[0002] As a natural oil rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, algae oil has received more and more attention in recent years and has been widely used in food, health care products and other fields. As a new type of healthy snack, algae oil gel candy is loved by consumers for its good taste and rich nutrition.

[0003] However, there are some problems in the production process of traditional algae oil gel candy:

[0004] In the traditional algae oil soft candy production process, the following problems are common in the raw material mixing process:

[0005] 1. Algae oil oxidation: Algae oil is a kind of oil with a high content of unsaturated fatty acids. It is easy to undergo oxidation reaction with oxygen in the air, producing odor and harmful substances, and reducing product quality.

[0006] 2. Uneven mixing: Algae oil is a viscous liquid. When mixed with gelling agents and other candy ingredients, it is easy to stratify and become uneven, affecting product quality.

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, some attempts have been made to improve the prior art, such as adding antioxidants to algae oil to solve the problem of algae oil oxidation, but the cost of adding oxidants is high, and the safety of some antioxidants is controversial. High shear mixers are used to solve the problem of uneven mixing, but they are easy to destroy the structure of algae oil and affect product quality.

[0008] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing algae oil gel candy raw material mixing device to overcome the defects of the prior art. Utility Model Content
