a product, which is similar to milk chocolates.

or fully) by the vegetable protein isolate or edible
quality, soya or groundnut flour. This chewy candy
is nutritious and contains about 12-16% protein.
It can be a good protein supplement source especially
for children and the aged. The protein chewy candy
has the market potential, as in the case of hard
boiled sugar candies, chocolates and other confectioneries.
The protein chewy candy manufacturing units can
be established in selected rural areas. The raw
material required are edible quality solvent extracted
flour of soya or groundnut or protein isolate, liquid
glucose, condensed milk, vanaspati, flour and permitted
colours and packaging materials.
CFTRI has developed a process for the production
of protein chewy candy. The process consists of
mixing of ingredients with sugar syrup and cooking.
The cooked mass is then subjected to operations
like plating, rolling, cutting, wrapping and final
packing.
The equipments needed are
firewood chula, SS vessels, wooden stirrer, stainless
steel roller, candy cutter, twist wrapping machine,
cooling table with water circulation, weighing
