摘要:
Disclosed herein is a method of suppressing and masking the grassy smell and acid taste characteristic of vegetables and fruits, thereby making food and drink more palatable, by adding erythritol to food and drink in their production from vegetables and fruits having a strong grassy smell and acid taste. The thus added erythritol also improves the taste of food and drink without adversely affecting the natural taste of vegetables and fruits and without increasing their sweetness. The method comprises adding to food and drink erythritol in an amount of 0.2 to 3.0 wt % of their weight.
摘要:
A saccharide composition with a reduced reducibility which is prepared by hydrogenating a saccharide mixture comprising reducing saccharides and non-reducing saccharides consisting of trehalose and/or saccharides having a trehalose structure. The saccharide composition has a satisfactory sweetness, taste and stability, and is substantially free from reducibility, so that it can be freely used in a variety of compositions such as foods, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals which are susceptible to reduction.

The sugar alcohols mentioned as title compounds can be prepared from the corresponding sugars by catalytic hydrogenation in aqueous solution with hydrogen, the hydrogenation being carded out continuously at a hydrogen pressure of 100 to 400 bar and a reaction temperature of 40.degree. to 80.degree. C. on support-free shaped bodies which are arranged in a fixed bed and are composed of pressed powders of alloys of the elements of the iron sub group of sub group VIII of the Periodic Table of the Elements containing elements of sub group VI. The shaped bodies have a compressive strength of 20 to 250 N and an internal surface area of 10 to 80 m.sup.2 /g.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for the production of a free flowing, compressible granulate which contains from 94% to 98% by weight of xylitol, another physiologically acceptable polyol such as mannitol, maltitol or isomalt and less than 1% by weight of water.

A crystalline lactitol monohydrate having lattice cell constants a =7.815.+-.0.008 .ANG., b=12.682.+-.0.008 .ANG., and c=15.927.+-.0.008 .ANG., and a melting range between 90.degree. and 105.degree. C., and a water content between 4.85 and 5.15%, as well as a process of preparing said crystalline lactitol monohydrate by evaporating the aqueous solution of lactitol to a concentration between 75 and 88% by weight, cooling the resultant mixture at a temperature ranging between 30 and 75.degree. C., subsequently separating the lactitol monohydrate crystals from the mother liquor, and subsequently drying with air having a temperature between 120.degree. C., and a relative humidity between 0 and 40%, for a time period less than 24 hours. The invention also relates to the use of said crystalline lactitol monohydrate as a bulk sweetener for the total or partial replacement of sucrose, in dietetic products, confectionery, bakery products, cereals, desserts, jams, beverages, chocolate, chewing gum and ice-cream, and in pharmaceuticals and cosmetic products, such as tooth paste, as well as a special sweetening agent resembling sucrose, mainly composed of said crystalline lactitol monohydrate.
摘要:
A sweetener supplement compositions which provides a bioavailable source of calcium and are stable from calcium salt precipitation for at least about four hours at temperatures of at least about 85.degree. F. (29.degree. C.). The compositions comprise:a) from about 0.6% to about 7%, by weight, soluble calcium;b) from about 2% to about 47%, by weight, of an edible acid component comprising a mixture of citric acid and malic acid wherein the ratio of citric equivalents and malic equivalents to calcium equivalents is from about 1.5:1 to about 2:1 and the ratio of citric equivalents to malic equivalents is from about 3:97 to about 93:7;c) from about 5% to about 80%, on a dry weight basis, sugar, wherein preferably at least about 15% of said sugar is fructose, on a dry weight basis; andd) from about 5% to about 92%, by weight, water.The present invention also relates to methods of making said sweetener supplements, foods and beverages containing them and to methods of enhancing the solubility and bioavailability of calcium citrate malate.
摘要:
A low calorie composite sweetener in which a sweetener of high sweetness is disposed by way of a non-reducing substance on the periphery of fructose particles. The low calorie composite sweetener is produced by forming a membrane of a non-reducing substance on the surface of fructose particles and depositing a sweetener of high sweetness on the membrane.
摘要:
A chewing gum composition which contains as sweetening agent a mixture of erythritol and a liquid sugar or liquid sugar alcohol other than erythritol e.g. a hydrogenated starch hydrolysate with a DE between 20 and 50, the amount of erythritol in the sweetening agent mixture being more than 60 weight %.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to edible compositions containing a sweetener combination of xylitol and maltitol. This combination exhibits sweetness synergism. It also lacks the undesired burning aftertaste of pure xylitol, has a substantial cooling effect and avoids set-up problems. The compositions range from confections such as chewing gum, chocolate and hard candy to dietetic foods.
