Abstract: |
Soft cookies, biscuits, snacks and the like, are produced from a specially formulated and prepared dough. The soft edible products retain their fresh baked, moist, tender texture for extended periods of time. A firm gel, capable of being ground, is formed from: (a) a viscous liquid, e.g., a corn syrup, (b) a gum, e.g., an alginate gum, (c) an optional humectant and dispersing agent for the gum, e.g., glycerine, (d) a calcium ion source for gelling the gum, and (e) an optional humectant and dispersing agent for the calcium ion source, e.g., propylene glycol, using high shear mixing. The ground gel is incorporated into the cookie or other dough prior to baking.

First Claim:
Show all 41 claims |
What is claimed is:
1. A method for making an edible firm gel composition capable of being ground for producing soft-textured baked products from a dough, comprising mixing:
- (a) an edible viscous liquid;
- (b) from about 0.25 to about 4 parts by weight of an edible gum capable of being set by calcium ions, and
- (c) from about 0.1 to about 4 parts by weight of a calcium ion source for setting said gum,
said parts by weight being based upon 100 parts by weight of said edible viscous liquid, said mixing being under mixing conditions to substantially avoid the initial formation of lumps and to form a substantially homogeneous, lump-free blend.
