Embodiment 1

[0053] The sweetened milk mixture foam was spray dried using a nitrogen sparge, resulting in a low density and highly porous (30-70% closed porosity) spray dried sweet milk powder. The initial formulation of the sweetened milk mix was 70% whole milk powder, 15% sucrose and 15% maltodextrin (dry basis). Conventional molds are then loosely filled with this powder. The mold was covered and heated in a convection oven to raise the temperature of the powder above its glass transition temperature (Tg). No compaction is performed prior to heating. The oven temperature was set at 280°F (about 137°C) and the dessert was placed in the oven for about 10 minutes. Cool the confection and remove it from the mold.

[0054] The crumb or confectionery center is then coated with traditional chocolate or a variety of compound coatings.

[0055] The final product is lightweight and quickly dissolves in the mouth, and is non-stick. It provides high levels of milk solids (75%) and has a fresh ...

Embodiment 2

[0057] The dairy-based mixture is dried to produce a low density and highly porous (30-70% closed porosity) powder. The initial formulation of the dairy-based blend was 70% whole milk powder, 0-15% sucrose, and 15-30% low DE corn syrup solids (dry basis). This powder is then loose-filled in conventional molds to produce preformed flakes or preformed individual pieces. The powder is then heated above the glass transition temperature of the powder in a covered mold or by exposing the powder to moist air (12-21% RH (relative humidity)) to sinter the product. No compaction is performed prior to heating. The oven temperature was set at 240°F (about 115.5°C) and the dessert was placed in the oven for about 8 minutes. The confectionary product is then cooled to achieve a solid state. This product is characterized by a density of 0.1-0.6 g / ml, a closed porosity of 15-70%, an open porosity of 10-45%, and a total porosity of 15-90%.

[0058] This crumble or dessert center is then co...

Embodiment 3

[0061] Two or more powders / granules with different physical properties can be used to form unique products. Powders / granules may be amorphous or crystalline (one must be at least partially in the glassy state and one must have a minimum closed porosity such that when the two materials are mixed the mixture has a closed porosity of at least 15%) . Examples of powders include, but are not limited to: milk powder, fruit powder, Nesquik, Milo, flavoring and coloring. The products produced by the following applications are characterized by a density of 0.1-0.6 g / ml, a closed porosity of 15-70%, an open porosity of 10-45%, and a total porosity of 15-90%. This application can be used in the following ways:

Abstract

The invention provides a sintered powdered confection and methods for making the same.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to sintered powdered confectionery. Background of the invention [0002] US Patent 4,394,395 to Rostagno et al., entitled "Process for the Production of Molded Food Products by Sintering", relates to the preparation of individual molded food products from powdered food starting materials, especially low-fat, high-carbohydrate-containing starting materials Methods. The molded powdered starting material is exposed to reduce moisture in the final product and pressurized to compact the particles prior to sintering. The resulting product from this method is often hard, brittle or dry. [0003] There is a need to provide confectionery products that produce a light-eating, fast-dissolving sensation. The crispy form is one in which the texture is characterized by a melt-in-the-mouth quality, is non-greasy, has a porous structure, and is relatively brittle. Summary of the invention [0004] It is an object of the present i...
