Detailed Description of the Invention

The invention relates to herbal, ready to use decorative cold pastry gel used in pastries, cakes, fruit salads, desserts in the food sector as decoration, covering and taste enhancer, and method for production thereof.

The said cold pastry gel consists of water, protective agent, acidity regulatory agent, thickening enhancer agent, sweetening agent, aroma and coloring agent. Table 1 below shows the contents of ready to use decorative cold pastry gel in weight rates.

Table.1. Ingredients of Herbal, Ready to Use Decorative Cold Pastry Gel in weight rates Ingredient Weight rate (%)

Water 18-25

Protective agent 0,05-0,1

Acidity regulatory agent 0,3-0,7

Thickening enhancer agent 0,4-3

Sweetening agent 55-80

Aroma 0,5-1 ,0

Coloring agent 0,015-0,05

Under the scope of the invention, potassium sodium and/or sodium benzoate is used as protective agent and glucose syrup is used as sodium alginate and/or carragenane as sweetening agent.

As aroma, a member selected from the group consisting of orange, lemon, mandarin, grapefruit, raspberry, strawberry, kiwi, mango, melon, pineapple, black berry, apricot, peach, grape, cherry, sour cherry, pomegranate, cranberry, quince, pear, walnut, apple, plum, redcurrant, rose, blueberry, chestnut, coconut, chocolate, vanilla, cream, almond, pistachio, coffee, cacao, caramel, carnation, milk, milk caramel and sahlep aromas or an aroma in combination thereof is used. As coloring agent, a member selected from the group consisting of riboflavin, chlorophyll, caramel, vegetable carbon, carotenes, paprika extract, betanine, antocianine, calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, Ferro oxide and hydroxide, curcumine, tartrazine, cynolyne yellow, sunset yellow, carmine, carmoisine, ponso 4 R, Allura Red AC, Patent Blue, indigotine, Brilliant Blue, Green S, Black PN, Brow HT, lyopene and luteine or a coloring agent in combination thereof is used.

While preparing the cold pastry gel of the invention, firstly, the water is heated to a temperature from 8O 0 C to 9O 0 C. Then potassium sorbate and/or sodium benzoate is added into the hot water as protective agent respectively ad mixed for 2 minutes to 2,5 minutes. Then, as acidity regulatory agent, citric acid and trisoium citrate is added and mixed for 2 to 2,5 minutes. Coloring agent is added into the mixture and mixed for 1 to 2 minutes. Lifter adding coloring agent, the carragenane and sodium alginate are added respectively as thickening enhancer agent and mixed for 3 to 5 minutes. Sweetening glucose syrup is added to the obtained mixture and is mixed for 15 minutes, and the mixture is heated up to 85 0 C to 92 0 C. Finally, aroma is added and mixed for 5 minutes and filled at a temperature ranging from 88 0 C to 89 0 C.

The scope of protection of the invention has been specified in the claims and it cannot be limited to the representative applications provided above only for demonstrative purposes. It is obvious that any person skilled in the related art can suggest the invention by use of the similar applications and/or can apply this application to other similar fields in the related art.
