Description
78~
`- 2 -This invention relates to the production of food products in the form of individual articles, particularly salted culinary products or articles of confectionery or chocolate~
S ~ore particularly, the invention relates to the production of compact individual bars from a powder-form product.
Existing products are generally produced by extruding and dividing up a so-called ribbon or by the cold compaction under high pressure of powder or even by the moistening of a powder to convert it into a tacky mass, rolling the mass thus formed, dividing it up into individual portions and then drying it by heat treatment, the heat treatment optionally being carried out in vacuo to cause the product.to expand.
These processes are expensive and difficult to carxy out:
- the end product lacks homoyeneity because of the dificulty Of uniformly dispersing the liquid, - the economy of the process is poor because the moistening of the powder to convert it into a tacky mass necessitates subsequent evaporation of the water introduced, - the fact that no mould is used means that compaction has to be carried out under a very high pressure to ensure that the individual products retain their shape and are "self-supporting", this operation frequently being followed by expansion in vacuo to enable the structure to be aerated.
It has now been found that moulded articles, particularly ,! ~
~L~7~ 7 in the form of bars, may ~e produced from a powcler-form starting material by a particularly simple process which does not have any of the disadvantages attending known processes.
The presen* invention provides a process for the production of a food product in the form of an individual article, particularly a bar, from a powder~form starting material which is capable of being superficially softened under the effect of heat and which has a high degree of fluidity, which comprises introducing the powder into the cells of a mould, lightly compacting it in the cells, subjecting the compacted powder to a sinteringtreatment in a furnace over a period and at a temperature of the product such that the individual particle~s superficially melt and adhere to one another, removing the articles from the mould and subsequently cooling them.
The constituent particles of the powder should be capable of melting superficially and of fusing to one another so as to form a rigid structure which does not disintegrate after cooling.
In the context o~ the invention, a "powder having a high level o~ fluidity" is understood to be a powder of which the constituent particles are dry to the touch and non-tacky and flow freely. The moisture content of a powder such as this is generally its natural equilibrium moisture content at which the product used is normally packed.
Provided that it satisfies the above-mentioned requirements of superficial melting and fluidity, the powder-form starting material may be selected from a wide variety of carbohydrate-containing food-grade materials S used either individually or in admixture. The category of culinary products includes for example vegetable, meat and fish extracts, protein hydrolysates, yeast extracts, cheese, milk, cereals, starches, particularly modified starches and dextrins. The starting material may also contain other ingredients such as spices, flavourings, colourants, fats, sugars or salts.
The starting materials for articles of confectionery or chocolate include, for example, fruit extracts, sugars, maltodextrins, cocoa, coffee, chicory, malted cereals, lS milk and fats. These materials may also contain the ingredien~s normally used in the production of confectionery and chocolate, such as flavourings, lecithins, boiled sugars, honey, caramel, nougatine, expanded cereals, dried fruit or size-reduced or whole candied fruit.
In general, it is preferred to use predominantly carbohydrate-containing starting materials characterised by a fats content of less than 25% by weight and a moisture content of less than 20% by weight.
The particle size of the powder naturally has a bearing upon the texture of the produc~. The finished article will be more compact, the iner the powder used.
Particles ranging from 0.1 to 3 mm in diameter give . ,, satisfactory results, To carry out the process according to the invention, the cells of a mould are filled to the brim with powder and the product is levelled by means of a scraper, the individual cell forming both the mould and th~ metering unit ~or the product.
The powder is then compacted by the application of a pressure corresponding to between 1 and 8 kgjcm2 at the level of the product by means of a piston adapted to the cell of the mould. The obiect of this operation is to bring the individual particles of powder into contact which is necessary for the subsequent roasting operation and the final structure of the product.
Alternatively, the moulds may be vibrated to ensure lS good contact between the individual particles of powder, this operation replacing the compacting operation.
The following so-called roasting step comprises heating the compacted product for 3 to lO minutes to a temperature of from 45 to 120C in a tunnel furnace. The duration of the treatment and the temperature applied depend upon the volume of powder to be treated, its nature, its composition and its moisture contentO The object of this treatment is to place the powder in a state of superficial fusion so that the individual particles melt at their surface and adhere to one another. The temperature of the furnace depends upon the type of apparatus used and is generally in the range from lO0 to 300C. During this ,~
8~
operation, the product loses 211 or part of its e~uil.ibrium moisture in contrast to the conventional processes in which the product is first moistened and then dried by heat treatment.
For reasons of effectiveness of the process, it is preferred to keep to a thickness of the product of approximately ?0 mm to ensure that there is a transfer of heat which gives a product of homogeneous textureO
At the outlet end of the furnace, the products are removed from their moulds by inverting the moulds which are recycled. The articles are then cooled, in particular to a temperature below 25~C in the case of articles intended to be coated with chocolate.
The coating consists of one or two layers and forms a protective barrier against the penetration of moisture and against fat-induced whitening. Th~e products thus coated are then packed, for example using the flow-pack system.
The accompanying drawing d.iagrammatically illustrates one example of an installation for continuously carrying out the process according to the invention.
The Figure is a simpli~ied diagram of the installation.
As shown in the drawing, the installation comprises a feed hopper 1 which distributes the powder into the cells

The presen* invention provides a process for the production of a food product in the form of an individual article, particularly a bar, from a powder~form starting material which is capable of being superficially softened under the effect of heat and which has a high degree of fluidity, which comprises introducing the powder into the cells of a mould, lightly compacting it in the cells, subjecting the compacted powder to a sinteringtreatment in a furnace over a period and at a temperature of the product such that the individual particle~s superficially melt and adhere to one another, removing the articles from the mould and subsequently cooling them.
The constituent particles of the powder should be capable of melting superficially and of fusing to one another so as to form a rigid structure which does not disintegrate after cooling.
In the context o~ the invention, a "powder having a high level o~ fluidity" is understood to be a powder of which the constituent particles are dry to the touch and non-tacky and flow freely. The moisture content of a powder such as this is generally its natural equilibrium moisture content at which the product used is normally packed.
Provided that it satisfies the above-mentioned requirements of superficial melting and fluidity, the powder-form starting material may be selected from a wide variety of carbohydrate-containing food-grade materials S used either individually or in admixture. The category of culinary products includes for example vegetable, meat and fish extracts, protein hydrolysates, yeast extracts, cheese, milk, cereals, starches, particularly modified starches and dextrins. The starting material may also contain other ingredients such as spices, flavourings, colourants, fats, sugars or salts.
The starting materials for articles of confectionery or chocolate include, for example, fruit extracts, sugars, maltodextrins, cocoa, coffee, chicory, malted cereals, lS milk and fats. These materials may also contain the ingredien~s normally used in the production of confectionery and chocolate, such as flavourings, lecithins, boiled sugars, honey, caramel, nougatine, expanded cereals, dried fruit or size-reduced or whole candied fruit.
In general, it is preferred to use predominantly carbohydrate-containing starting materials characterised by a fats content of less than 25% by weight and a moisture content of less than 20% by weight.
The particle size of the powder naturally has a bearing upon the texture of the produc~. The finished article will be more compact, the iner the powder used.
Particles ranging from 0.1 to 3 mm in diameter give . ,, satisfactory results, To carry out the process according to the invention, the cells of a mould are filled to the brim with powder and the product is levelled by means of a scraper, the individual cell forming both the mould and th~ metering unit ~or the product.
The powder is then compacted by the application of a pressure corresponding to between 1 and 8 kgjcm2 at the level of the product by means of a piston adapted to the cell of the mould. The obiect of this operation is to bring the individual particles of powder into contact which is necessary for the subsequent roasting operation and the final structure of the product.
Alternatively, the moulds may be vibrated to ensure lS good contact between the individual particles of powder, this operation replacing the compacting operation.
The following so-called roasting step comprises heating the compacted product for 3 to lO minutes to a temperature of from 45 to 120C in a tunnel furnace. The duration of the treatment and the temperature applied depend upon the volume of powder to be treated, its nature, its composition and its moisture contentO The object of this treatment is to place the powder in a state of superficial fusion so that the individual particles melt at their surface and adhere to one another. The temperature of the furnace depends upon the type of apparatus used and is generally in the range from lO0 to 300C. During this ,~
8~
operation, the product loses 211 or part of its e~uil.ibrium moisture in contrast to the conventional processes in which the product is first moistened and then dried by heat treatment.
For reasons of effectiveness of the process, it is preferred to keep to a thickness of the product of approximately ?0 mm to ensure that there is a transfer of heat which gives a product of homogeneous textureO
At the outlet end of the furnace, the products are removed from their moulds by inverting the moulds which are recycled. The articles are then cooled, in particular to a temperature below 25~C in the case of articles intended to be coated with chocolate.
The coating consists of one or two layers and forms a protective barrier against the penetration of moisture and against fat-induced whitening. Th~e products thus coated are then packed, for example using the flow-pack system.
The accompanying drawing d.iagrammatically illustrates one example of an installation for continuously carrying out the process according to the invention.
The Figure is a simpli~ied diagram of the installation.
As shown in the drawing, the installation comprises a feed hopper 1 which distributes the powder into the cells
2 of moulds 3 fixed to a conveyor belt 4 circulating step-by-step (5 to 15 steps per minute) in the direction of the arrow f. After or during filling, the mould is levelled off : ;
.
~7~
by the scraper 5. The moulds are then directed to a compacting press 6 which comprises stamps 7 adapted to the cavities o the mould and which makes a downwardly directed compression movement during the stoppage time of the conveyor in synchronisation with the step-by-step transport of the moulds (arrow d)o The moulds travel through a tunnel furnace 8 equipped with one or more heating zones.
At the outlet end of the furnace, the product is removed from its mould at the station 9. The moulds are returned to the f illing station along a path which has not been shown.
The articles removed from their moulds are then cooled in the tunnel lO, subsequently coated at the station ll and wrapped at a packing station (not shown).
The process according to the invention is illustrated by the following Examples in which the values express ratios by weight~
