摘要:
A composition containing at least one polyol and certain amounts of inulin relative to the at least one polyol, characterized by a reduced tendency of the at least one polyol to induce acute diarrhea. The at least one polyol may be, for example: xylitol, sorbitol, maltitol, mannitol, isomalt, isomaltitol, lactitol, hydrogenated starch hydrolysates (HSH), glycerol, propylene glycol, erythritol, galactitol and combinations thereof. The composition also contains inulin in amounts sufficient to at least partially reduce, or eliminate, the tendency of the polyol to induce acute diarrhea. Foodstuffs, including drinks and beverages, contain said compositions.
摘要:
Inulin powders in which at least a majority of the inulin is in the form of small particles having dimension less than about 30 micrometers in their largest dimension. Inulin powders that have greater solubility than corresponding non-powdered inulin. Powdered sweeteners containing inulin with sucralose in which the sucralose has improved thermal stability and the powders have increased solubility in water. The compositions can be prepared by forming a solution of the inulin, or sucralose and inulin, in water which is then spray-dried with an atomizing nozzle, projecting a fine spray into an air stream at elevated temperatures in a chamber under a partial vacuum. Other ingredients, such as other high intensity sweeteners, natural sweeteners, non-fat dry milk, lactose, polyols, extracts, and flavorings may be included in the powder.
摘要:
Crystallization of glucose in compositions such as high fructose corn syrup or honey is reduced by adding as little as 0.25% by weight of inulin. The addition of inulin to honey reduces stickiness and increases the viscosity to allow the sweetener composition to retain its shape when molded. A honey and inulin composition can be added to chocolate without separation. A honey and inulin composition can be mixed with powdered milk without separation.
摘要:
Sweetener compositions containing granulated artificial and/or intense sweeteners, and water-soluble/water miscible fractions of inulin. The water soluble/water miscible fractions of inulin comprise polysaccharides in which at least 5 grams of said fractions are soluble in 100 ml. of water at temperatures of about 25° C., and below.
摘要:
Small particles and fines included along with larger subdivided solids are treated with liquid to extract soluble solids therein in an apparatus and process using milli-screens with milli-sized openings of less than about 0.095 inches across. The milli-screen openings may be kept open for the passage of liquids with specially-designed wipers and/or back-flushing from a liquid compartment and/or rotation of the milli-screen past the matrix of subdivided solids, the subdivided solids themselves acting as a screen cleaner. The invention is useful in batch or continuous diffusers for extracting soluble solids from subdivided solids containing small particles and fines.
