Description
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MAKING GUMMY CONSUMABLES
CONTAINING FUNCTIONAL INGREDIENTS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for producing a gummy consumable with functional ingredients.
BACKGROUND
Nutritional and dietary supplements such as multi-vitamins and minerals, botanicals and herbal extracts have grown in popularity, as evidenced by the tremendous growth in the industry involved in their manufacture, production and distribution. Such supplements can be consumed in a variety of ways, the most common being in powder or capsule form and more recently in a gummy consumable form, more commonly referred as such as gummy candies or gummies.
Gummy candy is a confectionery with a soft texture mainly made from gelatins and/or pectins to which food sweeteners, flavorings and colorants are added. In recent years gummy candy containing functional ingredients is popular because of its simplicity and taste.
Most functional ingredients are easily affected by light, heat and pH and it is often difficult to ensure the durability of the product. Depending upon the method of manufacturing the confectionery matrix, the active ingredient may suffer from deterioration or damage due to heat and/or mechanical stresses in the manufacturing process.
Producing gummies includes mixing the gummi confection ingredients such as sugar, glucose syrup, gelatin, and water, cooking the mixture to obtain a molten gelatin mixture which is then quickly poured into the molds -when still hot -and allowed to cool and set in the mold, prior to packaging or consumption. The cooking step of the gummy mixture in high temperatures is not compatible with the stability of the functional ingredients as they tend to degrade in high temperatures. Hence, the described methods for making gummies with fuctional ingredients usually chose the addition and mixing of said ingredients after the cooking step. Even in this approach, the molten gelatin mixture needs to be kept at a certain temperature around 90C and above to prevent an early setting/jellying of the mixture before it is deposited into the molds.
Inclusion of the functional ingredients further entails a modification of the solubility of the gummy ingredients and of the pH which entails a further hindrance to the final jellification of the mixture.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention and embodiments thereof serve to provide a solution to one or more of above-mentioned disadvantages. To this end, the present invention relates to a method for producing a gummy consumables with functional ingredients by injecting functional ingredients into the gummy base. According to claim 1, the method comprises injecting an amount of a solution of one or more functional ingredients where the solution has a temperature of less than 50 ° C into a gelling gummy base solution which is comprising one or more gelling agents immediately after depositing the gummy base solution in a mold. The solution is injected before the finalization of the gelling process.
Injecting the functional ingredient solution into the gummy base after the deposition of the gummy base into the mold assists in a smooth deposition of the gummy base when it is still hot and in liquid form and minimizes the degradation of the functional ingredients by allowing the coiling of the base in the mold before the injection of the functional ingredients.
Preferred embodiments of the method are shown in any of the claims 2 to 12.
In a second aspect, the present invention relates to a system for producing gummies with functional ingredients according to claim 13. The system is comprising at least one liquid container suited for containing a solution of said functional ingredients, a pump, preferably a vacuum pump, for pumping at least an amount of a solution of functional ingredients from said liquid container to a dispenser, wherein said dispenser comprises an array of multiple injectors, each injector comprising an injection needle, for dispensing a measured dose of said solution of functional ingredients into one or more jellifying gummies positioned into a mold.
Preferred embodiments of the system are shown in any of the claims 14 to 17.
DESCRIPTION OF FIGURES
The following description of the figures of specific embodiments of the invention is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the present teachings, their application or uses. Throughout the drawings, corresponding reference numerals indicate like or corresponding parts and features.
Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a system for production of gummies with functional ingredients.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention discloses a method for manufacturing aiming to resolve at least some of the problems and disadvantages discussed below by injecting the functional ingredients into the blend after the blend is deposited into the mold forms. Gummies have been becoming a preferred delivery system for the functional ingredients by the producers as they offer a longer shelf life to the functional ingredients compared to capsules or tablets and by the consumers due to their easy consumption and preferred taste.
Production of gummies requires heating of gummy blend to high temperatures to liquefy and deposition of the gummy blend into the mold forms while it is still in the liquid state and allow cooling for the final shape of the gummies.
Homogenous introduction of functional ingredients into gummies requires the addition of the ingredients while the gummy bled is still in the liquid state, hence hot, which leads to the degradation of the functional ingredients. One approach to solve the problem might be adding the functional ingredients after the blend is cooled down to a certain temperature. But this approach conflicts with the deposition of the gummy bled into the mold forms and molding procedure.

Description
In a first aspect, a method for producing gummies with one or more functional ingredients is disclosed. The method comprises injecting an amount of a solution of one or more functional ingredients, said solution has a temperature of less than 500 C into a gelling gummy base solution comprising one or more gelling agents after depositing said gummy base solution in a mold, wherein said the gelling process is not yet finalized when injecting.
The inventors have unexpectedly observed that the injection of the functional ingredients into the gummy base after the gummy base is deposited into the molding cavities allowed the unified distribution of the functional ingredients through the gummy base and minimized the degradation of the functional ingredients, keeping them at or close to the initial concentration that they have added to the gummy. Collectively the simple yet innovative production method as disclosed here allows the production of gummies comprising almost homogenously distributed functional ingredients with minimal to no degradation hence increased shelf life.
In embodiments, gummies produced with disclosed method comprise one or more functional ingredients that are homogenously or substantially homogenously dispersed within the gummy base. Due to the substantially uniform and complete dispersion of the functional ingredients within the gummy, the gummies are suitable for division into sub-units.
In embodiments the gummies of a batch produced with disclosed method comprise equal or substantially equal amount of one or more functional ingredients.
It is crucial for each gummy produced to have predetermined amount of said functional ingredients. In classical methods, this becomes difficult as functional ingredients are added to the gummy base before the gummy base is deposited into molds. The problem is mostly due to requirement of low temperatures for functional ingredients as they are easily degraded in high temperatures and due to the fast setting of the gummy base in low temperatures which together lead to patchy distribution of functional ingredients in the gummy base thus, gummies with uneven amount of functional ingredients when the gummy base with functional ingredients is deposited into molds or cut into smaller pieces.
According to a preferred embodiment, the method comprising the following steps: a. mixing of a gummy base solution comprising one or more gelling agents; b. heating said gummy base solution to a temperature between 100°C and 135°C; c. depositing an amount of the gummy base solution into one or more mold cavities for molding; and allowing said deposited amount to start jellifying; d. once the temperature of the gelling gummy base solution is below 95°C, injecting an amount of a solution of one or more functional ingredients into the gelling gummy base solution; and e. Demolding the gummy In embodiments, the gummy base mainly needs to contain at least one gelling agent and water or one or more sources of water.
In embodiments, one or more gelling agents are used to create texture in water-based products that would otherwise be runny. A wide variety of hydrocolloids, for example, pectin, starches or gelatin, are available as gelling agents for confectionery production. The examples of gelling agents used in some embodiments include but are not limited to gelatin, gellan, pectin, agar, cellulose, guar gum, locust bean gum, carrageenan, modified starch, xanthan gum, tragacanth, acacia gum, karaya gum, locust bean The use of gelling agents is well-known in the art and many gelling agents for use in products for human or animal consumption are available commercially, for example, Type B gelatine from Leiner Davis, Kelcogel0 Gellan Gum manufactured by CP Kelco and a range of Ticagel® hydrocoUoids from TIC Gums.
In some embodiments plant-based gelling agents are used for the production of vegetarian and/or vegan alternatives of said gummies with functional ingredients. Non-limiting examples of said plant-based gelling agents used in the embodiments include pectin, agar, starch or modified starch.
In embodiments, choice of gelling agent used may vary depending on the other ingredients of the gummy. The addition of certain ingredients can indirectly impact the pH and other characteristics of the gummy product, which in turn can have a major influence on the gelling mechanism of gelling agents. Careful selection of the right gelling agent is paramount to achieving the desired texture.
One skilled in the art will appreciate that the selection of the gelling agent to be used in the gummy base will depend on the pH of the gummy base, the interaction of the gelling agent with the carbohydrate component of the gummy base and/or the functional ingredients, and the particular texture and consistency required for the final product. The type of gelling agent used will also affect the set temperature of the matrix which may become important for the properties of the functional ingredient(s) to be incorporated into the gummy, for example functional ingredients with low stability in high temperatures are more suitable to use with the gelling agents that have a low set temperature.
In embodiments, the selection of an appropriate gelling agent is considered to be within the ordinary skills of a worker in the art.
In embodiments, the amount of the gelling agent added to the gummy base is non-limiting and varies depending on the final texture and palatability of the gummies.
In a preferred embodiment, the gummy base solution comprises a gelling agent at a level from 2 to 25% by weight of the gelling agent, more preferably from 3 to 20%, from 5 to 15%, even more specifically from 7 to 12% and all the ranges and subranges therein between.
In embodiments, the gummy compositions further comprise a variety of ingredients known to those skilled in the art.
In some embodiments, the gummy base solution further comprises other ingredients such as one or more other carbohydrates, one or more hydrocolloids, one or more pH correctors, one or more sugars, one or more substitutes of sugar, one or more sugar alcohols, one or more sugar syrups, one or more sweeteners, one or more aromas, one or more natural or artificial flavorings, one or more coloring agents or other excipients or a combination thereof.
In other embodiments, the gummy base may further comprise minerals, fruit juice and/or dairy products.
In embodiments, in the case of producing sugar-free gummies with functional ingredient substitutes of sugar is used in the gummy base.
In embodiments, any of these various optional ingredients and any other ingredients known in the art to produce gummy candies may be used to prepare the gummy base solution, and the content thereof is not particularly limited.
In embodiments any conventional method as a method for preparing the gummy base can be used. For example, a gummy base can be prepared by dissolving at least one gelling agent, and if necessary, any combination of above optional ingredients, in a liquid, e.g., water, fruit juice or milk by heating. In embodiments, gummy base may be prepared by first dissolving the gelling agent in liquid by heating to obtain an aqueous solution of gelling agent and then adding/mixing any other optional ingredients into said aqueous gelling agent solution.
Optionally, the combination is heated (heat-processed) using applied heat, a flame, or a microwave. The gummy base solution and/or aqueous gelling agent solution is boiled in hot water, e.g., stovetop boiling, the addition of boiling water to a container, or microwaving the gummy base solution along with water. In one aspect, boiling water (about 100° C.) is added to a combination of gummy base ingredients.
There is no particular limitation on the order of addition of the ingredients and the aqueous gelling solution.
In particular embodiments, for the preparation of the gummy base solution, said solution is heated to or above 90 °C, for example, said base solution is heated to 90°C, 95°C, 100°C, 110 °C, 120 °C, 130 °C, 140 °C.
In preferred embodiments, the gummy base solution is heated to a temperature between 100°C and 135°C, for example, between 105°C and 135°C, between 110°C and 135°C, between 115°C and 135°C, between 120°C and 135°C and all the ranges and subranges therein between.
In embodiments, the gummy base solution is kept at a temperature of at least 70°C and above after preparation. In embodiments a means of heating applied to the gummy base solution after its preparation to keep said solution at desired temperature.
In embodiments, the gummy base solution is at a temperature of at least 70°C when being deposited into the molds, for example, the gummy base solution is at a temperature of at least 70°C, at least 75°C, at least 80°C, at least 85°C, at least 90°C, at least 95°C, at least 100°C, at least 110°C, at least 115°C, at least 120°C, at least 125°C at least 130°C and any temperature therein between during its deposition into the molds. In preferred embodiments, the gummy base solution is at a temperature between 95°C and 110°C when being deposited into the molds.
In embodiments, the gummy base can be deposited into molds by means of pouring or injecting into molds.
Maintaining the high temperature of the gummy base during its deposition into the molds is important as the gummy base starts to set as it starts too cool down. The traditional methods for producing gummies with functional ingredients requires mixing of functional ingredients into the gummy base before the deposition of gummy base into molds. These methods, have to compromise between the most suitable gummy base temperature during the deposition and keeping the functional ingredients stable, and undegraded. Gelling agents with low setting temperature may offer an alternative but it is limiting in terms of texture and taste as not all gelling agents are compatible for any additional ingredients in the gummy base. In embodiments, the technical difference of the method allows for deposition of the gummy base into the molds at any desired temperature, including the high temperatures.
In embodiments, the gummy base solution is poured or deposited into the molds and is allowed to cool to a desired temperature prior to injection of the functional ingredients. In specific embodiments, gummy base solution is cooled down to a temperature lower than 100°C prior to injection of the functional ingredients, preferably to 95°C, 90°C, 85°C, 80°C, 75°C, 70, 65°C, 60°C, 55°C, 50°C and all the temperatures therein between.
In embodiments, the gummy base is actively cooled down to a temperature after its deposition into the molds by means of a cooling element. In embodiments said cooling element comprises a fan blowing air to the gummy base and/ or to the molds comprising the gummy base. In other embodiments, the cooling element comprises a cold block placed on and/or under the molds.
In embodiments, solution of one or more functional ingredients injected into a gelling gummy base solution comprising one or more gelling agents immediately after depositing said gummy base solution in a mold.
The addition of functional ingredients into the base solution at moderate temperatures ensures that the functional ingredients are not degraded by excessive heat.
In embodiments, the gummy base solution has a temperature between 50°C and 100°C at the time of injection of said one or more functional ingredient solutions, for example said solution has a temperature between 100°C and 95°C, 95°C and 90°C, 90°C and 85°C, 85°C and 80°C, 80°C and 75°C, 75°C and 70°C, 70°C and 65°C, 65°C and 60°C, 60°C and 55°C, 55°C and 50°C. In more preferred embodiments the gummy base solution has a temperature between 95°C and 60°C, more preferably between 90°C and 65°C,even more preferably between 90°C and 70°C, and all the ranges and subranges therein between.
One skilled in the art will appreciate that the selection of the temperature of the gummy base before and/or during the injection of the functional ingredients will depend on the nature of the functional ingredient to be used, such as a temperature below the temperature causes the degradation and/or inactivation of chosen functional ingredient as well as, the setting temperature of the gummy base.
In embodiment, the temperature of the gummy base solution at the time of the injection can be between 60 and 90°C, depending on active ingredients to be injected.
In embodiments, the functional ingredient solution is kept at a temperature between 0°C and 30°C before and/or during the injection into said gummy base solution. In a preferred embodiment, the functional ingredient solution is kept at a temperature between 4°C and 30°C, between 4°C and 25°C, between 4°C and 22°C, between 10°C and 30°C, between 15°C and 30°C, between 16°C and 28°C, between 18°C and 26°C, between 19°C and 24°C, between 19°C and 23°C, more preferably between 20°C and 22°C and all the ranges and subranges therein between.
One skilled in the art will appreciate that the nature of the functional ingredient chosen will determine the temperature that said functional ingredient is kept before the injection. In embodiments, the functional ingredient is kept at a temperature before the injection wherein said temperature is suitable for preventing the ingredient from degrading or becoming dysfunctional. For example, in specific embodiments, said functional ingredient is kept between -20°C and 0°C, in other embodiments between 0°C and 4°C and/or between 4°C and 8°C.
In embodiments, the gummies produced according to the present method comprise one or more functional ingredients. The one or more functional ingredients are selected from the group of botanicals, nutritional supplements, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, hormones, proteins, probiotics, prebiotics, drugs, polypeptides, and antigens.
In embodiments, the functional ingredients to be incorporated into the gummies can be, nutritional supplements that fulfill a specific physiologic function or promote the health and/or well-being of the consumer, botanicals or herbal extracts, and the like. 10 In some embodiments, one or more of the functional ingredients injected into gummies produced by disclosed method can be a nutritional supplement. Illustrative, but non-limiting, examples of nutritional supplements suitable for use with the delivery system according to the present invention include, probiotic bacteria, prebiotics, vitamins, enzymes, co-enzymes, cofactors, antioxidants, minerals and mineral salts, amino-acids and amino acid derivatives (for example, dimethylglycine), peptides, proteins, gums, carbohydrates, phytochemicals, dextroses, phospholipids, other trace nutrients, oxygenators, brain-stimulating substances, energy providers, metabolic intennediates, hormones, botanical extracts, fatty acids (for example, linoleic acid or conjugated linoleic acid), oat beta-glucan or other functional fibres, carnitine, bicarbonate, citrate, or combinations thereof.
In embodiments, probiotic microorganisms in the form of live microbial nutritional supplements and which are recognized as conferring a beneficial effect on an animal can be incorporated in the gummies produced by disclosed method. Probiotic microorganisms are microorganisms which beneficially affect a host by improving its intestinal microbial balance. Beneficial effects of probiotic microorganisms include activation of the immune system, prevention of the bacterial overgrowth by pathogens, prevention of diarrhoea and/or restoration of intestinal flora. Examples of probiotic microorganisms include, but are not limited to, Bifidobacterium (such as Bifidobacterium longum B129, Bifidobacterium longum B128, Bifidobacterium adolescentis Bad4, and Bifidobacterium lactis Bb12), Lactobacillus (such as, Lactobacillus johnsonii and Lactobacillus paracasei), Streptococcus and Saccharomyces.
In embodiments, the amount of probiotic incorporated into the gummy will vary according to the specific needs. In preferred embodiments, the amount of lactic acid bacteria in one gummy can be between 108 and 1012 count/gram, for example, between 107 and 1011 count/gram, or between 108 and 1010 count/gram.
In embodiments prebiotics can be incorporated into the gummy base alone or in combination with probiotic bacteria. Prebiotics comprise carbohydrates, generally oligosaccharides, and have the ability to resist hydrolysis by enzymes in the animal digestive tract and thus can reach the colon undegraded to provide a carbohydrate substance particularly suited to growth of probiotic bacteria. Oligosaccharides may be produced from glucose, galactose, xylose, maltose, sucrose, lactose, starch, xylan, hemicellulose, inulin, or a mixture thereof. Purified commercially available products such as fructooligosaccharide contain greater than about 95% solids in the form of oligosaccharides. Prebiotics often comprise a mixture of fructooligosaccharide and inulin, for example, PREBI01"7) or a mixture of commercially available RAFTILOSEE and RAFTILINE® commercialized by Orafti. A prebiotic of this kind has been demonstrated to improve the response of the immune system.
In other embodiments, suitable nutritional supplements include vitamins and minerals that the body is usually not capable of synthesizing, and which are necessary for ensuring normal growth and/or daily body maintenance. In the context of the present discloser, the vitamins can be hydrosoluble or liposoluble vitamins. Examples includes, but are not limited to, Vitamin A (axerophtol or retinol), Vitamin D, Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol), Vitamin K, Vitamin B and/or PP (niacinamide or nicotinic acid amide) and Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid).
