Abstract: An injection molding arrangement and process for producing regularly shaped pieces of gasified candy which effect a pleasant sizzling sensation in the mouth. A confectionary solution, which may be a sugar melt, is subjected to a superatmospheric carbonating pressure in a carbonating vessel to cause absorption therein of carbon dioxide. An injection mold for forming the solution into suitably shaped pieces of candy is prepressurized at a superatmospheric carbonation pressure prior to the injection therein of the confectionary solution. The solution is then injected into the mold at a pressure substantially above the superatmospheric pressure in the carbonation vessel. The solution is then allowed to cool and solidify in the pressurized mold, producing regularly shaped pieces of carbonated candy.

Abstract: Uniformly shaped pieces of gasified candy containing gas bubbles having a diameter below 150 microns produce a prolonged sizzling sensation when permitted to dissolve in the mouth. This confection is prepared by injection molding or deposit molding quantities of a gasified sugary melt under superatmospheric pressure.
