  • Manufactured fruit compositions and methods of making
    Patent number: 10729168
    Abstract: A food composition and method of making is provided, the food composition comprising a first structural food unit comprising an edible matrix encapsulating an edible substance that optionally comprises one or more thickening agents; a second structural food unit, between about 10 times and about 106 times the size of the first structural food unit, comprising an edible hydrocolloid matrix encapsulating a first visco-elastic substance, the first visco-elastic substance comprising a soft food, xanthan gum, and galactomannan and a plurality of first structural food units, and wherein an outer surface of the first visco-elastic substance substantially adheres to an inner surface of the edible hydrocolloid matrix encapsulating the first visco-elastic substance.

  • SPHERICAL PRODUCT FORMATION IN A CONTINUOUS LIQUID ENROBER
    Publication number: 20180249757
    Abstract: Edible payloads can be partially or fully polymerized by a system that receives the payloads into still liquid that prevents or restricts contact with other payloads, and controls an amount of time to achieve a desired degree of polymerization. An enrobing system can include a main fluid channel and a payload channel intersecting the main fluid channel Fluid can be directed from a fluid source coupled to the main fluid channel such that fluid flows upwardly into the payload channel to form a stagnant region of liquid.
