Abstract
A method for preparing an aqueous sugar frosting mix by grinding an aqueous sugar saturated solution containing dispersed crystalline sugar in said saturated solution to produce a smooth, opaque, viscous syrup suitable for use as a frosting mix on cereals, pastries, cakes and the like.
Claims21
A method for preparing an aqueous sugar frosting mix comprising the following steps:
- (1) forming an aqueous solution at temperatures ranging from room temperature to about 180.degree. F. by adding an edible, water soluble crystal growth inhibitor selected from the group consisting of a hydrated protein, hydrocolloids, a first sugar and mixtures thereof to an aqueous liquid;
- (2) adding a sufficient amount of a second sugar to said aqueous solution of step (1) to provide an aqueous sugar saturated solution comprising a crystalline sugar, wherein said second sugar is different from said first sugar dispersed in said aqueous sugar saturated solution;
- and
- (3) grinding said crystalline containing saturated solution of step (2) to provide a viscous syrup having sugar crystals ranging in size from about 0.1 to about 50 microns.
