Abstract
An aerated confection containing particulate material and method for making the same is disclosed. The method allows the incorporation of particulate material at a level of from 1 to 50.0% by weight based on the total weight of the aerated confection. The aerated confection preferably includes hexametaphosphate as a gel-stiffening agent.
Claims46
An aerated confection comprising from 1.0 to 50% by weight based on the total weight of the aerated confection of at least one particulate material and having a moisture content of from 1 to 5% by weight based on the total weight.
An aerated confection comprising from 1.0 to 50% by weight based on the total weight of the aerated confection of at least one particulate material and having a moisture content of from 8 to 30% by weight based on the total weight.
A method of forming a particulate containing aerated mallow mixture comprising the steps of:
- a) providing an aerated mallow mixture having a density of from 1.5 to 4 pounds per gallon and under positive pressure;
- b) adding to said aerated mallow mixture at least one particulate material in an amount of from 1 to 50% by weight based on the weight of the mallow mixture while maintaining said aerated mallow mixture under positive pressure;
- c) providing said aerated mallow mixture having said particulate material to an extruder and extruding said aerated mallow mixture having said particulate material into a shape.
