Enrobed and filled confectionery and bakery products, such as praline-style chocolates, confectionery bars and chocolate-coated biscuits and ice-creams, are popular with consumers. The coating and filling can negatively affect product quality and shelf-life, but with the correct product design and manufacturing technology, the characteristics of the end-product can be much improved. This book provides a comprehensive overview of quality issues affecting enrobed and filled products and strategies to enhance product quality.Part one reviews the formulation of coatings and fillings, with chapters on key topics such as chocolate manufacture, confectionery fats, compound coatings and fat and sugar-based fillings. Product design issues, such as oil, moisture and ethanol migration and chocolate and filling rheology are the focus of Part two. Shelf-life prediction and testing are also discussed. Part three then covers the latest ingredient preparation and manufacturing technology for optimum product quality. Chapters examine tempering, enrobing, chocolate panning, production of chocolate shells and deposition technology.With its experienced team of authors, Science and technology of enrobed and filled chocolate, confectionery and bakery products is an essential purchase for professionals in the chocolate, confectionery and bakery industries. - Provides a comprehensive review of quality issues affecting enrobed and filled products - Reviews the formulation of coatings and fillings, addressing confectionery fats, compound coatings and sugar based fillings - Focuses on product design issues such as oil, moisture and chocolate filling rheology

This book examines both the primary ingredients and the processing technology for making candies. In the first section, the chemistry, structure, and physical properties of the primary ingredients are described, as are the characteristics of commercial ingredients. The second section explores the processing steps for each of the major sugar confectionery groups, while the third section covers chocolate and coatings. The manner in which ingredients function together to provide the desired texture and sensory properties of the product is analyzed, and chemical reactions and physical changes that occur during processing are examined. Trouble shooting and common problems are also discussed in each section. Designed as a complete reference and guide, Confectionery Science and Technology provides personnel in industry with solutions to the problems concerning the manufacture of high-quality confectionery products.

The Technology of Wafers and Waffles: Operational Aspects is the definitive reference book on wafer and waffle technology and manufacture. It covers specific ingredient technology (including water quality, wheat flour, starches, dextrins, oils and fats) and delves extensively into the manufacturing elements and technological themes in wafer manufacturing, including no/low sugar wafers, hygroscopic wafers, fillings and enrobing. The book explains, in detail, operating procedures such as mixing, baking, filling, cooling, cutting and packaging for every type of wafer: flat and shaped wafers for making biscuits, ice cream cones, cups, wafer reels, wafer sticks (flute wafers) and biscuit wafers. It also explores the various types of European (Belgian) waffles and North American frozen waffles. - Serves as a complete reference book on wafer and waffle technology and manufacturing, the first of its kind - Covers specific ingredient technology such as water quality, wheat flour, starches, dextrins, oils and fats for wafer and waffles - Explores wafer and waffle product types, development, ingredients, manufacturing and quality assurance - Explains the scientific background of wafer and waffle baking - Informs both artisan and industrial bakers about many related areas of bakery product manufacturing

Fats are present in some form in the vast majority of processed foods we consume, as well as in many ‘natural’ products. Changes in consumer behaviour, centered around an increased emphasis on healthy food consumption, mean that it is more important than ever for food scientists to understand the properties, roles and behaviours that fats play in food and in diets. Fats in Food Technology, Second Edition is an in-depth examination of the roles and behaviours of fats in food technology and the benefits that they impart to consumers. It considers both fats that are naturally present in foods (such as milk fat in cheese) and fats that have been added to improve physical, chemical and organoleptic properties (like cocoa butter in chocolate). Newly revised and updated, the book contains useful information on the market issues that have driven change and the disciplines that have helped to regulate the trade and use of fats and oils in food technology. Drawing on the recent literature as well as the personal R&D experiences of the authors, the book highlights those areas where potential efficiencies in processing and economy in the cost of raw materials can be made. Issues concerning health, diet and lifestyle are covered in dedicated chapters. This book will be useful to anyone in industry and research establishments who has an interest in the technology of fat-containing food products, including scientists in the dairy, spreads, bakery, confectionery and wider food industries, as well those involved in the production of edible oils.

Manley's Technology of Biscuits, Crackers and Cookies is widely regarded as the standard work in its field. Part one covers management issues such as HACCP, quality control, process control and product development. Part two deals with the selection of raw materials and ingredients. The range and types of biscuits is covered in part three, while part four covers the main production processes and equipment, from bulk handling and metering of ingredients to packaging, storage and waste management. Eight expert authors have joined Duncan Manley in extensively updating and expanding the book, which is now some 25% longer than the previous edition. Part one now includes a new chapter on sustainability in the biscuit industry and the discussion of process and efficiency control is more detailed. In part two the information on wheat flour has been extensively revised to reflect recent developments and there are entirely new chapters on fats and oils and packaging materials. Photographs of the major types of biscuits now illustrate chapters in part three, which also includes a newly-composed chapter on the position of biscuits in nutrition. Finally, part four has been comprehensively reviewed and revised with the assistance of an author from a major machinery manufacturer. With its distinguished editor and team of expert contributors this new edition consolidates the position of Manley's Technology of Biscuits, Crackers and Cookies as the standard reference work in the industry. - Widely regarded as the standard work in its field - Covers management issues such as HACCP, quality control, process control and product development - Deals with the selection of raw materials and ingredients

Confectionery in a broader sense implies the preservation of sweet meat preparation in the form of candies, caramels, chocolate, processed cocoa products and traditional Indian confections. India is a country with a collection of wide range of different cultures and many festivals and occasions are being celebrated in different parts of the nation and confectioneries play a major role in those special occasions. Therefore, the confectionery industry in this country has got a huge potential and this sector has grown recently in the India with the entry of many foreign companies. Special emphasis has been made on describing the various process parameters and equipments used with the help of process diagrams wherever necessary. This major content of this book are confectionery ingredients, flavour, gelatinizing agents, gums, glazes, waxes, traditional Indian confections, manufacturing processes and formulations of confections, nutritive value of confectionery products. This book also describes about the science and technology of chocolate and confectionery, packaging of confectionery products, quality control, future confectionery industry etc. Apart from these it also contains details of cooking techniques, formulae, processes. The incorporation of flavours and essences, permitted colours used quality control aspects along with sources of plant, machinery and raw material. This book is an invaluable resource for research centers, professionals, entrepreneurs and end users in academic and industry working on the subject.
