Confectioners

The USPNF 23 describes confectioner s sugar as a mixture of sucrose (C12H22O11) and corn starch that has been ground to a fine powder it contains not less than 95.0% sucrose.

Confectioner s sugar occurs as odorless powder. a sweet-tasting, fine, white. 

Particle size distribution various grades with different particle sizes are commercially available, e.g., 6X, lOX, and 12X grades of confectioner s sugar from the Domino Sugar Corp. Mean particle size is 14.3 pm.

The boric and sulfuric acids are recycled to a HBF solution by reaction with CaF2. As a strong acid, fluoroboric acid is frequently used as an acid catalyst, eg, in synthesizing mixed polyol esters (29). This process provides an inexpensive route to confectioner s hard-butter compositions which are substitutes for cocoa butter in chocolate candies (see Chocolate and cocoa). Epichlorohydrin is polymerized in the presence of HBF for eventual conversion to polyglycidyl ethers (30) (see Chlorohydrins). A more concentrated solution, 61—71% HBF, catalyzes the addition of CO and water to olefins under pressure to form neo acids (31) (see Carboxylic acids).

Ordinary confectioners sugar (XXXX sugar) was used. This contains 3 per cent of starch but the latter has no harmful effect. 

For purists and/or fetishists, the sidecar has, as every great drink should, a point of honor, to be decided on a personal basis by those who drink it. Does the glass have a sugar rim, swiped with a lemon wedge and dusted with sugar, or is it presented plain (Connoisseurs use confectioners sugar.)...

The density of sugar syrups is used as a method of measuring the quantity of sugar present. Very accurate measurements of density are possible with the best equipment confectioners often use simple hygrometers. The available data give very accurate information relating density to sugar concentration. 

During each production run, the blending equipment is available for a maximum of 14 machine hours, the cooking equipment for at most 40 machine hours, and the packaging equipment for at most 15 machine hours. If each machine can be allocated to the making of either type of candy at all times that it is available for production, determine how many boxes of each kind of candy the confectioner should make to realize the maximum profit. Use a graphical technique for the two variables. 

Hesse would find Frankel s ideas persuasive, they were far from unanimously accepted by pharmacologists (16,17). Hesse s final source was a list of colors, apparently a trade circular, prepared in 1899 by the National Confectioners Association.
