  • How Many Peeps Do You Think Are Sold for Easter?
    How many Peeps do you think are sold for Easter? I figure that most people in the U.S. eat a Peep or multiple Peeps during the Easter season. I know some people can’t stand Peeps. Other people think they’re great. There are even Peep eating contests that seem to not make the contestants too sick. Peeps are known for being an Easter candy, but now Peeps are made and available year round. How many Peeps do you think are sold for Easter? 1. Make a guess that you think is too low: 2. Make a guess that you think is too high: 3. Guess the number of Peeps that you think are sold each year: 4. By considering a little more information, lets see how your guess compares to an educated estimate and the actual amount. What information would be helpful to determine the number of Peeps sold in a year? List your ideas and some of the ideas from your class below. 5. Now that you have some ideas about what information would be helpful, your teacher will provide you with a little more information that might help. List this information below. Use the information to estimate the number of Peeps sold in a year. Show all your work and reasoning below. 6. Lets take a random sample of the class to get an idea of our estimates. Your teacher will gather ten estimates. Record each of these estimates in the table below: Student Estimates for Peeps Sold in a Year Find the mean estimate: 7.

  • Thermal Behavior Characterization of a Sugar-Based Model System and Commercial Confections Across the Stages of Sugar Cooking
    THERMAL BEHAVIOR CHARACTERIZATION OF A SUGAR-BASED MODEL SYSTEM AND COMMERCIAL CONFECTIONS ACROSS THE STAGES OF SUGAR COOKING BY MELISSA WANG THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Food Science and Human Nutrition with a concentration in Food Science in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Professor Shelly J. Schmidt Abstract The stages of sugar cooking, although long-existing and widespread in the confection industry, are lacking in thermal behavior profile descriptions, which are crucial to confection functionality. Thermal behavior parameters, such as the glass transition temperature (Tg), are indicative of confection material structure and textural behavior. Tg plays an important role in governing the quality and shelf life of sugar-based confection, and is influenced by moisture content, formulation, and other factors. This study aimed to connect thermal behavior parameters to the stages of sugar cooking. Thus, the objective of this research was to investigate the thermal behavior of the six stages of sugar cooking, as well as representative commercial confections from each stage. A model sugar-based confectionery system was developed and representative commercial confections belonging to each stage of sugar cooking were selected. The model system consisted of a 70:30 ratio of sucrose to corn syrup and a 70:30 ratio of solids to moisture. To investigate the thermal behavior of the stages of sugar cooking, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), moisture content, and water activity analyses were conducted for the model system and representative commercial confections. The average Tg midpoint of the model system increased from thread to hard crack stage, corresponding to loss of water from increased cooking time and temperature.

  • Chewy Confections
    [Confections] Vol. 14 No. 9 September 2004 ww Chewy Confections By Peter Dea, Contributing Editor Gumdrops and lemon drops -- although both are candies, a gumdrop eats differently than a lemon drop. While you may chew on the former, you probably wouldn't the latter. Part of picking candy is based on how interactive you want it to be. That is -- at least for this discussion -- do you want to chew it? When it comes to satisfying our need for a bite-sized sweet treat that also fulfills our desire to chew, it's chewy confections that meet these requirements. Excluding chewing gums, the most common chewy confections include jellies, caramels and nougats, and taffies. Within these groups lie a wide variety of shapes, flavors, textures and sizes. In addition to their broad appeal as traditional confections, chewy treats also find popularity in additional segments as a delivery means for vitamins, minerals and other nutraceutical ingredients. And with the current trend of low-carb lifestyles, sugar-free chewy confections are enjoying new interest. The technology for producing these sweet treats has existed for a long time. But, to implement the knowledge for new applications, it's beneficial to have a good understanding of the basic formulae and processes for each type. Back to basics According to Henry Nonaka, senior technical sales support manager, Corn Products International, Bedford Park, IL: "Combinations of three sweeteners -- sucrose, 42 DE, and 63 DE corn syrups -- are the basis for about every cooked confectionery product. To a lesser extent, high-maltose and high-fructose corn syrups (HFCS) can be used." In combination with moisture content, confectioners vary the amounts of these ingredients to begin creating candies with different textures and eating characteristics.
