NON-CARIOGENIC HYDROGENATED STARCH HYDROLYSATE PROCESS FOR ITS PREPARATION AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to a non-cariogenic hydrogenated starch for confectionery and process for preparing this hydrolysate. This hydrogenated starch hydrolysate comprises a content of polyols of DP higher than 20 which is sufficiently low for the cariogenic character of these polyols not to be troublesome and a content of low molecular weight products, which is sufficiently low for their presence not to interfere with the applicability of said hydrolysates in confectionery. The hydrogenated starch hydrolysate can be used in the manufacture of "hard candies" and chewing gums.
