Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a gelatin confectionery, and more particularly to a novel gelatin confectionery that is pleasing to the eye and has a new texture.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Gelatin confectionery having a specific gravity of 1.1 to 1.4 has been widely eaten as so-called gummy candy. Due to their chewy texture and flavor, gummy babies were the main buyers. However, in recent years, the sales volume of gummy has been declining. In this way, the reason why gummy can no longer meet the demands of the times is that the lack of fun as a sweet is a major factor, and a solution has been sought. Conventional gummy candy has been given various new features by making its shape into a cute animal shape, adding a bonus, or making it into a character product. However, the gradual decrease in sales volume as described above means that the above measures are limited by the characteristics of the gummy itself. Even with the animal types mentioned above, the reality is that in the case of gummy, it cannot be lifted to a three-dimensional cuteness because it cannot be filled exactly as it was molded. Moreover, the bonus and the character only pass the problem of the characteristic of the gummy itself to another place. Therefore, it is considered that making it three-dimensional is an important means to make gummy candies look fun. In that direction, for example, a combination of gelatin confectionery having almost the same characteristics is also performed. In this case, it is possible to give a three-dimensional effect, but it is not interesting because it does not look cute and the texture does not change. On the other hand, in the field of Japanese sweets, it is possible to please everyone by making them fun to see. However, in the case of Japanese sweets, they are expensive and inconvenient to carry, so they fall outside the category of ordinary sweets.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides a gelatin confectionery that is fun to look at and has a new texture by making an affordable gelatin confectionery three-dimensional. The purpose is.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the inventors of the present invention have conducted extensive studies, and as a result, by combining two or more gelatin confectionery having different specific gravities, a three-dimensional effect is obtained, and The present invention has been completed by finding that the confectionery has a new texture that has never existed before.

A feature of the present invention is that a gelatin confectionery having a three-dimensional appearance is obtained by combining gelatin confectionery having completely different textures, which is also made of gelatin as a raw material. Another feature of the present invention is that the gelatin confectioneries having different textures are integrated by adhering and fixing a welding liquid to the overlapping portions.

That is, the gelatin confectionery according to the present invention has a specific gravity of 1.2 to 1.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION As described above, according to the present invention, by combining gelatin confectioneries made from gelatin as raw materials and having different specific gravities and completely different textures, a three-dimensional effect and a novel effect are obtained. It is a textured gelatin candy.

Among the gelatin confections having different textures, the gelatin confection having a specific gravity of 1.2 to 1.5 is a gelatin confection belonging to the category of gummy. As a raw material of the gelatin confectionery belonging to the category of gummy, beef bone gelatin, pig skin gelatin, fish gelatin and the like can be used. Further, although the texture changes depending on the treatment method such as acid treatment or alkali treatment, various gelatins having different treatments can be naturally used in the present invention. Gummy texture also changes with residual water content. That is, it becomes harder as the water content decreases.

The method for producing gelatin confectionery belonging to the category of gummy confectionery is not particularly limited, and it can be produced by a general method for gummy confectionery. Gummy cakes are generally made as follows. First, gelatin having an appropriate strength, for example, jelly strength of 200 bloom, is dissolved in water and swelled, and kept at an appropriate temperature, for example, 60 ° C. Separately from this, a sugar solution composed of sugar and starch syrup is prepared, and the mixture is stirred and mixed with the gelatin solution previously kept warm. At the time of this mixing, it is general to add a fragrance or a dye. This solution is poured (filled) into starch that has been preliminarily cut into many molds, and placed in a drier to be dried. After that, the adhering starch is removed (depowder), and further oil is applied to the surface (oiling) so that many gummies do not adhere to each other, and a gummy confectionery is made.

On the other hand, gelatin confectionery having a specific gravity of 0.3 to 0.5 is a gelatin confectionery containing bubbles and belongs to the marshmallow category. As the raw material of the gelatin confectionery belonging to the category of marshmallow, the same raw material as that of the gelatin confectionery belonging to the category of gummy which is the gelatin confectionery having high specific gravity can be used.

The method for producing the gelatin confectionery belonging to the category of marshmallow is not particularly limited, and it can be produced by a general method of marshmallow. Marshmallows are generally made as follows. That is, a gelatin solution is prepared in the same manner as in the case of the gummy and kept warm. Separately, a sugar solution consisting essentially of sugar and starch syrup is prepared in advance, and the sugar solution and the gelatin solution which has been kept warm are mixed, and flavors and the like are appropriately added, and then the pressure rotor is added. Aerated to cool. This is extruded through a hole having an appropriate nozzle diameter. Marshmallows of various sizes and shapes can be made by changing the nozzle diameter and shape of the holes when extruding. It is also possible to sprinkle chocolate or the like on the surface of the marshmallow, except for the adhesive surface with the gummy. Furthermore, various things can be put in marshmallow. For example, chocolates such as general chocolate, quasi-chocolate, white chocolate, and chocolate paste, jams such as strawberry jam, orange jam, and apple jam, custard creams, and the like are included. As a method of putting these into marshmallows, a wrapping machine can be effectively used. That is, the aerated and cooled marshmallow raw material and the chocolates and the like to be put therein can be supplied to a wrapping machine to make various types of marshmallows containing the chocolates and the like therein.

According to the above method, gummy and marshmallow, which are gelatin confectionery having different specific gravities and different textures,
Make each separately. In the present invention, two or more of these gelatin confectioneries are combined into a three-dimensional object, but the size and shape can be changed depending on what the final three-dimensional object is. The final three-dimensional object is not particularly limited, and there are various things such as shapes imitating other foods, shapes imitating animals, vehicles, etc., for example, imitating foods such as sushi and hamburgers. Those are the preferred embodiments. For example, in the case of a combination of one marshmallow and one gummy, if you put the gummy into the shape and color of shrimp, salmon roe, fish, etc. and put it on the marshmallow, it will become a sushi shape,
The fun of looking is greatly improved. Also, if you put a marshmallow between both sides with gummy, it will become a hamburger shape, and it will also be fun to look at. Moreover, by combining gummy with different textures and marshmallow, the texture becomes completely new, which has never existed before. The present inventors have made the present invention in pursuit of the fun of the shape of a gummy candy, but in the present invention, not only the fun of the shape, but incidentally,
A new texture and deliciousness that can not be obtained with gummy alone are expressed,
We were able to make a new sweet that would be widely appreciated.

The method of combining gelatin confectionery having the above-mentioned difference in specific gravity into a three-dimensional confectionery is not particularly limited, and, for example, two or more gelatin confectioneries having a difference in specific gravity may be layered on each other. Examples of the method include a method in which they are fixed together and integrated, and a method in which two or more gelatin confectioneries having a difference in specific gravity are engaged or fitted with each other to be integrated. Among them, the present inventors have found that as a method of fixing gelatin confectionery having different specific gravities, it is a simple method to adhere a liquid that dissolves gelatin to the overlapping portions of each other. Specifically, for example, wipe the surfaces of the gummy and marshmallow with a wet towel and then bond them together, and leave them as they are for a while, or press them together using a jig or the like, so that the overlapping parts of each other can be covered with the liquid. It is a method of integrating by welding. Further, in the above case, it is possible to employ a means of blowing a little hot air.

The welding liquid used in the above case is one which can dissolve gelatin and can be used as a food, and examples thereof include water or an aqueous alcohol solution, and water is preferable, and further, an adhesive effect is obtained. Certain food additives may be added. An aqueous solution containing transglutaminase, dextrin, gelatin, pectin, etc., for example, in an amount of about 1 to 5% is more preferable in order to strengthen the adhesion. Furthermore,
For example, about 1 to 4% citric acid or the like can be added to this welding liquid to season the adhesive interface.

The present invention will be described in more detail by the examples shown below. In the description of the following examples,
“Parts” means parts by weight.

(Example 1) First, gummy was prepared as follows. Jelly strength 250 bloom (Japanese Industrial Standard J
5.8 parts of acid-treated gelatin of IS K 6503) was added to 8.
It was dissolved and swollen with 1 part of water and kept warm at 60 ° C. Separately, the sugar solution was mixed with 31.5 parts of sugar, 39.4 parts of starch syrup, and 12.7 parts of fructose-glucose liquid sugar, dissolved by heating, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The gelatin solution, concentrated juice 1. Two
Parts, 1.2 parts of acidulant, a small amount of fragrance and a small amount of dye, and then mixed with stirring. This was filled in a starch mold, which was die-cut into sushi shrimp and how much it was shaped, and after drying, depowdering and oiling were performed. The specific gravity of this gummy was measured by a conventional method to be 1.4, and the residual water content was measured by a reduced pressure drying method to be 18.0%.

Separately, marshmallow was prepared as follows. 3.2 parts of acid-processed gelatin having the same bloom as that of the gummy was dissolved and swollen with 4.8 parts of water, and kept warm at 60 ° C. Separately, the sugar solution is 46.0 parts of sugar, 29.8 parts of starch syrup, and 1 maltose.
6.1 parts were mixed and boiled down to Brix 82. The above gelatin solution was mixed with this sugar solution, and after adding a fragrance, it was aerated with a pressure rotor, cooled, and then extruded (nozzle diameter 10 × 10 mm).
It was set to 0 mm. After further cooling, cornstarch was removed with a rotary drum and stored overnight. When the specific gravity of this marshmallow was measured by a conventional method, it was 0.4.

75 parts of gummy and 25 parts of marshmallow prepared as described above were treated with an aqueous solution of transglutaminase (0.
12%). That is, the above-mentioned aqueous solution was poured on the surface of marshmallow, gummy was put on it, and it was pressed by a jig and left for 1 minute to bond them. In this way, by fixing gummy and marshmallows of the same gelatin raw material,
I was able to make a sushi-shaped three-dimensional gelatin confectionery. This sushi type gelatin confection is not individual because of the difference in texture and taste between gummy and marshmallow,
It became a delicious candy.

(Embodiment 4) In Embodiment 1, the gummy mold is disc-shaped (25 mmφ, thickness 5 mm), and the marshmallow is also disc-shaped (nozzle diameter 20 mmφ, thickness 1) unlike in Embodiment 1.
0 mm). A gummy confectionery in the shape of a hamburger could be made by sandwiching the gummy around both sides of the marshmallow and adhering it in the same manner as in Example 1.

(Example 5) Using the same gelatin solution as in Example 1, a gummy stamped in a disk mold (30 mmφ, thickness 7 mm) was prepared in advance. Then, a yellow colorant was added to the same solution as in Example 1 to prepare marshmallows, which were cut into small pieces and adhered to the disc-shaped gummy pieces in large numbers. that time,
The surface of the gummy was wiped with a wet towel, and a small piece of marshmallow was pressure-bonded on it and left for 1 minute to bond it.
I was able to make a fun and delicious gelatin confectionery in the shape of a pizza.

Example 6 A marshmallow having the same composition as in Example 1 was extruded from a hole having a nozzle diameter of 2 mmφ to form a thin noodle. Separately, the same gummy as in Example 1 was cut into small pieces, and many small pieces of this gummy were placed on the thin marshmallow. The adhesion at this time was the same as in Example 1. I was able to make fun and delicious gelatin confectionery in the shape of udon.

(Embodiment 7) In the same manner as in Embodiment 1, a gummy-shaped gummy with a specific gravity of 1.4 was prepared in advance.
Further, as a chocolate paste to be placed in the center of marshmallow, Ganache Baker Soft manufactured by Fuji Oil Co., Ltd. was used, and this was preheated to 30 ° C. Next, the same sugar solution for marshmallow as in Example 1 was boiled down to Brix 85, and the same gelatin solution for marshmallow as in Example 1 was mixed with this sugar solution. After adding a flavor, the mixture was aerated with a pressure rotor. While cooling it, put it in the covert wrapping machine made by Covert,
At the same time, the warmed ganache baker soft was filled in the center of the marshmallow and molded into a bale shape. The specific gravity of marshmallows at this time was 0.35 when measured by a conventional method. 75 parts of gummy prepared as described above and 25 parts of marshmallow were adhered with an aqueous solution of 4% citric acid and 8% gelatin. That is, the above-mentioned aqueous solution was poured on the surface of marshmallow, gummy was put on it, and it was pressed by a jig and left for 1 minute to bond them. By sticking the same gelatin material, gummy, and chocolate-filled marshmallow, it was possible to make a sushi-shaped three-dimensional gelatin confection with three textures. This sushi-type gelatin confection was a delicious confection that was not individual because of the difference in texture and taste between gummy, marshmallow, and chocolate.
