Soft candy, with its soft texture and various fruit flavors, is a popular snack. The production process of soft candy involves multiple materials and techniques, and below we will introduce the general production process of soft candy.
Step One – Prepare Raw Materials:
To produce soft candy, a variety of materials are required, including fruit juice, syrup, gelatin, acidifiers, coloring, and soy protein. These materials are mixed in specific amounts and heated until they reach a boiling point. Then, the mixture is filtered to remove impurities such as seeds and sediment, creating a clear syrup. Additionally, sugar powder is prepared as decoration for the soft candy.
Step Two – Mix Materials:
The mixture is then heated under high temperatures and pressure until it becomes a molten liquid. The temperature and pressure must be carefully controlled to ensure the mixture does not burn, and all components are evenly distributed. This process is known as cooking.
Step Three – Injection Molding:
The cooked mixture is ready for molding in the silicone molds, which come in various sizes and shapes. To fill the molds, the mixture is delivered through a precision flow-control system to create a specific shape and size. The filled molds are then moved onto a cooling conveyor.
Step Four – Cooling Process:
The candy must be cooled slowly until it is firm to the touch to ensure that the candy maintains its shape while being removed from the mold. This process can take several hours, depending on the size and thickness of the candy. After cooling, the candy is ready to be demolded.
Step Five – Demolding:
The candy is removed from the silicone molds by opening the molds and inverting them. Then, the candy is pushed out of the molds by pneumatic or mechanical devices.
Step Six – Packaging:
Finally, the soft candy is packaged in airtight bags, foil pouches, or vacuum-sealed jars. The packaging material used must be sturdy enough to protect the product, and it must be labeled with relevant information such as the product name, weight, ingredients, and expiration date.
In conclusion, the production of soft candy is an intricate process that requires careful planning and execution. Each step must be precisely controlled following established standards to ensure the highest quality product is produced.
