  • Patent number: 6890582
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing aerated and grained sugar-free boiled sweets comprises the steps consisting of boiling a syrup comprising, relative to the dry mater content, at least 60% by weight of a hydrogenated disaccharide so as to obtain a massecuite; beating the massecuite until cooling below the melting point of the hydrogenated disaccharide is obtained; working the resulting mass and aerating the mass; forming the aerated mass and allowing it to harden so as to obtain an aerated boiled sweet; and carrying out a forced graining in a moist medium so as to obtain an aerated grained sugar-free boiled sweet. Further includes is providing aerated grained sugar-free boiled sweet, wherein the sweetening dry matter content comprises at least 60% by weight of a hydrogenated disaccharide.

  • Patent number: 6458401
    Abstract: The invention concerns a process for the manufacture of a powder containing crystalline particles of maltitol, which includes continuously mixing maltitol syrup having a dry matter content of at least 70% by weight and a maltitol content of at least 85% by weight on a dry matter basis, the mixing being effected by simultaneously dispersing the maltitol syrup and maltitol containing seeds into an open rotating receptacle containing maltitol based granules whereby the maltitol syrup and maltitol containing seeds are mixed at the surface of the maltitol based granules contained in the receptacle, collecting maltitol based granules from the receptacle and crystallizing maltitol contained in said granules, the maltitol based granules in the receptacle being maintained in motion by the rotation of the receptacle.

  • Patent number: 6068705
    Abstract: A process for producing a low DE starch hydrolysate, involves fractionating a starch hydrolysate comprising a DE greater than about 18 using a nanofiltration membrane, having a molecular weight cut-off of less than about 4,000 daltons, under nanofiltration conditions effective to result in a low DE starch hydrolysate comprising a DE of less than about 25. A process for producing a low DE starch hydrolysate blend involves combining the product produced by the process of the present invention with At least one other substance in a predetermined blending ratio to result in a low DE starch hydrolysate blend. A process for hydrogenating a low DE starch hydrolysate produced by the process of the present invention to result in an hydrogenated low DE starch hydrolysate. A process for producing a substantially thermal and shelf-life stable emulsion comprising forming a mixture of the low DE starch hydrolysate of the invention with an effective concentration of at least one ingredient to result in an emulsion.
