycete with non-polar extractant in above-critical state, water, alkali, water, acid, water, alkali, and water followed by conjugation of the first extract with solid residue is used. Ratio of salt and preparation from biomass is approximately equivalent to acid residue valence of abovementioned salt and free hydroxyl group number of abovementioned preparation.
