Abstract
The invention relates to a low calorie, palatable table sugar substitute composition containing a water insoluble bulking agent and a high intensity sweetener, where the water insoluble bulking agent and high intensity sweetener are present in a proportion such that, on a volume:volume basis the table sugar substitute provides approximately the same sweetness as sucrose.
Claims27
A solid, low calorie, palatable sugar substitute composition comprising:
- a) a water insoluble bulking agent;
- and
- b) a high intensity sweetener,
- wherein the weight ratio of high intensity sweetener to water insoluble bulking agent is about 4:1 to about 1:6000.
A solid, low calorie, palatable sugar substitute composition consisting essentially of a table sugar substitute of sucralose and a water insoluble bulking agent of amylose and/or amylose pectin, wherein the bulk density of the table sugar substitute is from about 0.1 g/mL to about 0.8 g/mL.
A solid, low calorie, palatable sugar substitute composition comprising:
- a) a bulking agent portion comprising a water insoluble bulking agent and a water soluble bulking agent;
- and
- b) a high intensity sweetener;
- wherein the weight ratio of high intensity sweetener to water insoluble bulking agent is about 4:1 to about 1:6000.
A solid, low calorie, palatable sugar substitute composition consisting essentially of a table sugar substitute of sucralose, a water soluble bulking agent, and a water insoluble bulking agent of amylose and/or amylose pectin, wherein the bulk density of the table sugar substitute is from about 0.1 g/mL to about 0.8 g/mL.
A solid, low calorie, palatable sugar substitute composition comprising:
- a) a bulking agent portion comprising a water insoluble bulking agent and a water insoluble bulking agent, said water insoluble bulking agent is selected from the group consisting of celluloses;
- water insoluble fractions of starches, resistant starches, and modified versions thereof;
- water insoluble portions of amylose;
- water insoluble portions of amylose pectin;
- and derivatives and mixtures thereof, and said water soluble bulking agent is selected from the group consisting of maltodextrin, maltodextrin, polyols, polydextrose, oligosaccharides, and mixtures thereof;
- and
- b) a high intensity sweetener;
- wherein the weight ratio of high intensity sweetener to water insoluble bulking agent is about 4:1 to about 1:6000, and the bulking agent portion is comprised of, based upon the total weight of the bulking agent portion, from greater than about 25 percent of the water insoluble bulking agent.
