METHOD FOR THE CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION OF AERATED CONFECTIONS

摘要

A process for preparing a grained confection from a supersaturated sugar solution on a continuous basis is provided. A homogeneous aqueous solution comprised of corn syrup and sucrose is continuously fed to a heating apparatus having an inlet and an outlet with the heating means interposed therebetween to provide an increasing temperature to the solution from the inlet to the outlet. The solution is heated to a predetermined temperature and water vapor is continuously separated from the solution to form a sugar solution of a predetermined concentration which is supersaturated at up to 85.degree.C. The concentrated sugar solution is continuously cooled to below its saturation temperature and a grained confection is produced. The confection has minute sugar crystals therein.
