Abstract
This invention relates to a method of incorporating a gas in a candy glass. The incorporation or mixing of the gas takes place in a vessel containing hot candy (sugar) melt under superatmospheric pressure. The melt is stirred within the vessel using a rotatably mounted shaft with paddle blades attached to it and is mounted on the vertical axis of the vessel. Said shaft has a hollow interior with sidewall openings at each end. The level of the melt in the vessel envelops the paddle blades and the lower opening of said shaft. Thus, when the gas is introduced at the top of the vessel, it enters the shaft at the top opening and exits at the bottom opening and is dispersed within the melt by the rotating paddle blades.
