AERATED CONFECTIONARY PRODUCT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC A23G3/36 A23G3/52 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to an aerated confectionary product based on saccharides. Disclosed is a dry foamed confectionary product comprising: a) a texture modifier selected from inulin, modified starch and maltodextrin; b) a saccharide mass comprising: i) a basic saccharide comprising polydextrose, and ii) a stabilizing saccharide selected from sucrose, dextrose, maltitol, isomalt and xylitol. Also disclosed is a method for production of a dry foamed confectionary product involving the following stages: a) introducing a confectionary mass comprising a basic saccharide comprising polydextrose, a stabilizing saccharide selected from sucrose, dextrose, maltitol, isomalt or xylitol, and a texture modifier selected from inulin, modified starch and maltodextrin, into an extruder operating under pressure and providing mixing and heating; b) mixing and heating the confectionary mass in an extruder to a temperature where the entire polydextrose is melted and liquid, and crystals of the stabilizing saccharide selected from sucrose, dextrose, maltitol, isomalt or xylitol are substantially not melted; c) adding supercritical carbon dioxide to the extruder under high pressure conditions of at least 73 atm (7.39 MPa); d) mixing carbon dioxide with confectionary mass; e) forced extrusion of confectionary mass together with carbon dioxide through outlet hole in extruder; f) aerating the confectionary mass as it arrives from the extruder with high pressure into the medium outside the extruder with ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure; g) forming bundle, tape or sheet from aerated confectionary mass while passing through outlet hole in extruder and h) molding aerated confectionary mass to produce separate products.

EFFECT: invention allows to produce aerated confectionary goods with a crispy structure at reduction of consumed energy at all stages of the process, which are required for manufacture of ready confectionary products.
