US Classification:

426115, 53576, 533292

Abstract:

A squeezable, flexible tubular package for an edible product is compartmented to simultaneously hold a first edible product in one compartment separate from a second edible product in another juxtaposed compartment. The package includes an elongated enclosure defined by a pair of transparent, flexible film strips bonded to one another around the periphery thereof by a liquid tight seal; and a membrane situated between the film strips, bonded to the periphery of the film strips by a liquid tight seal, partitioning the enclosure into a pair of juxtaposed, liquid tight compartments. An extrudable, edible product is separately contained in each of the compartments. Apparatus for continuously and successively forming, filling and sealing articulated arrays of such packaged products is also disclosed.

Filed:

Appl. No.:

8/131810

Inventors:

Yen C. Hsieh - Cincinnati OH
Anthony P. Richards - Gary IN
Jose Alvarado - Chicago IL
Benito Romanach - West Chester OH

Assignee:

The Procter & Gamble Company - Cincinnati OH

International Classification:

A23G 300
A23L 136
A23L 1052

US Classification:

426 93

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method for producing individual, crunch-confectionery-coated edible nuts. The raw, unblanched nuts are first coated with a film-forming polysaccharide to maintain the skins adhered to the nuts in a durable polysaccharide coating. The coated nuts are then subjected to shear mixing, e. g. , in a pan coater, during which sucrose syrup is applied to the polysaccharide-coated nuts. Heat is applied to the nuts during shear mixing to remove moisture and to thereby form a crystalline coating, which is then partially melted to form a crystalline-amorphous coating on top of the polysaccharide coating on the individual nuts.

Abstract:

Individual coated nuts or seeds are produced by mixing nuts or seeds at 180. degree. F. to 270. degree. F. with coating syrup (including sugar and sweetener syrup) at 270. degree. F. to 330. degree. F. , in a rotating pan coater or other shear mixing coater until the coating syrup is distributed over the nuts or seeds, then cooling until the coating syrup begins to set, then adding separating composition, and when individual coated nuts are produced, optionally coating with particulate ingredients and/or a protective alpha-tending emulsifier coating, then transferring from the coater and cooling, then optionally coating with chocolate.
