PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject readily handleable, low-caloric and low-carious composition, hardly causing action of a cold sense and applicable to an oily confectionery, a wheat flour product or the like by including a sugaralcohol and a natural dietary fiber therein. SOLUTION: This composition is obtained by including (A) a sugaralcohol (preferably erythritol or xylitol) and (B) a natural dietary fiber (preferably a water-soluble dietary fiber, e.g. a water-soluble vegetable fiber derived from starch or a water-soluble corn fiber, extracted from a corn seed and containing thickening polysaccharides). The ratio of the ingredients A to B is preferably (2/3) to (2/1) expressed in terms of weight ratio and the content of the ingredient A is preferably 40-80 wt.%. The composition can be used by adding, as necessary, a high-sweetness sweetener (preferably aspartame or stevia) in an amount of 0.32-0.01 wt.% thereto. When the high-sweetness sweetener is used in combination, the composition has advantages in that the weighing is readily carried out because the sweetness ratio is low. |
