Abstract
A method of producing a chewy confectionery involves high or low shear mixing with no cooking to produce a mass which is well hydrated and yet has no phase separation of moisture. A bioaffecting agent included in the confectionery is effectively taste-masked, even one that is typically organoleptically unpalatable.
