Abstract

A chewy candy analogue that is compatible with ice confectionery products, particularly in terms of the process, storage and consumption conditions of ice confectionery products, is manufactured to provide specific properties in respect of fluid rheology, heat conduction, insulation characteristics, setting rate and plastic deformation characteristic when processed in conjunction with regular ice confection products.
