The present invention is directed to a continuous process for making a high solids confectionery product containing agar-agar using high temperature short time processing. The process comprises (a) preparing a homogenous mixture comprising agar-agar, an agar-agar dispersing agent in an amount sufficient to disperse and suspend the agar-agar to control hydration when in contact with water and heat, a sweetening effective amount of a sweetener, and water, said homogenous mixture containing a solids content ranging from about 60 % to about 80 % by weight solids; (b) feeding the homogenous mixture of step (a) to a heating apparatus having an inlet and outlet with heating means interposed therebetween, and subjecting said mixture to a high temperature short time continuous process under conditions sufficient to cook and concentrate the mixture and to evaporate the water to form water vapor; (c) removing the formed water vapor in step (b); and (d) cooling said mixture, thereby forming a high solids confectionery product, all of said steps (a), (b), (c) and (d) being conducted substantially continuously in a continuous process.

La présente invention concerne un procédé continu de fabrication de confiseries à haute teneur en solides contenant de l'agar-agar par un traitement à haute température de courte durée. Ce procédé consiste (a) à préparer un mélange homogène comprenant de l'agar-agar, un agent de dispersion d'agar-agar en quantité suffisante pour disperser et maintenir en suspension l'agar-agar afin de réguler l'hydratation au contact de l'eau et de la chaleur, une quantité efficace d'édulcorant, et de l'eau, ledit mélange homogène contenant une teneur en solides d'environ 60 % à environ 80 % en poids; (b) à injecter le mélange homogène de l'étape (a) dans un appareil chaufant pourvu d'une entrée et d'une sortie avec des organes chauffants interposés, et à soumettre ledit mélange à un traitement continu à haute température de courte durée dans des conditions adaptées pour la cuisson et la concentration du mélange, et l'évaporation de l'eau afin de former de la vapeur d'eau; (c) à éliminer la vapeur d'eau formée dans l'étape (b); et (d) à refroidir ledit mélange, formant ainsi un produit de confiserie à haute teneur en solides, toutes ces étapes (a, b, c) et (d) étant réalisées de façon sensiblement continue au cours d'un traitement continu.
