Definitions
- the present invention relates to a soft candy and a method for producing a soft candy that does not cause a sour taste.
- Soft candy has a soft texture and melts in the mouth as it is chewed, but it has a unique chewing property that allows you to enjoy its texture until swallowing. Therefore, it is a candy popular with a wide range of ages.
- gelatin is blended in order to impart chewing properties, and the gelatin is generally an acid extracted from a raw material by acid treatment from the viewpoints of cost, texture, flavor and the like. Processed gelatin or alkali-treated gelatin extracted by lime treatment is used.

- Example 2 In the same manner as in Production Example 1, a soft candy mixed with citric acid (Example 5), a soft candy mixed with gluconic acid (Example 6), and a soft candy manufactured without blending the above acid (Example 7) were manufactured. The chewing properties of each 10 samples of each soft candy were measured by the following method.
- Measuring instrument Texture analyzer TA. XT plus ⁇ Measurement probe name: 10mm DIA CYLINDER EBOITE
- a soft candy was molded into a rectangular parallelepiped shape of about 5.0 g per piece, approximately 25 mm long, 14 mm wide and 11 mm high. The measurement surface was a surface of 25 mm ⁇ 14 mm.
- the soft candy was fixed on the texture analyzer sample stage. In order to keep the product temperature of the soft candy at 20 ° C, the measurement was performed in a room at 20 ° C.
- the analyzer measurement probe (cylindrical shape with a diameter of 10 mm) was lowered at a speed of 1 mm / sec to enter the surface of the soft candy, and the stress was measured within a maximum load of 25 kg.
- the measurement probe entered 5 mm from the surface of the soft candy, the measurement probe was raised at a speed of 1 mm / sec.
- the measurement probe was raised at a speed of 1 mm / sec.
- FIG. 1 is a model diagram showing the change over time of the stress of the soft candy with respect to the measurement probe generated by the above operation. From the measured graph, the area under the first stress peak curve (A1), the area under the second stress peak curve (A2), the second maximum stress (F2) (measured unit g) shown in FIG. Since values corresponding to the time from the rise of the first stress peak curve to the peak apex (L1) and the time from the rise of the second stress peak curve to the peak apex (L2) can be obtained, these values can be obtained. The value obtained by putting this value in the calculation formula of the following formula (1) was used as the index value (Ch) of the chewing property of the soft candy.
- the chewing property of soft candy can be evaluated by the degree of return that can be chewed once again after soft biting, and in other words, the degree of rebound (swelling back). It is a value that reflects it. That is, when the soft candy is pressed for the first time with the probe, the soft candy is once recessed, but the soft candy swells while the probe is pulled up. After that, the force (F2) required to hold the soft candy again with the probe for the second time and to dent the same distance as the first time is measured, and the ratio of F2 to the ratio of L1 to L2 and the ratio of A1 to A2 The index value is obtained from The index value is closely related to the chewing property of soft candy.
- Example 2 Soft candy mixed with gluconic acid (Example: Example 1), except that alkali-processed gelatin (gel strength: 250 bloom, particle size: 4 mesh pass 100%, 20 mesh on 90%) was used as gelatin. 8) Soft candy manufactured without blending the above acid (Example 9) and soft candy blended with citric acid (Example 10).
- soft candy blended with citric acid has a sour taste
- soft candy blended with gluconic acid has no sour taste
- soft candy without the addition of acid loses the chewing properties peculiar to soft candy.
- soft candy containing gluconic acid was found to have good chewing properties.

(1)で得たソフトキャンディ原液を、スーパーフィルムクッカー(佐久間製作所(株)製)を用い、真空度600mmHg、温度118℃で、水分含量が約5重量%となるまで煮詰めた後、70℃に冷却してソフトキャンディベースを得た。
砂糖70重量部、水飴30重量部及び水20重量部を溶解タンクに混合し、121℃で、水分含量が10重量%となるまで煮詰めた。次いでこれを70℃に冷却して粒径30μm以下のフォンダントを得た。
砂糖75重量部、水飴75重量部、水25重量部を混合し、118℃で糖度がBx90°になるまで煮詰めた後70℃まで冷却した。別に、酸処理ゼラチン(ゲル強度:200ブルーム、粒度:4メッシュパス100%、20メッシュオン90%)10重量部をその2重量倍の水に80℃で溶解し脱泡した後70℃に冷却した(ゼラチン溶液)。次いで両者を8:1(重量比)で混合し、フラッペを得た。該フラッペの糖度は、Bx80°であった。
ソフトキャンディベース80重量部、フォンダント20重量部及び(4)で調製したゼラチン溶液1重量部を混合し、30秒以上混練した。混練後の温度は70℃であった。次いで、これに上記表2に示したいずれかの酸と、果汁、香料、着色料とを添加し、さらにフラッペを添加して30秒以上撹拌した。撹拌後の温度は、65℃であった。次いでこれを45℃に冷却し、ソフトキャンディ組成物を得た。
上記で得られたソフトキャンディ組成物を成形し、これを動転してひずみを低減して、ソフトキャンディを得た。
専門パネル11名に製造例1で製造した例1~例4の各ソフトキャンディを食べてもらい官能評価を行なった。すなわち、一番酸っぱくないものを「1」と評価し、2番目に酸っぱくないものを「2」と評価するという順位法で、酸っぱくないものの順番をつけてもらった。なお、同率2位のものが2つある場合は「2.5」と評価し、同率3位のものが2つある場合は「3.5」と評価した。また、各ソフトキャンディのなかでチューイング性のないもの(満足しないもの)はあるかどうかを答えてもらった。結果を下記表3に示す。
製造例1と同様にして、クエン酸を配合したソフトキャンディ(例5)、グルコン酸を配合したソフトキャンディ(例6)、及び上記酸を配合しないで製造したソフトキャンディ(例7)を製造し、各ソフトキャンディのそれぞれ10サンプルについて、以下の方法でそのチューイング性を測定した。
・測定機器:英弘精機株式会社製テクスチャーアナライザーTA.XT plus
・測定プローブ名:10mm DIA CYLINDER EBONITE
(1) 一個当たり約5.0gであり、およそ縦25mm、横14mm、高さ11mmの直方体状にソフトキャンディを成形した。測定面は25mm×14mmの面とした。
(2) 上記ソフトキャンディをテクスチャーアナライザーの試料台に固定した。ソフトキャンディの品温を20℃に保つため、測定は20℃の部屋で行なった。
(3) アナライザーの測定プローブ(直径10mmの円柱状)を1mm/secのスピードで降下させソフトキャンディの表面に進入させ、最大荷重25kgの範囲内で応力(Force)を測定した。
(4) 測定プローブがソフトキャンディの表面から5mm進入したところで、測定プローブを1mm/secのスピードで上昇させた。
(5) 測定プローブがソフトキャンディから離れた後に、再度(2回目)、測定プローブを1mm/secのスピードで降下させソフトキャンディの表面に進入させ、表面から5mm進入したところで、測定プローブを1mm/secのスピードで再度上昇させた。
ゼラチンとして、アルカリ処理ゼラチン(ゲル強度:250ブルーム、粒度:4メッシュパス100%、20メッシュオン90%)を用いた以外は、製造例1と同様にして、グルコン酸を配合したソフトキャンディ(例8)、上記酸を配合しないで製造したソフトキャンディ(例9)、及びクエン酸を配合したソフトキャンディ(例10)を製造した。
専門パネル11名に製造例2で製造した例8~例10の各ソフトキャンディを食べてもらい、酸っぱさとチューイング性についての官能評価を行なった。結果を下記表5、6に示す。
