Boiled sweets comprise, w.r.t. dry matter, less than 35% saccharose and more than 65% carbohydrates other than saccharose, and have a water content of > 4% and glass transition temp. of at least 38 degrees C, measured at 4.5% water content. Also claimed is the above prod. where the glass transition temp. is measured at the effective water content. Also claimed is the prepn. of stable boiled sweets comprising: (i) the prepn. of a syrup contg. less than 35% saccharose and more than 65% carbohydrates other than saccharose, such that it confers a 38 degrees C glass transition temp. (measured at 4.5% water content) to the sweets; and (ii) boiling the sugar to facilitate vitrification of the resulting cooked mass which contains more than 4 % water. The boiled sweets contain more than 4.2 (pref. more than 4.8) % water and have a glass transition temp. of at least 40 (pref. at least 45) degrees C. The carbohydrates other than saccharose are opt. hydrogenated poorly digestible oligosaccharides or polysaccharides, and/or glucose syrups with a DE (Dextrose Equivalent) of at least 44, contg. less than 10% monosaccharides, pref. contg. 45-75 (48-52) % maltose. |
