A device for producing fondant and a method for producing fondant are
provided. The device is suitable for the continuous production of fondant
from a saccharide-containing solution, having a temperature above or in
the range of the saturation point, i.e. boiling temperature. The device
is formed from a transport screw having a cooled stator and a cooled
rotor for cooling the saccharide-containing solution and for inducing
crystallization.
