Patent

CA 2411959

Disclosed are improved, intermediate moisture sweetened gelled food compositions fortified with calcium supplied by calcium phosphate that is dispersed in an oil and/or fat. The gelled compositions comprise: A) about 55 to 85 % by weight nutritive carbohydrate sweeteners; B) sufficient amounts of a gelling agent(s) to provide a gel strength of about 2-8 kg/cm2; C) about 50 to 1500 mg/oz total calcium; and D) about 9 to 20 % moisture, and E) about to 0.1 % to 5 % of an edible fatty triglyceride. Also disclosed are methods for the preparation of such fruit products involving forming a concentrated slurry of calcium phosphate having a particle size such that at least 90 % are less than 150 µm dispersed in at least a portion of the oil and/or fat, forming a gellable blend and admixing the gellable composition with the slurry to form a gellable calcium fortified composition and forming into desired shaped and sized pieces.

L'invention concerne des compositions alimentaires intermédiaires améliorées, gélifiées et édulcorées, à teneur en humidité, que l'on fortifie au calcium par adjonction de phosphate de calcium dispersé dans de l'huile et/ou de la graisse. Les compositions renferment: A) entre environ 55 et 85 %, en poids, d'édulcorants nutritifs à base d'hydrates de carbone; B) un ou plusieurs agents de gélification en quantité suffisante pour fournir une force du gel dans une fourchette d'environ 2-8 kg/cm2; C) entre environ 50 et 1 500 mg/oz de calcium au total; D) teneur en humidité comprise entre environ 9 et 20 %, et E) entre environ 0,1 et 5 % de triglycéride gras comestible. L'invention concerne également des procédés relatifs à l'élaboration de produits à base de fruits de ce genre, qui consistent à former une suspension épaisse concentrée de phosphate de calcium dont les particules ont une taille telle qu'au moins 90 % mesurent moins de 150 µm en dispersion dans au moins une partie de l'huile et/ou de la graisse. On obtient ainsi un mélange gélifiable, et cette composition gélifiable est ajoutée à la suspension épaisse, donnant une composition gélifiable fortifiée au calcium qui peut prendre les formes et les tailles voulues.
