PURPOSE:To provide a new soft candy containing a sugar alcohol mixture containing erythritol, giving taste and palatability comparable to those attained by a candy containing sucrose, free from stickiness to the tooth and having further decreased calorific value and antigenicity compared with conventional candy. CONSTITUTION:This soft candy contains a sugar alcohol mixture containing erythritol. It is produced usually by mixing and dissolving a sugar alcohol in water, adding hardened vegetable oil, an emulsifier, etc., to the solution, homogenizing the mixture, slowly precipitating crystals while kneading with a kneader, etc., at 60-80 deg.C and using the precipitated crystal as a candy base. The amount of erythritol is preferably 15-50wt.% based on the total weight of the sugar alcohol mixture. The sugar alcohol other than erythritol is e.g. xylitol and sorbitol. |
