Abstract
The subject of the invention is the use, as agent capable of controlling propagation of crystallization of maltitol present in a confectionery, of molecules having a molecular weight greater than 1,300. This use applies in particular to the preparation of boiled sugars and semicrystallized items. The invention also relates to the use, in confectionery, of a sweetening syrup crystallizable to maltitol, having a bimodal composition spectrum and comprising more than 3% of an agent for controlling propagation of crystallization of maltitol having a molecular weight greater than 1,300.
Claims16
In a process of manufacturing a maltitol based confectionery, the improvement comprising adding an agent for controlling propagation of crystallization of maltitol, said agent consisting of molecules having a molecular weight greater than about 1,300 daltons, said molecules being selected from the group consisting of:
- linear or branched hydrogenated polysaccharides obtained from native or modified starch,
- non hydrogenated or hydrogenated polysaccharides obtained from hydrolysis of dextrin,
- non hydrogenated polyglucoses or hydrogenated polyglucoses.
In a process of manufacturing a maltitol based confectionery, the improvement comprising adding a crystallizable maltitol composition having a bimodal composition spectrum and having, expressed on a dry matter basis, more than 3% of molecules having a molecular weight greater than about 1,300 daltons, said molecules being selected from the group consisting of:
- linear or blanched hydrogenated polysaccharides obtained from native or modified starch,
- non hydrogenated or hydrogenated polysaccharides obtained from hydrolysis of dextrin,
- non hydrogenated polyglucoses or hydrogenated polyglucoses.
