A method for the production of clear, amorphous, sugarless hard candy from an aqueous sorbitol solution

摘要

A clear amorphous sugar-free hard candy prepared on a continuous basis from an aqueous sorbitol solution by heating such solution to a moisture-content level of less than about 5% by weight and then cooling the resulting mass to a temperature of from about 160 DEG F. to about 200 DEG F. before providing crystal nucleation sites sufficient to obtain a hard candy set time of no more than about 30 minutes in a metal mold.
