PROCESS FOR PRODUCING GUM-DROPS MADE OF TWO DIFFERENT MASSES, IN PARTICULAR FRUIT GUM-DROP MASSES

摘要

In a process for producing gum-drops made of two different masses, in particular fruit gum-drop masses, also in combination with other mouldable candy masses such as meringue and/or licorice, moulds are filled with the candy masses. The moulds have at least one outer ring-shaped cavity and at least one inner cavity. During casting, the at least two cavities are mutually separated by a wall. The cavities are filled with different candy masses. The candy mass cast into the outer cavity has a higher melting temperature than the candy mass cast into the next inner cavity. The two candy masses are cooled down to a temperature below their melting temperatures until they solidify. The solidified moulded bodies made of the two candy masses are removed from the mould. The nested inner and outer layers of candy mass remain substantially intact and the mould elements (solid mould elements, mould sprinkled with flour) are removed. The nested moulded bodies are thermally treated at a temperature higher than the melting temperature of the inner candy mass but lower than the melting temperature of the outer candy mass, so that the inner candy mass melts and substantially fills like a disk the outer ring, which remains solid.
