Abstract
A granulated sweetening composition, includes: a poorly soluble polyol with a water solubility of less than 60 g/100 g of solution at 20° C., a hydrogenated dextrin with a molecular weight between 3000 and 5000 daltons, maltitol. A process for preparing such a composition is also disclosed.
Claims9
A granulated sweetening composition in powder form, for the preparation of boiled sweets, comprising:
- a poorly soluble polyol with a water solubility of less than 60 g/100 g of solution at 20° C.;
- from 55% to 70% of a hydrogenated dextrin with a molecular weight between 3000 and 5000 daltons;
- and
- maltitol,
- wherein,
- the poorly soluble polyol is mannitol, and

A process for preparing a granulated sweetening composition in powder form, for the preparation of plain boiled sweets, comprising at least one step of:
- mixing a poorly soluble polyol with a water solubility of less than 60 g/100 g of solution at 20° C., from 55% to 70% weight relative to solids of a hydrogenated dextrin with a molecular weight between 3000 and 5000 daltons, and maltitol;
- and
- drying said mixture according to a technique selected from the group consisting of atomization, extrusion, and granulation,
- wherein the poorly soluble polyol is mannitol, and the mixture comprises, by weight relative to the solids, from 27% to 35% mannitol, from 55% to 70% of a hydrogenated dextrin and 0.5% to 7.5% maltitol.
