BULKING AGENT

摘要

A bulking agent comprised of cellobiitol is disclosed that, when combined with a high potency sweetening agent, possesses the physical structure, texture, moisture retention and density of sucrose in formulated foods without the high caloric content. The cellobiitol bulking agent is produced by a process that results in a substantially pure crystalline compound that is freely flowing, without objectionable flavors and does not require extensive purification or isolation.
