Abstract
The present disclosure is drawn to naturally sweet fibrous blends as well as fibrous saccharide blends. The fibrous saccharide blend can include a polysaccharide having an average degree of polymerization by weight ranging from greater than 9 to 14, and an oligosaccharide having an average degree of polymerization by weight ranging from 3 to 9. The fibrous saccharide blend can have a polysaccharide to oligosaccharide weight ratio of 50:50 to 90:10.
Claims49
A fibrous saccharide blend, comprising:
- a polysaccharide having an average degree of polymerization by weight ranging from greater than 9 to 14, and
- an oligosaccharide having an average degree of polymerization by weight ranging from 3 to 9,
- wherein the fibrous saccharide blend has a polysaccharide to oligosaccharide weight ratio of 50:50 to 90:10.
A naturally sweet fibrous blend, comprising:
- a fibrous saccharide blend including both a polysaccharide having an average degree of polymerization by weight ranging from greater than 9 to 14, and an oligosaccharide having an average degree of polymerization by weight ranging from 3 to 9;
- and
- a sweetening additive comprising tagatose, a natural sweetener extract, or both the tagatose and the natural sweetener extract.
A method of sweetening a food product without added sugar, comprising:
- formulating a food product;
- and
- admixing into the food product, as part of formulating, a fibrous saccharide blend including:
- a polysaccharide having an average degree of polymerization by weight ranging from greater than 9 to 14, and
- an oligosaccharide having an average degree of polymerization by weight ranging from 3 to 9.
A naturally sweet fibrous blend, comprising:
- from about 2 wt % to about 40 wt % natural isomalto-oligosaccharide having an average degree of polymerization of 3 to 9 by weight;
- and
- from 10 wt % to 95 wt % by weight of tagatose.
