Abstract: A new and distinct Daphne cultivar named ‘DAPJUR01’ is disclosed, characterized by an abundance of large, highly fragrant flowers. Plants are bushy and produce unique, unusually long racemes of flowers. Additionally the new variety is sun tolerant. The new variety is a Daphne, normally produced as an outdoor garden or container plant.

Abstract: A new and distinct Magnolia cultivar named ‘JURMAG5’ is disclosed, characterized by having a compact habit, slower growth and large orange-yellow flowers with distinctly rounded petals. The new variety is a Magnolia, normally produced as an ornamental plant.

Abstract: A new and distinct Michelia cultivar named ‘MICJUR05’ is disclosed, characterized by having a pyramidal, moderately compact growth habit and abundant, fragrant, clear white flowers. Plants begin flowering in late Winter, and continue flowering for 12 weeks. The new variety is a Michelia, normally produced as a small ornamental tree or shrub.

Abstract: A new and distinct Michelia cultivar named ‘MICJUR02’ is disclosed, characterized by having a robust, compact growth habit and abundant masses of fragrant, creamy white flowers. Plants are evergreen and tolerate pruning and shaping very well, making them useful as a hedge, topiary or specimen tree. The new variety is a Michelia, normally produced as a small ornamental tree.

Abstract: A candy product of chocolate and of a syrup confectionery composition which are interspersed so that the syrup confectionery composition defines a plurality of veins dispersed in the product. Production of the product is effected by cold extrusion by applying pressure to a particulate mixture of the chocolate and syrup confectionery composition in an extruder, in that the mixture passed through the extruder and the extrudate from an extruder die are at a temperature so that the mixture and extrudate are in a non-pourable state, and the pressure is applied so that the chocolate and confectionery composition plastically deform so that the confectionery composition defines veins interspersed within the chocolate.

Abstract: A new and distinct Magnolia cultivar named ‘JURMAG4’ is disclosed, characterized by having an upright, fastigiate habit, dark pink petals, controlled growth without pruning, star shaped flowers and profuse flowering The new variety is a Magnolia, normally produced as a small ornamental tree.

Abstract: A confectionery product comprising chocolate or a fat-containing confectionery material together with a chewy sweet component having a base of a continuous syrup comprising a solution of sugars, sugar substitutes and/or glucose syrups in water characterised in that the confectionery product comprises a chocolate matrix having veins or strands of chewy sweet dispersed throughout.

Abstract: A chocolate or other fat-containing confectionery material is fed into and extruded from a screw extruder and the temperature of the extruder barrel wall and screw are controlled so that the material advanced through the extruder and the product from the die are non-pourable and so that the product is plastically deformable for a period of time, and in particular, the screw and barrel wall temperatures are controlled so that the screw has a temperature higher than the barrel wall temperature. Additionally, the material may be advanced within an extruder barrel wall which is roughened and the diameter of the screw root may increase in and along the direction of material advanced in the extruder.

Abstract: Shaped articles of fat-containing confectionery material are formed by extruding a fat-based confectionery material under pressure so that it passes to and through a flow-constriction and a die so that the material subjected to extrusion and the extrudate from the die are in a non-pourable state and so that the material subjected to extrusion plastically deforms and so that the extrudate is plastically deformable, and then while the extrudate is plastically deformable, extrudate is placed in a molding tool and pressed to shape an article which then is demolded, or extrudate is fed to a nip of counter-rotating rollers having depressions which upon passage of the extrudate in the nip between the rollers shape the extrudate.

Abstract: Vacuum pressure is applied in a process for extrusion of fat-based confectionery materials, particularly chocolate, chocolate substitute and chocolate analog materials. In the process, a fat-containing confectionery material is fed to, into and through an extruder having a flow constriction and die to obtain an extrudate from the die under conditions of temperature, pressure, contraction ratio and extrusion rate so that the material and the extrudate obtained from the die are in a non-pourable state and so that the material is deformed plastically in the extruder and so that the extrudate is plastically deformable for a period of time, and in the process, the vacuum pressure is applied to the material at a point prior to passing the material through the flow constriction.

Abstract: A container, such as a bag or a pouch, is made from a fat-based confectionery material, including such as a chocolate, and is formed by crimping an end or ends of a hollowed tube of the material or crimping edges of a sheet or sheets of the material brought together. The tube or sheet which is crimped is an extrudate which is, upon being obtained from an extruder, temporarily plastically deformable and thereby has a temporary flexibility, and the crimping is carried while the material is plastically deformable.

Abstract: A confectionery product which has discrete pieces of a chocolate material, which is a chocolate, a chocolate substitute or a chocolate analogue, having specific characteristic shapes which are images dispersed in a confectionery material is prepared by distributing the discrete pieces having a temperature less than 20.degree. C. into a stream of frozen, chilled or ambient confectionery material to obtain a composite product, and the composite product may be mixed.
