Abstract
The present invention provides food grade sugar particles comprising sucrose crystals, reducing sugars and polyphenols, wherein the sugar composition comprises about 0 to 0.15 g/100 g reducing sugars and about 20 mg/100 g to about 45 mg/100 g polyphenols and the sugar particles have a glucose based glycaemic index of less than 55.
Claims22
Food grade sugar particles comprising sucrose crystals, reducing sugars and polyphenols, wherein the sugar particles comprise about 0 to about 0.5 g/100 g reducing sugars;
- and
- about 20 mg/100 g to about 45 mg/100 g polyphenols;
- and
- wherein the sugar particles have a glucose based glycaemic index of less than 55.
A method for preparing sugar particles comprising washing massecuite to produce sugar particles, wherein the massecuite includes sucrose crystals, polyphenols and reducing sugars, wherein the wash removes an amount of polyphenols and an amount of reducing sugars from the massecuite, wherein the sugar particles comprise about 0 to 0.5 g/100 g reducing sugars and about 20 mg/100 g to about 45 mg/100 g polyphenols and wherein the sugar particles have a glucose based glycaemic index of less than 55.
