Hard panned candy
Protecting the candy
Confection, such as chewing gum, is often coated with a har
d shell of sugar or polyol (sugar free). This hard coating protects the chewing gum and provides a pleasant, often colourful, appearance and a nice crunch. This type of candy is named 'hard panned candy'.
Multiple layers make the coating
The coating is created by spraying layers of a concentrated solution and drying it (150-300 sec.). This process is very time consuming as multiple layers (40-150) are needed to make a strong shell.
Sisterna® sucrose esters
Addition of sucrose esters to the spraying solution can reduce the drying time with 9-19% with at the same time a very smooth surface of the hard panned candy. Additionally, the hard panned candy will have a whiter appearance and a more stable shell.
