  • Stable sugar-based hard candy having high index of whiteness
    Patent number: 7026008
    Abstract: A stable hard-boiled candy prepared with sucrose, hydrogenated starch hydrolysate (HSH) and optionally 42 DE corn syrup. It is a preferred embodiment of the invention that the candy be produced without the use of a vacuum. The candy exhibits good stability characteristics in terms of reduced moisture absorption when exposed to humidity and temperature compared to candies prepared without HSH. Additionally, the candy has a high index of whiteness.
