ABSTRACT:
A process for producing a gasified solid product comprising an undissolved gas in a matrix of solid material comprising a fusible sugar. In the process, an aqueous solution of fusible sugar is continuously fed to an evaporator. The solution is continuously heated while it is flowed through the evaporator to drive off water and produce a concentrated fused sugar composition whose moisture content is low enough so that, at room temperature, the composition will congeal to a glass having a viscosity high enough to contain pressurized gas bubbles therein. The concentrated fused sugar composition is continuously discharged from the evaporator and a gas at a pressure of at least about 400 psig is introduced into a stream of the concentrated fused sugar composition. The concentrated fused sugar composition and gas are flowed through an in-line mixer and there subjected to intense agitation sufficient to achieve uniform dispersion of the gas throughout the sugar composition, thus producing a gasified fused sugar composition containing small evenly distributed bubbles of undissolved gas at a concentration of at least about 3 ml. (STP) gas per gram of concentrated sugar composition. The gasified fused sugar composition is cooled to produce a product comprising a solid matrix comprising sugar and having the properties of a glass and, contained within said matrix, evenly distributed small bubbles of the gas.
