AND
CONFECTIONARY
Confectionary
• Confections can be divided into two broad
categories
• those in which sugar is the principal ingredient
• Those which are based on chocolate.
• Examples of sugar-type confections include
nougats, fondants, caramels, toffees, and jellies.
• Examples of chocolate-based confections include
chocolate-covered confections, chocolate-panned
confections, chocolate bars, and chocolate-
covered fruits, nuts, and creames.
• Many ingredients, including milk products, egg
white, food acids, gums, starches, fats,
emulsifiers, flavors, nuts, fruits, and others are
used in candy-making.
Sugar based Confections
Invert Sugar
• hydrolyzed mixture of dextrose and levulose is called invert
sugar. Invert sugar can prevent or help control the degree
of sucrose crystallization
• may be obtained commercially and substituted for part of
the sucrose in the candy formula
• Encourages the formation of small crystals essential to
smoothness
• helps prevent more chewy candies from drying out and
Corn syrup and other sweeteners
• Corn syrups are viscous liquids containing dextrose, maltose,
higher sugars, and dextrins. They are produced by the
hydrolysis of corn starch using acid or acid-enzyme
treatments.
• add viscosity to confections, reduce friability of the sugar
structures from temperature or mechanical shock, slow the
dissolving rate of candies in the mouth, and contribute
chewiness to confections.
Sugar Substitutes
• bulk sweeteners and high-intensity sweeteners (calorific and
non calorific)
• bulk sweeteners are alcohol derivatives of sugars made by
chemically reducing the sugar to the alcohol
• High-intensity sweeteners are used in confections to reduce
the caloric content, reduce the caloric content of the
confection.
• saccharin, sucralose, thaumatin, aspartame, glycyrrhizin, and
Acesulfam K
Additional Ingredients
• Some softer candies (e.g., marshmallows, gumdrops,
and jellies) owe their chewiness in part to pectins,
gums, and gelatin.
• humectants are used to hold moisture within such
confections. - include glycerin (glycerol) and sorbitol.
• Colloidal materials such as pectins and gums, which
are hydrophilic, also have humectant properties in
confections.
Products
• Bread
• Biscuits
• Cakes
• pastries
• pies
• CHOCOLATES
PRODUCTION OF CHOCOLATE
• Chocolate is a key ingredient in many foods such as milk
shakes, candy bars, cookies and cereals
• product that requires complex procedures to produce.
• process involves harvesting coca, refining coca to cocoa
beans, and shipping the cocoa beans to the manufacturing
factory for cleaning, coaching and grinding.
HARVESTING COCOA AND COCOA
PROCESSING
• Chocolate production starts with harvesting coca in a forest
• Cocoa comes from tropical evergreen Cocoa trees -
Theobroma Cocoa -grow in the wet lowland tropics of Central
and South America, West Africa and Southeast Asia (within 20
C of the equator) .
• Cocoa harvested manually in the forest.
• The seed pods of coca will first be collected
• the beans will be selected and placed in piles
• cocoa beans shipped to the manufacturer
for mass production.
Step 1: Plucking and opening the
Pods
• Cocoa beans grow in pods - sprout off of the trunk and
branches of cocoa trees.
• The pods start out green and turn orange when they're ripe.
• When the pods are ripe, harvesters travel through the cocoa
orchards and hack the pods gently off of the trees.
• Machines could damage the tree or the clusters of flowers and
pods that grow from the trunk.
• After the cocoa pods are collected into baskets ,the pods are
taken to a processing house.
• Here they are split open and the cocoa beans are removed.
• Pods can contain upwards of 50 cocoa beans each.
• Fresh cocoa beans are not brown at all, they do not taste at all
like the sweet chocolate they will eventually produce.
STEP 2: FERMENTING THE COCOA SEEDS
manufacturers blend chocolate liquor with sugar and milk to add flavor.
stored or delivered to the molding factory in tanks poured into moulds for
sale.
ready to transport
Step 1: Roasting and Winnowing the Cocoa
• Grinding is the process by which cocoa nibs are ground into "
cocoa liquor“ - unsweetened chocolate or cocoa mass.
• The grinding process generates heat and the dry granular
consistency of the cocoa nib is then turned into a liquid as the
high amount of fat contained in the nib melts.
• The cocoa liquor is mixed with cocoa butter and sugar.
• In the case of milk chocolate, fresh, sweetened condensed or
roller-dry low-heat powdered whole milk is added, depending
on the individual manufacturer's formula and manufacturing
methods.
Step 3: Blending Cocoa liquor and molding Chocolate
