Liquid maltitol composition (I) with a solids content of 70-85 wt.% comprises (% dry weight basis): (a) maltitol (94-98); (b) sorbitol (0.2-3); (c) maltotriitol (0.1-3); and (d) at least one trisaccharide (DP3) polyol selected from panitol, isomaltotriitol and isopanitol in an amount such that the maltotriitol content is less than 10% of the total DP3 polyol content. Independent claims are also included for: (1) production of (I) by preparing a syrup with a maltitol content of 94-98 wt.% (dry basis), adding sorbitol and DP3 polyols in the indicated amounts above and adjusting the solids content; (2) production of confectionery products in which the addition of a filler in the form of maltitol powder is at least partially replaced by the addition of (I) or the addition of a filler by dissolving maltitol powder in water is at least partially replaced by the addition of (I); (3) confectionery products produced as above; (4) production of a chewing gum comprising preparing gum base (5-95 %), malitol powder (1-95 %) with maltitol syrup (0.5-50 %) and sorbitol syrup (0-50%), glycerol (0-30 %), flavor (0.1-10 %) and intense sweetener (0.001-1 %), and mixing them together with the sorbitol and glycerol last; and (5) production of a hard sugar coating on a product by application of a coating syrup comprising maltitol and binder in which all or part of the coating syrup or binder is replaced by (I). |
