preparation example Construction

[0069] The preparation of hard confectionery includes mixing and heating sugar, any sugar alcohol and / or any other carbohydrate bulking agent, and / or diluent (such as water) to form a melt; cooking the melt; Remove from the melt; agitate to cool the melt until the melt becomes a plastic-like processable mass; while the melt is a plastic-like hard confectionery mass, incorporate the remaining other ingredients; and The plastic-like mixture is formed into a hard confectionery composition of desired size and shape. The ingredients making up the flavor composition may be added to the hard confectionery composition independently, or the ingredients may be combined before they are added to the confection mass.

[0070] In some embodiments, the hard confectionery composition is prepared using conventional methods and equipment, such as an open flame cooker, vacuum cooker, or scraped surface cooker (also known as a high-speed atmospheric cooker). When using an open flame cooker, the ...

Embodiment 1-2

[0094] Examples 1-2: Non-Fruit Flavored Multi-Region Hard Confections

[0095] The compositions used to form the outer and inner regions of the non-fruit flavored multi-region hard confectionery are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0096] Table 1: Example 1 (mentholyptus to peppermint flavor attributes)

[0097]

[0098] Table 2: Example 2 (Weaker to Stronger Mint Eucalyptus Flavor Attributes)

[0099]

[0100] As shown in Tables 1 and 2, the flavor compositions of the inner zone and the outer zone are different and are formulated to provide three different flavor attributes that can be distinguished by consumers.

[0101] During consumption, Example 1 exhibited a change from a first menthol / eucalyptus (mint eucalyptus) flavor profile from the outer zone flavor composition to a combination of the outer zone flavor composition and the inner zone flavor composition. The transition from the second flavor attribute provided by the combination of , to the third peppermint flavor ...

Embodiment 3-4

[0103] Examples 3-4: Fruit Flavored Multi-Regional Hard Confections

[0104] Compositions for the outer and inner regions of the fruit-flavored multi-region confectionery were prepared by mixing the ingredients shown in Table 3.

[0105] Table 3: Examples 3-4 (Cool Cherry Flavor to Enhanced Cherry Flavor Attributes)

[0106]

[0107] As shown in Table 3, the flavor compositions of the inner zone and the outer zone were different and were formulated to provide three different flavor attributes that could be distinguished by consumers.

[0108] In Example 3, both the outer zone and the inner zone included cherry flavor and cooling agent. The outer zone also includes menthol and eucalyptus. The inner zone does not include menthol or eucalyptus, but does include food acid to enhance the cherry fruit flavor. During consumption, the cherry flavor and cool freshness can be tasted all the time. The first flavor attribute of the confectionery is a sweet cherry flavor, which then...

Abstract

Disclosed herein are multi-region hard confectioneries comprising 10 to 60% by weight of an inner region comprising a hard confectionary composition having a flavor profile, and 40 to 90% by weight of an outer region comprising a hard confectionary composition having a flavor profile distinguishable from the flavor profile of the inner region during consumption of the confectionary. The outer region substantially surrounds the inner region. The thickness of the outer region and the volume of the inner region are configured to sequentially provide a transition from a first flavor profile to a second flavor profile to a third flavor profile such that the first flavor profile is provided by the composition of the outer region, the second flavor profile is provided by a combination of the compositions of the outer region and the inner region, and the third flavor profile is provided by the composition of the inner region.

Description

Background technique [0001] Hard candies, ie hard confectionery, are usually made from a single hard candy composition with a single flavor attribute. Thus, the consumer experiences a uniform flavor perception during consumption of the confection. [0002] Therefore, there is a need for hard candies that bring consumers more pleasant enjoyment. In particular, consumers desire products with improved taste and a noticeable taste change during consumption. Such compositions would provide a more anticipated and enjoyable experience for the consumer due to the flavor transition of the hard confection when consuming the hard confection. [0003] Consumers often use hard candy to relieve the discomfort of a sore throat, in addition to consuming it purely for the pleasure. The most common ingredient in such compositions is menthol, which is sometimes combined with eucalyptus oil. However, the concentration of menthol that is effective in soothing a sore throat is also accompanied ...
