PRODUCTION OF SUGAR-FREE HARD SUGAR COATING BY SOAKING BODY TO BE COATED IN POLYOL SYRUP AND COATING CORE OF BODY TO BE COATED HAVING EFFECTS OF SHORTENING MANUFACTURING TIME AND AVOIDING PROBLEMS SUCH AS ADHESION BETWEEN SUGAR COATING AND COATED CORE

摘要

PURPOSE: A method of producing a sugar-free hard sugar coating by soaking a body to be coated in polyol syrup with a concentration of 80% or more and coating a core of the body to be coated is provided. It shortens the manufacturing time and avoids the problems such as adhesion between sugar coating and the coated core. CONSTITUTION: The method for producing a sugar-free hard sugar coating is characterized in that it contains one or more cycles including the steps of: sufficiently soaking a body to be coated in polyol syrup with a concentration of 80% or more; heating the polyol syrup at 100deg.C or less; and coating a core of the body to be coated. The cycle does not contain the duration between the polyol syrup coating stage and core coating stage. The polyol syrup contains 80% or more by weight of polyol, preferably 88% or more, based on the water-soluble solids of the syrup. The polyol syrup is selected from the group consisting of sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol, erythritol, lactitol, isomalt and a mixture thereof.
