Abstract
Non-cariogenic sugar composition comprising 2 to 10 ppm fluoride, and preferably 50 to 400 mg/100 g each of calcium ion and phosphate (calculated as P) and 5 to 50 mg/100 g magnesium. The composition is made by blending a composition deficient in fluoride ion with a composition superabundant in fluoride ion, preferably obtained by selection of a superabundant fluoride ion containing fraction of cane sugar containing molasses, such as raw cane sugar, molasses, affination syrup, dried solids of molasses or of affination syrup or a blend thereof with refined sugar, or by evaporation of a mineral water to obtain a concentrate.

Method of making a sugar composition having a content of fluoride ion in the range about 2 to about 10 ppm comprising blending a molasses-containing fraction of cane sugar that is naturally superabundant in fluoride ion as compared with said content with a starting material sugar composition. naturally deficient in fluoride ion as compared with said content to obtain a blend having said content.
Sugar confectionery comprising about 2 to about 5 ppm fluoride ion made by cooking an aqueous solution comprising crystallizable sugar, and liquid crystallization-regarding sugar, to a solids content of from about 75% to about 99%, and cooling the cooked solution to obtain said confectionery material wherein at least one of said crystallizable sugar and said liquid crystallization-regarding sugar has a fluoride ion content in the range about 2 to about 10 ppm and is made by blending a molasses-containing fraction of cane sugar that is naturally superabundant in fluoride ion as compared with said fluoride ion content with a starting material sugar composition naturally deficient in fluoride ion as compared with said fluoride ion content, to obtain a blend having said fluoride ion content in the range about 2 to about 10 ppm.
Sugar composition having a content of fluoride ion in the range about 2 to about 10 ppm, made by blending a molasses-containing fraction of cane sugar that is naturally superabundant in fluoride ion as compared with said content with a starting material sugar composition naturally deficient in fluoride ion as compared with said content to obtain a blend having said content.
