With the development of domestic candy industry, various types of candy, such as health candy, low-sugar candy, fun candy and ecological candy, have a tendency to accelerate their pace and collectively attack the high-end candy market in China. In contrast, the products in China candy market are very single. Under the dual pressure of fierce competition between foreign enterprises and domestic enterprises, the development of products in China candy industry is blocked.
The competition of domestic candy enterprises mainly stays at the price level, and the development of new fields is obviously insufficient compared with foreign capital. The homogenization of products has seriously hindered the competition between domestic candy enterprises and foreign brands, making their profits far less than those of foreign brands, and the main battlefield of domestic brands has also been forced to sink to the secondary and tertiary markets.
It is worth noting that the annual per capita consumption of candy in the world is about 3 kg, while that in China is only 0.7 kg, so the development potential of the candy market in China is huge. The breakthrough of domestic enterprises should focus on the upgrading of products, constantly introduce new products and constantly enrich product varieties. China's candy industry is facing the demand pattern of small products and big market, and candy production enterprises are in the stage of structural adjustment, product renewal, survival of the fittest and enterprise reorganization. With the completion of the market-oriented operation of candy food from product competition to marketing, the candy industry has entered the era of brand competition.
Introduction candy (English: sweets, Japanese name: キャンディ) can be divided into hard candy, hard sandwich candy, cream candy, gel candy, polished candy, gum-based candy, inflatable candy and tablet candy. Among them, hard candy is a kind of hard and brittle candy with white sugar and starch syrup as the main components; Sandwich hard candy is a kind of hard candy with stuffing inside; Buttercup candy is made of white sugar and starch syrup (or other sugar, oil and dairy products), with a protein of not less than 65,438+0.5% and a fat of not less than 3.0%, which has a special creamy flavor and burnt flavor. Gel sugar is a soft candy made of edible gum (or starch), white sugar and starch syrup (or other sugar). Polished candy is a candy with a bright and solid surface; Gum sugar is a chewable or foamable candy made of white sugar (or sweetener) and gum-based substances. Inflatable candy is a candy with small and uniform bubbles in the sugar body; Tablet candy is a kind of candy that has been granulated, bonded and pressed.
Classification of disaccharides formed by condensation of two maltose molecules through а glycosidic bonds. It is the main component of maltose. Made from malt containing amylase acting on starch. Used as a nutrient and also used to prepare culture medium.
From a chemical point of view, maltose is a chemical term and belongs to disaccharide. It is a white needle-like crystal. However, the common maltose is not crystallized, and because sucrose is added during cooking, the white maltose turns golden yellow, which increases its color and fragrance.
Maltose, also known as glutinous rice sugar, is made of wheat and glutinous rice. It is sweet and delicious, rich in nutrition, and has the effect of invigorating stomach and promoting digestion. It is a kind of food suitable for all ages.
The production of maltose is roughly divided into the following steps: first, soak wheat, let it germinate to three or four centimeters long, and take its buds and chop them for later use. Then clean the glutinous rice, pour it into the pot, stew it, stir it evenly with the broken malt, and ferment it for 3-4 hours until it becomes juice. Then the filtered juice is boiled into paste with strong fire, and amber candy is obtained after cooling. When eating, heat it, stir it out with two sticks, and pull the sugar as silvery white as Lamian Noodles.
In nature, maltose mainly exists in germinated grains, especially malt, hence its name. Under the action of starch invertase, starch is hydrolyzed to maltose, and maltose is hydrolyzed to two molecules of glucose. Maltose can be made into crystals and used as a sweetener, but the sweetness is only 1/3 of sucrose. Maltose is a cheap nutritious food, which is easily digested and absorbed by human body. Maltose has aldehyde groups in its molecular structure, which is reducing and a reducing sugar. Therefore, it can react with silver ammonia solution through silver mirror, or it can react with newly made basic copper hydroxide to generate brick red precipitate. It can hydrolyze to produce two molecules of glucose under certain conditions.
Colorless or white crystals, thick syrup. The crystalline maltose of one molecule of water melts and decomposes at 102~ 103℃. Soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol. Reductive disaccharides include aldehyde group reaction and silver mirror reaction, and can also be heated with Bancroft reagent (prepared with copper sulfate, sodium carbonate or caustic soda, sodium citrate and other solutions) to generate brick red cuprous oxide precipitate. It can make bromine water fade and be oxidized into maltogenic acid. Hydrolyzed into 2 molecules of glucose under the heating of dilute acid or the action of α -glucosidase and used as food, nutrition, etc. It is made by hydrolysis of starch, which is usually made by mixing enzymes in malt with starch paste and fermenting at a suitable temperature.
Maple sugar maple, also known as maple sugar, is a tall deciduous tree. It is 40 meters high, 40- 100cm in diameter and 500 years old. The trunk contains a lot of starch and turns into sucrose in winter. In warm weather, sucrose will turn into sweet juice. If you drill a hole in the tree, the sap will flow out. Sugar made from boiled tree juice is called maple syrup or maple syrup. Maple sugar is rich in minerals and organic acids, and its calories are lower than sucrose, fructose and corn sugar, but calcium, magnesium and organic acids are much higher than other sugars, which can supplement the weak constitution with unbalanced nutrition. The sweetness of maple sugar is not as high as honey, and the sugar content is about 66% (the sugar content of honey is about 79%-8 1%, and the sugar content is as high as 99.4%).
Maple syrup made at the end of the harvest season in early April. It has a strong maple leaf flavor and is an indispensable seasoning helper for cooking cookies, cakes and desserts. Canada's famous international maple syrup and maple syrup ice cream use this grade as the protagonist.
The production season is at the end of April, which is the last harvest season of the year.
This is a special maple syrup for cooking, which is characterized by caramel-like taste. Mainly because of its strong smell, it is widely used in cooking, baking and some special food condiments. In Europe, the United States and Japan, it is also used as a spice to make a popular maple sugar-flavored cigarette.
Every year from May to August, maple trees store starch in their roots to prepare nutrients for the next year. When the snow and ice melt in early spring, the starch stored in the roots of maple trees begins to be converted into sugar, which is also the season when maple sugar workers begin to collect sap and make maple sugar. Maple sugar season is very short, generally from mid-March to mid-April, only about six weeks before and after.
The production of maple syrup is also very simple, that is, the maple syrup is heated to evaporate the water in the sap bit by bit, and finally a slightly thick maple syrup is formed. Usually, 40 kg of maple juice can only process 1 kg of maple syrup. Only maple trees over 40 years old or more than 25 cm in diameter will produce useful juice. For the healthy growth of maple, the amount of juice taken should not exceed 5% of the total. So maple sugar is very expensive. For example, a bottle of natural maple sugar is only 236ml, but the price is $4.99.
This sugary maple is different from other maples. It is yellow in autumn, while other maples are red.
Jiaozi Sugar jiaozi Sugar is one of the earliest candies in China. It is mainly made of rose, maltose and pine nuts with sucrose.
Its shape is like a triangular zongzi, hence the name zongzi sugar. Jiaozi sugar is hard, transparent and shiny. You can clearly see that roses and pine nuts are evenly scattered in the sugar, just like beautiful crystal stones. Sweet and delicious, with the fragrance of pine nuts and roses. Due to the influence of climate, it is not suitable for production in summer.
Ingredients: sucrose, pine nuts, dried roses, liquid glucose, vinegar essence.
Production method:
1, the method of cooking sugar is the same as peanut candy.
2. Pine nuts and roses must be baked, otherwise they can't be used, so as to avoid the pine nuts and roses from getting wet, and it is easy to turn sugar into sand when poured into the sugar paste.
3. After the sugar is cooled and boiled to 160℃, pour it on a cooling table filled with tap water, sprinkle pine nuts and dried roses on the sugar paste while it is hot, and fold it back and forth with a scraper. When the sugar paste is folded and cooled, the water evaporates continuously, and the sugar paste gradually condenses into soft candy.
4, integer: organize manpower, quickly, put the fudge on the counter, divide it into small pieces, knead the sugar, and knead it into round strips (pay attention to keep the room temperature).
5. Cut sugar: cut sugar with scissors. When cutting sugar, pay attention to turning it every time. Cut sugar is triangular no matter which side you look at it. If you switch to machine production, you can also cut out triangles.
6, packaging: after the sugar is fully cooled, packaging, so as to avoid easy adhesion of sugar.
7, quality standards:
Color: light yellow brown, transparent and shiny. Shape: triangle, no broken edges and short corners, 240~250 pieces per kilogram.
Sweet-scented osmanthus sugar, formerly known as "foreign sugar" in the city, is a traditional seasonal specialty in our city. In ancient times, there was a folk song "wine in Taoyuan (referring to the county seat), sugar in the city, fried dough sticks in the river." Long-handled fried dough sticks are purely exaggerated, but Taoyuan famous wine and Qiao's "foreign sugar" are worthy of the name.
Shi Jiao's "foreign sugar" originated in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and its predecessor was the tube sugar in Taoyuan Township. The candy tube is covered with sesame seeds, but the inside is solid. At first glance, it looks exactly the same as the later sweet-scented osmanthus candy. But the taste is very different, there is no fragrance of osmanthus, no sweetness of sugar-free core, and no crispness of coated wall. One year, a pastry chef of Joe's followed a wood merchant to Nanjing, and he was inspired to see that several cakes in Nanjing had the fragrance of osmanthus. When I came back, I added osmanthus powder to the candy. At first, the aroma was there, but the sugar-free core was still terrible.
Soon, the governor ordered the exhibition of famous local products, and the master went to Nanjing for advice, skillfully prepared prescriptions and developed them day and night. After some efforts, a hollow, round stem, sweet and delicious sugar shaped like a tube was finally made.
This candy was given to the county magistrate and Jun Fu as a tribute to the palace. It was listed as the "best product" and commended. Since then, the reputation has been greatly improved, and the market has become wider and wider. And together with Hong Kong businessmen who buy oil and timber, they export to foreign countries. "foreign sugar" also got its name. Later, with the advancement of history, the production method and quality of "foreign sugar" were continuously improved, and "foreign sugar" evolved into sweet-scented osmanthus sugar, which was rated as a national high-quality product and won two silver awards.
Sweet-scented osmanthus sugar is fried with rice soaked in oil, and sweet-scented osmanthus with white sugar as the core sugar. The firepower is appropriate, the hemp is evenly spread, and the branches are neat. Osmanthus fragrans used for making must be fresh and fragrant. When it is in full bloom, pick the flowers from the tree. Add white sugar and seal it, and it becomes the raw material of heart candy. Sweet-scented osmanthus sugar is very strict in the choice of sweet-scented osmanthus, and its production is also very elegant.
Sweet-scented osmanthus sugar is one of the specialties of Taoyuan, which enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad. But the legend of sweet-scented osmanthus candy is not known to everyone. Many years ago, there was a green osmanthus tree in the Peach Blossom Garden. The trunk of this green osmanthus tree is not thick, but its branches and leaves are particularly lush. Once every twenty-five years and once every fifty years. When osmanthus blossoms, its fragrance is thick and it floats far away. Drift to the mountains, mountain incense; Floating in the water, the water smells good. People from far and near come here to see osmanthus. From flowering to the end of the flower season, there is a month. Therefore, when you are in bloom, people who come to enjoy it are always in an endless stream.
This year, the green osmanthus tree has blossomed again, but just after it opened, it encountered a strong wind and blew the flowers to the ground. It was swept away by the wind and rolled into the corner of the mountain. I only heard a pile of soil collapse with a bang, burying osmanthus in the soil. People who come to see the flowers feel very strange. The green laurel should blossom. Why can't you see leaves on the tree? But they talked for a while and then went back, and soon forgot all about it.
After more than ten years, people have already smelled the fragrance of osmanthus. This fragrance is stronger and more mellow than before, and it has gone further, so everyone has come to enjoy the flowers again. But the osmanthus on the green osmanthus tree didn't bloom. Where did this smell come from? It turned out that this fragrance floated from the tuba belly, and the tuba in the Peach Blossom Garden not far away also became fragrant.
The news caused a sensation among the people who entered the village, and even more people came. Two brothers surnamed Wang from the neighboring village also came to see the wonders. When I got home, my brother inexplicably asked my brother, why is the tuba so fragrant? Brother also thinks it may make sense. As soon as the two brothers discussed it, they decided to dig up the soil and have a look.
The younger brother was impatient, picked up the hoe and left, and the older brother followed. They dug beside the fragrant soil for three days and nights, and dug three feet and three meters. Finally, the hoe dug down and rushed out a fragrance from the soil belly. The two brothers were drunk and fell to the ground. After a long time, they woke up. When they opened their eyes, they saw that the ground was covered with osmanthus flowers, and the fragrance in the soil belly was still spraying on the ground. How does cinnamon come out of the stomach? The two brothers were silent, only remembering that more than ten years ago, the green osmanthus tree only opened for a while, and it disappeared without a trace. Isn't osmanthus buried in this soil? It has been buried for more than ten years, and now it smells so sweet and mellow! The two brothers put osmanthus under their noses and smelled it. With a little smell of alcohol, they taste in their mouths, soft and sweet. They carried these osmanthus flowers home, dug a big pit and sealed it with mud. From then on, they started the osmanthus business. People have heard that green osmanthus flowers only bloom once every 50 years, and they all rush to buy them. In just a few days, I sold a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus. After discussion, the two brothers came up with a new method: make sugar with rice, put a pot of sugar and sprinkle a handful of osmanthus in it. This kind of sugar sold quickly as soon as it came into the market. People eat sweetly and smell fragrant. Who wouldn't rush to buy it? The two brothers made money and founded Qi Hang again. This Qi Hang only sells this kind of sugar.
The sugar made by the two brothers became more and more famous, and their craftsmanship became more and more refined. Later, it was named foreign sugar, which was later osmanthus sugar. Sweet-scented osmanthus candy is also a specialty of Taoyuan.
Suanjiao candy Suanjiao candy refers to a kind of candy made from Suanjiao as raw material through processing. The raw materials are taken from the local natural pollution-free sour horn and refined by special technology. It is a pollution-free natural green food. Its fruit is gelatinous, its taste is exquisite and excellent, its flavor is outstanding, and it can experience the wonderful life in the ups and downs. Rich in vitamins, it is a fashionable leisure food for holiday entertainment and relaxation.
Starch sugar is made from cereals and potatoes containing starch by acid method, acid enzyme method or enzyme method, including maltose, glucose, fructose syrup and so on. , collectively referred to as starch sugar. Starch sugar has a long history in China. Sugar was mentioned in Qi Yaoming's Book more than 500 years ago, and the method of making sugar from rice was described in detail. China's sugar production and consumption have long been dominated by sucrose, supplemented by starch sugar, and the state has vigorously cultivated and popularized starch sugar. By the end of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, due to the technical progress of starch sugar industry, the output and quality were improved and the material consumption was reduced. The intensive and large-scale operation of enterprises has reduced the cost of starch sugar products and gradually expanded the starch sugar market, which has become an important supplement to the sugar market. Starch sugar is a pillar product of starch deep processing because of its wide consumption field and large consumption. It has been widely used in many industries such as food, medicine and paper making for a long time. With the development of corn deep processing, food industry, the progress of biotechnology such as enzyme preparation and the change of people's consumption structure, China's starch sugar industry has made remarkable development, towards multi-variety, personalization, specialization and scale development, with a substantial increase in output and increasingly perfect variety structure.
In 2005, the output of starch sugar reached 4.2 million tons and the output value reached 9.24 billion yuan. China ranks second in the world in starch sugar production after the United States. Starch sugar industry is one of the important ways of agricultural industrialization and grain deep processing. Therefore, starch sugar industry plays an important role in China's national economic development.
Toffee Toffee (translated from Hong Kong as Toffee) is a western-style candy made of brown sugar or molasses and cream. It is made by boiling molasses brown sugar until it is very thick, and then stirring the substance by hand or machine until the candy becomes shiny and can maintain its solid shape.
Lollipop Lollipop was invented by Enrique bernat Fonliadosa, a Spanish candy merchant. Insert a stick into the candy to make it easy to hold.
Lollipops are children's favorite candy, which are produced by candy manufacturers at all levels in the world. In addition to the lollipops made of ordinary hard candy, there are various forms, such as cotton candy lollipops, which can be made into more complicated cartoon shapes, and some lollipops also have the functions of whistling and lighting.
Coconut sugar Coconut sugar is made from fresh coconut juice, maltose, white sugar, cocoa powder and milk in Hainan Island by special scientific methods. Divided into traditional crispy coconut hard candy, coconut soft candy, coffee candy and other varieties. It inherits the tradition of producing candy in Hainan, which is fragrant and delicious with pure taste. It not only retains the original flavor of coconut, but also is sweet and delicious.
Coconut sugar has high nutritional value. Chinese medicine believes that coconut sugar is sweet and warm, which has the effect of promoting body fluid and benefiting water. Moreover, coconut leaves contain many nutrients, such as sugar, glucose, sucrose, protein, fat, vitamin B, vitamin C and trace elements and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and iron.
Harmful sugar is not the chief culprit of the disease. According to epidemiological research results, sugar intake is not directly related to obesity, while fat intake is closely related to obesity. Diabetes has nothing to do with how much sugar is eaten, because diabetes is caused by impaired islet function. Eating sugar is not directly related to the increase of blood lipid. It should be said that the main dietary factor affecting blood lipid changes is saturated fatty acids. Only when the intake of sucrose or fructose is high will the blood lipid increase, which is due to the unique metabolic pathway of fructose in the liver. Therefore, sugar will not cause an increase in blood lipids under normal intake.
Sugar is not the cause of dental caries. As we all know, Britain has always maintained a high per capita sugar consumption, but the incidence of dental caries is low. In contrast, in China, where the consumption of candy in grocery stores is low, the incidence of dental caries is high. People think that eating sugar often will lead to dental caries, because sugar exists in the mouth for a long time and can be used as a bacterial culture medium to cause dental caries. If the sugar in the mouth is removed in time by gargling or other methods after eating sugar, it will not cause dental caries.
Vitamin candy is a new category of candy, which contains one or more vitamins. People can supplement their vitamins by eating vitamin candy. Candy, most people have eaten it, but vitamin candy, many people may not have eaten it or even heard of it.
Generally speaking, people can get vitamins normally through food, but modern people often lack vitamins because of work pressure and unbalanced diet. As we all know, the content of vitamins in human body is very small, but it is very important, which directly affects people's immunity. Therefore, people should consciously supplement vitamins, such as eating vitamin candy, which is a more convenient and practical method.
