ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a new process for gasifying confection by means of incorporation of a gas enclosed in the head space of a container and recirculation of the gas through a fused sugar mass, equalization of the size of the bubbles and their homogenization. The incorporation of the gases is affected at the lower part of the pressure vessel, just below an agitator. The gas enters the container as a fine vaporous curtain directed toward the lower surface of an agitator, gas is fractured by the agitator and dispersed into the sugar mass. Large size bubbles and the presence of a undesirable quantity of candy dust in the finished product having a diameter inferior to 1 millimeter is avoided.
Thus, the quantity of waste product produced by the present method ranges only between about 15 to 20% instead of the prior art typical 30 to 35%.
Moreover, this technique allows operation at a most convenient pressure. The candy thus obtained mainly shows fragments or pieces with a mesh size between 1-4.5 mm, the diameter of bubbles of occluded gas vary between 0.3 and 0.01 mm, and when put inside the mouth it will produce at least 10 popping or crackling sounds per gram of gasified candy, having an intensity superior to 2 to 3 decibels. Determination of the popping or crackling power of the gasified confection is carries out by means of a test method, under conditions similar to human consumption which produces a graphic record of the number, intensity and frequency as well as the average and accumulated value of the popping or crackling sounds per gram of candy.
