Abstract

See full text

The invention provides a number of centrefilled confectionery compositions, in which the centrefill comprises at least 1% by weight dietary fibre, and the confectionery shell (which may be jelly candy, chewy candy, or hard boiled candy) is substantially free of dietary fibre. In the case of a shell of jelly candy or chewy candy, the shell should additionally comprise gelatin. In addition, the invention provides a centrefilled confectionery composition comprising at least 20% by weight of centrefill, wherein the centrefill comprises at least 1% by weight of dietary fibre. The invention further provides the use of a centrefill comprising dietary fibre in a confectionery composition comprising sugar alcohols, to offset the laxative effect of the sugar alcohols; the use of dietary fibre in a centrefill to improve the product integrity of a centrefilled confectionery composition; and a method for manufacturing a centrefilled confectionery composition involving co-deposition of two syrups into mould cavity, one of the syrups being substantially free from dietary fibre and forming the confectionery shell, with the other syrup comprising dietary fibre and forming the centrefill.
