PURPOSE:To provide a filmy diet sweetener having low calorific value, thick taste, and high fashionability, by drying the liquid film of a solution containing a sweetener and pullulan. CONSTITUTION:A proper amount of natural or artificial sweetener (e.g. glycyrrhizin, stevioside, saccharin sodium, etc.) and optionally an additive such as sodium citrate, are added and dissolved in a solution (about 25% concentration) of pullulan (a mucous polysaccharide produced out of the bacterial cell by the cultivation of Pullularia pullulans). The solution is cast on a mirror-smooth plate to a proper thickness, dried with hot air at about 80 deg.C, and cut to desired shape to obtain the objective diet film. The film 10 is e.g. attached to the plastic spoon 12, packed with a pillow package 14 and shipped. |
