Candy Floss Composition And Apparatus For Making Chopped Candy Floss

摘要

A candy floss composition and an apparatus for creating individual pieces of candy floss that do not bond to one another are provided. The candy floss composition comprises about 99.99% to about 45% by weight of candy floss ingredients, and about 0.01% to about 55% by weight of vegetable fat, adjusted to bring the total weight percentage of the candy floss composition to 100%. Vegetable fat changes physical attributes of the candy floss ingredients. During the manufacture of candy floss, heat applied to the candy floss ingredients melts the vegetable fat and sugar to produce candy floss filaments comprising vegetable fat with a film of vegetable fat. When a slab of candy floss is chopped into individual pieces in a candy floss chopper apparatus, the vegetable fat film on each candy floss filament makes candy floss substantially soft and precludes bonding of individual pieces of candy floss to one another.
