CA 2199965

The present invention pertains to a method for preparing a confection from a sugar or sugarless bulking agent which comprises, in the downstream direction of conveyance, the continuous sequence of steps of: a) introducing the bulking agent into the barrel of a twin screw extruder equipped with multiple heating zones; b) extrusion mixing the bulking agent in a first series of heating zones to melt the bulking agent, wherein the first series of heating zones is configured to include a minimum time for melting the bulking agent; c) extrusion mixing the melted bulking agent from the first series of heating zones to an orifice plug, wherein the orifice plug is configured to include a minimum time for melting the bulking agent; d) extrusion mixing the melted bulking agent from the orifice plug to a heating zone having a pressure control valve, wherein the pressure control valve is configured to include a minimum time for melting the bulking agent; e) extrusion mixing the melted bulking agent from the heating zone having the pressure control valve to a heating zone having a vent port, wherein the vent port is configured to include a minimum evaporation time to reduce the moisture content of the confection to less than about 2 %; and f) extrusion mixing the melted bulking agent from the heating zone having the vent port to the exit of the extruder to form a glassy confection. This invention also pertains to confections prepared by the inventive method.

La présente invention concerne un procédé pour préparer une confiserie à partir d'une base de sucre ou sans sucre qui consiste à effectuer les opérations suivantes, dans la direction d'amont en aval: (a) introduire la base dans le cylindre d'une extrudeuse à deux vis pourvue de zones multiples de chauffage; (b) extruder en mélangeant la base dans une première série de zones de chauffage, pour fondre la base, cette première série de zones de chauffage étant agencée pour assurer la fusion de la base en un minimum de temps; (c) extruder en mélangeant la base fondue de la première série de zones de chauffage vers un obturateur à orifice, qui est agencé de manière à assurer la fusion de la base en un minimum de temps; (d) extruder en mélangeant la base fondue depuis l'obturateur à orifice, vers une zone de chauffage ayant une vanne de régulation de la pression, laquelle est agencée pour assurer la fusion de la base en un minimum de temps; (e) extruder en mélangeant la base fondue de la zone de chauffage ayant la vanne de régulation de la pression vers une zone de chauffage ayant un évent, lequel est agencé pour assurer un temps d'évaporation minimum aboutissant à une diminution du taux d'humidité de la confiserie à moins de 2 %; et (f) extruder en mélangeant la base fondue depuis la zone de chauffage ayant l'évent vers la sortie de l'extrudeuse, pour former une confiserie ayant l'aspect du verre. Cette invention concerne également des articles de confiserie fabriqués par ce procédé.
