A process for preparing pastilles on the basis of a pastille mass whose main constituent is a consistency agent selected from the group consisting of gum arabic, starch, pectin, agar and mixtures thereof, optionally with the addition of gelatin, and which, in addition to water, further comprises, as required, saccharose, starch syrup, other saccharides, common salt, colouring agents, aromatic agents and/or other flavouring agents is disclosed. The distinctive features of the process reside in that the pastille mass is imparted a dry solids content exceeding 80% by weight, whereupon flavour and colour are adjusted as desired by adequate additions of coloring agents, aromatic agents, citric acid and/or other flavouring agents to the mass, whereupon the resulting batch is mixed in the absence of air before dosed moulding is carried out from a moulding chamber in plastic moulds treated with a release agent, the mass in the moulding chamber and, during the moulding operation, in the moulds being surrounded by air which is humidified with water to a humidity in equilibrium with the vapour pressure of the pastille mass. |
