Abstract
The subject of the invention is a hypocariogenic hydrogenated starch hydrolysate. This hydrolysate is characterized in that it has a concentration of 0.1 to 19% by weight of sorbitol, a concentration of 35 to 87% by weight of maltitol, a concentration of 1 to 17% by weight of polysaccharides which are not hydrolysed by amyloglucosidase in an F test, the balance for 100% consisting of hydrogenated oligo- or polysaccharides. This hydrolysate can be used as sweetening agent or as texturing agent in products intended to be ingested by humans or animals, especially in sweets and chewing gums as well as in syrups and food or pharmaceutical elixirs.
Claims27
A hypocariogenic hydrogenated hydrolyzate produced by an enzymatic hydrolysis with at least the action of beta-amylase of a mixture containing at least a dextrin or polyglucose, said polyglucose predominantly consisting of 1-6 bonds, obtained by condensation or rearrangement of glucose or one or more other sugars, followed by hydrogenation of the resulting hydrolyzate, said hydrogenated hydrolyzate comprising, the concentrations being expressed by weight relative to the dry matter of the hydrolyzate,
- 0.1 to 19% of sorbitol,
- 35 to 87% of maltitol,
- 1 to 17% by weight of polysaccharides which are not hydrolyzed by amyloglucosidase in an F test,
- the balance for 100% consisting of hydrogenated oligo- or polysaccharides.
