Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
56 words
A confection as in claim 1 in which the partially delactosed and partially demineralized whey has an ash content of about 0.9 to 6.5 percent, the amount of the whey being about 25 to 45 percent of the sugar content, the amount of soluble caseinate ranging from about 15 to 30 percent of the sugar content.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
133 words
A method for the manufacture of a confection or candy comprising cooking a mix of ingredients including mainly sugar together with a soluble caseinate, partially demineralized and partially delactosed whey, fat, and water, the caseinate comprising at least about 15 percent of the sugar content and the whey comprising at least about 25 percent of the sugar content, the sugar comprising at least about 45 percent of the confection, the cooking being on a gradually increasing temperature gradient corresponding with the increasing boiling point of the mix as the mix becomes more concentrated, the cookout temperature being of the order of 227* to 235* F, then cooling the mix from the cookout temperature, forming the mix into masses of the desired size and form, and then cooling the masses to solidify the same.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
A method as in claim 3 in which the partially delactosed and partially demineralized whey is in an amount ranging from about 24 to 45 percent of the sugar content, and in which the soluble caseinate is in an amount corresponding to about 15 to 30 percent of the sugar content.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
A method as in claim 3 in which a part of the demineralized whey is added to the mix before cooking and the remaining part added to the mix after cooking.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A method as in claim 3 in which some of the partially delactosed demineralized whey is introduced into the mix before cooking, and the remaining part introduced into the mix after cooking.
