Narender Raju, Scientist, ICAR-NDRI, Karnal Content Writer: Mr. Borad Sanket, Scientist, ICAR-NDRI, Karnal 23. Caramel, Toffee and Fudge 1. CARAMEL History • Candies of fruit and nuts dipped in honey were prepared • 1st invented in 19th century in the USA Originally copper pots were used for the production of caramel which were placed directly on the gas flames Master confectioner used to observe the temperature carefully and than it was cooled on marble slap followed by scoring it into pieces Background Caramels- “soft glasses” viscous in nature, contain a dispersion of milk protein and an emulsion of fat Delicious, chewy treats, found in a range of textures, colours, flavours and products Sweet and a bit chewy- the most desirable Short- a caramel that is too soft (perhaps too moist) Long- a caramel that is quite chewy Caramels are softer because of lower cooking temperature (118°C) than hard candies and contain more moisture Cont… Caramel- easy to mould and also in variety of candies to add flavour, binding and texture. Heat + milk solids + sugar ingredients = a typical caramel flavour The chemical reaction referred as the Maillard reaction – responsible for development of attributes of caramel Raw Materials Different raw materials - depending on the manufacturing and type of caramel production Most frequently made caramel: The vanilla caramel - include milk, sometimes sweetened condensed milk, corn syrup, sugar, oil, whey, calcium carbonate, salt, flavour, butter, another type of fat such as vegetable oil, molasses, and corn starch. Milk – essential ingredient to distinguish the caramel from a hard candy Milk solids - change chemically to produce the caramel Cont… Corn syrup - additional sweetness, also protects the mixture from becoming grainy Corn syrup also imparts body to the slurry Butter - often the only fat added by gourmet caramel-makers - it provides superior taste But very expensive for mass-production Other fats - added along with a fairly small amount of butter The Manufacturing Process Several methods - used in industry A batch method: also employed - as below Weighing of Ingredients accurately Loading of liquid and dry ingredients in the machine Mixing of ingredients by propellers in the weigh tank Heating of slurry to dissolve ingredients Cont… Final evaporation in the SSHE Syrup is forced through a small space jacketed with steam, thus forcing evaporation within the mixture Caramelization by heating at 1150C Cooling of the product Shaping of the caramel Source: Weighing, packaging and storage E. B. Jackson, Sugar confectionery manufacture Quality Control To much sugar - caramel becomes grainy Too much moisture - too gooey in warm weather Too little moisture/cooked to high heat - “long” or chewy caramel Insufficient mixing during cooking – either of any of:- Grittiness due to uneven dispersion of proteins Oily taste due to incomplete emulsification of fat Quality Control - necessary for avoiding problems Quality of all consumable ingredient - must be checked Product quality depended totally on the skill of the confectioner 2. Toffee • Word Toffee derived from ‘taffy’, a dialect word for ‘sticky’ • Toffee: high sugar boiled confectionary • Low moisture content, chewable and harder texture • Ranging from viscous liquid to hard sugar glass • Nearest the oil in water emulsion, continuous phase of sugar and glucose syrup • Caramel and Toffee – used interchangeably in many countries Ingredients • Sugar • Glucose syrup • Milk protein • Fat • Salt • Water • Other additives e.g. colour, flavour etc. Structure Of Toffee • Emulsion of fat in complex aqueous system • Mixture of sugars, water and protein - resistant to crystallization • Toffees - number of textural characteristics: • Hardness - function of moisture content. • Chewiness and toughness - related to molecular weight of the carbohydrates • Body - function of quantity and state of the milk protein -affected by quantity ,degree of emulsification and hardness of fat Formulations • Depends on the requirements of the toffee • May be for wrapping as a sweet, for depositing into chocolate shells or layering on to other confectionary products • Balanced recipe contains 3 parts of sugar, 5 parts of glucose syrup, 3 parts of sweetened condensed milk and 1 part of fat • For wrapped toffees, the ration of sugar to non-crystallizing sugars should be 1.1:1 • Milk protein used up to 2 % acceptable The Manufacturing Process Weighing of Ingredients accurately Dissolving the sugars in the water and glucose syrup Mixing of fat and SMP to the aqueous phase Emulsification of the mixture Cooking of emulsion to achieve final moisture content Cont… Shaping of the finished toffee Cooling of the toffee Packaging and storage Source: E. B. Jackson, Sugar confectionery manufacture 3. FUDGE INTRODUCTION • Fudge - grained product - a ‘fondant’ containing milk protein and fat, often butter fat • Characteristic flavour of caramel or toffee • A cross between caramel and cream • Wide range of texture from the hard ‘snappy’ to the soft tender texture • Often an egg whip added for light ‘fluffy’ texture Ingredients Basic ingredients are: • Sugar • Glucose syrup • Milk protein • Fat • Salt • Water Composition Components Proportion Reducing sugar solids 17-25% Sugar 45-55% Fat and Milk solids 20% Moisture 7-10% Processing Basic unit operations are: • Pre-mixing • Emulsification • Cooking/Caramelization • Cooling • Graining • Forming The Manufacturing Process Mixing of all ingredients (Fat, Milk, Glucose syrup, Sugar, Salt and Water) Emulsification of ingredients using high speed stirrers or ultrasonic homogenizers (70-80°C for 10-20 min.) Cooking/Caramelization with constant stirring (116°C for 20 min.) Cooling of the mixture to below 105°C Cont… Addition of fondant for Seeding/Graining Filling into trays Cutting and Wrapping Packing in heat-sealed polythene bags Source: Storage at room temperature E.

  • Caramelization of Sugar
    Caramelization of Sugar Sugar is caramelized when it is melted into a clear golden to dark brown syrup, reaching a temperature from 320 to 356 degrees F. It goes through many stages which are determined by the recipe being made. Using a pure copper sugar pan will allow total control of the sugar and avoid crystallization of sugar. At 338 degrees F, the sugar syrup begins to caramelize creating an intense flavor and rich color, from light and clear to dark brown. Depending upon when the cooking stops and it cools and hardens, caramel textures can range from soft to brittle. A soft caramel is a candy made with caramelized sugar, butter and milk. Crushed caramel is used as a topping for ice cream and other desserts. When it cracks easily and is the base for nut brittles. To start, add some water to dry sugar in a pure copper sugar pan, stirring, until it reaches the consistency of wet sand. An interfering agent, such as lemon juice will help prevent re-crystallization because of the acid in it. Instead of using lemon juice, you could add acidity with vinegar, cream of tartar or corn syrup. Always start with a very clean pan and utensils. Any dirt or debris can cause crystals to form around it. Heat the pure copper sugar pan over a medium flame. As the sugar melts, you can wash down the sides of a pan with a wet brush, which also prevents crystallization by removing any dried drops of syrup that might start crystals. As the caramel heats, it colors in amber shades from light to deep brown.

  • 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.
