CONFECTIONARY PRODUCT IN THE FORM OF CANDY Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A23G3/42 A23G3/46 A23G3/52 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry, to its confectionary branch. Disclosed is a confectionary product in the form of a candy, which includes a body formed from a whipped mass obtained from sugar sand, molasses, inulin, gelatin, dry curd, vegetable fat, citric acid, sodium citrate, pectin, flavoring agents and dyes, by casting whipped mass into starch molds and subsequent coating with a polishing agent or glaze, note here that following ratio of initial components is used, wt.%: molasses 15.0–40.0; granulated sugar 20.0–35.0; inulin 2.0–12.0; vegetable fat 2.0–12.0; dry curd 2.0–12.0; gelatin 1.5–4.0; polishing agent or glaze 0.2–34.0; citric acid 0.00–0.30; sodium citrate 0.00–0.10; pectin 0.00–0.30; flavoring agents 0.01–0.2; dyes 0.01–0.2, wherein the article is characterized by a weight fraction of moisture of 15.0–16.0 %, water activity of 0.730–0.740, density of 1.01–1.03 g/cm³, fat weight fraction 10.0–11.0 % and structural and mechanical characteristics, namely, surface puncture force 280–290 g, hardness 4,525–4,535 g, deformation height 16.0–17.0 mm, compression 1,015–1,025 g/s, maximum compression force 5,075–5,085 g. Confectionary product additionally contains flavoring additives and/or jelly filling produced with nozzles that perform successive molding into starch molds first of the whipped mass, then of the jelly filling and again of the whipped mass. For polishing, a wax-fat mixture is used or confectionary or chocolate glaze is used, and also used is dry curd, which is a fermented natural product, ripened under action of lactic acid bacteria and dried on spray drying.

EFFECT: invention provides development of a confectionary product with stable structural and mechanical characteristics, improved organoleptic properties in terms of taste due to use of dry fermented curd, low sweetness due to inulin and increased nutritive and biological value due to the presence of easily digestible whey proteins, macro- and microelements in the composition.
