Abstract
A sweetener composition containing less than 1 gram of carbohydrates includes a monosaccharide derive polyol such as erythritol, a reduced calorie sweetener such as tagatose, a bulking agent such as polydextrose or maltodextrin and a high intensity, non-nutritive sweetener such as sucralose. The sweetness profile of the sweetener composition may be customized by adjusting the level of high intensity, non-nutritive sweetener included in the compositon.
Claims19
A sweetener composition comprising:
- about 40 to about 70 composition weight percent monosaccharide derived polyol;
- about 5 to about 35 composition weight percent reduced calorie sweetener;
- about 15 to about 45 composition weight percent bulking agent;
- and
- up to about 3 composition weight percent high intensity, non-nutritive sweetener,
- wherein the sweetener composition contains less than 1 gram of carbohydrates.
