FIELD: food industry.SUBSTANCE: invention is related to food industry and confectionary branch and may be used in candy production. A composition for the production of candy caramel containing a sweetener, molasses, citric acid, drinking water and an additive from vegetable raw materials is proposed, with the additive used as the additive powder from the pericarp of the Manchurian nut in the amount of 0.01–0.05 kg / 100 kg of the finished product, for the preparation of which the pericarp of the Manchurian nut is pulverized to a particle size of 0.2–0.5 mm, sonication frequency of 39.6–48.4 kHz for 30 minutes, and water is used as the extractant with a 1:5 hydraulic module, the filtrate is separated and subjected to its freeze-drying to a solids content of 90–94 %, the product obtained is ground to a powdery state. Content of the components is in kg / 100 kg of the finished product: sweetener 54.7–56.9 molasses 20.1–24.5 water 25.1–27.2 citric acid 0.02–0.05 powder of the pericarp of the Manchurian nut is 0.01–0.05. For the preparation of the additive, the pericarp of the Manchurian nut of milk stage of maturity. As a sweetener sugar or fructose is used.EFFECT: invention provides fully natural composition of the candy caramel with high organoleptic characteristics, as well as reducing the labor intensity of its preparation, increasing the shelf life and increasing biological value due to the content of biologically active substances.5 cl, 5 tblИзобретение относится к пищевой промышленности, к кондитерской отрасли и может быть использовано при производстве карамели.
