Abstract: The invention relates to the manufacture of foods, in particular to aerated confectionery products, like marshmallow-type products, to foam structuring compositions, and methods for preparing them. Provided is an aerated confectionery product having a density up to 0.5 g/cm3, the product comprising as foam structuring composition a combination of (i) a native potato protein; (ii) a gelling starch; and (iii) a highly branched starch (HBS) obtained by treatment of starch or a starch derivative with glycogen branching enzyme (EC 2.4.1.18), and wherein said HBS has a molecular branching degree of at least 6%, wherein the molecular branching degree is defined as the percentage of ?-1,6 glycosidic linkages of the total of ?-1,6 and ?-1,4 glycosidic linkages ((?-1,6/(?-1,6+?-1,4)*100%).

Abstract: The invention relates to confectionery products and methods for producing them. Provided is a chewy candy comprising a starch-based gelling agent, wherein said gelling agent is a highly branched starch (HBS), preferably wherein said HBS has a molecular branching degree of at least 6%, more preferably at least 6.5%. In a specific aspect, the chewy candy is essentially free of gelatin or other animal-derived ingredient.
