In candy production, for high-density chewies cooking and cooling are the most important steps for stability, while low-density chewies rely on aeration and warmer processing, creating a lighter texture. Tanis equipment is designed to meet the specific demands of each method, ensuring consistent quality and performance for both types of chewy candy.
Essential to chewy candy production is machinery that provides precise control over temperature, texture and density. Careful crystallization management is crucial for achieving the ideal chew, preventing hardness or graininess. This control keeps the candy smooth, stable, and high-quality through storage and consumption.
For chewy candy production, you can choose between batch or continuous cooking, based on your recipe. Batch cooking uses the Tanis Thermosyphon Cooker and Batch Aerator, while continuous cooking uses a Coil or Film Cooker with a Continuous Aerator. Both methods incorporate a dynamic mixer for adding the post cook ingredients, cooling drum, and cooling table, to make the candymass the right firmness for the forming line.
The chew candy-making process begins with premixing ingredients like sugar and glucose syrup, followed by cooking at high temperatures to achieve the right consistency. There are several options to add the gelling agents and fat phase in the process. After cooking, the mixture is aerated, either continuously or in batches, to create the desired chewy texture. The candy is then cooled to stabilize its structure and prevent premature crystallization. Finally, it is shaped into its final form.
