Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sweetener composition
  • a sweetener composition comprising a granular starch component and a sugar/sugar alcohol system consisting of a non-crystalline phase and a crystalline phase, the non-crystalline phase containing at least one oligosaccharide-containing syrup, in particular glucose syrup, oligofructose syrup or a mixture thereof Mannitol and sucrose and the crystalline phase has sucrose and mannitol, a process for their production, the use of the sweetener composition as a fondant, and in particular piece articles such as dimensionally stable fondant eggs, icings, coatings, creams or fillings for baked goods or confectionery, in particular chocolate bars, pralines and chocolate bars , and baked goods that are completely or partially coated with the sweetener composition according to the invention and / or contain it.
  • fondants are soft or hard pasty sweetener compositions, in particular sugar masses, which are used either for the production of various confectionery, as a filling or as a glaze for food and beverages.
  • sucrose, glucose syrup, invert sugar cream and water are used to make a fondant.
  • the mass is boiled and then made into a paste by vigorous tabletting and rapid cooling.
  • Other ingredients such as syrups, fats, thickeners, emulsifiers, flavorings or coloring agents can then be added to the fondant to make the fondant ready for use.
  • a mixture of sugar, glucose syrup and water is made.
  • the desired dry substance content is set in the cooking apparatus.
  • JP 8089175 A and EP 2 654 445 A1 disclose various processes for producing fondants, in which crystalline starting materials, for example isomaltulose or isomaltulose and trehalose, are mixed with sugar, sugar alcohol solutions or sugar syrup, for example glucose solution or glucose syrup. It is generally accepted that the sweetening power of food elements plays a very important role in the palatability of the food. food or beverages a high sugar content, i.e. above all a high sucrose content, are therefore particularly preferred by consumers due to their high sweetening power. However, sucrose is highly glycemic and promotes dental caries.
  • a high content of high-glycemic carbohydrates is known to lead to a rapid rise in blood sugar levels. This can lead to health problems such as obesity, insulin resistance or diabetes. Attempts are therefore increasingly being made to reduce the sucrose content in foodstuffs or semi-luxury foods. This can be accomplished with trehalose using sugar substitutes as described in EP 11 801 603 A. However, many sugar substitutes do not have the sweetening power of, for example, sucrose. Intensive sweeteners are therefore often used, if necessary additionally. The problem with intensive sweeteners is that many are not thermally stable or have a different flavor profile than sucrose, for example a bitter or astringent aftertaste.
  • the technical problem underlying the present invention is therefore in particular to overcome the aforementioned disadvantages, in particular a sucrose-reduced sweetener composition, in particular fondant, with a conventional sucrose-containing sweetener composition, in particular fondant, corresponding color, organoleptics, texture, in particular short To provide texture, sweetness sensation, appearance and taste, which is particularly suitable for use as a glossy transparent food coating or as a filling, and a process for the production thereof.
  • a sweetener composition comprising a granular starch component and a sugar/sugar alcohol system consisting of a crystalline phase and a non-crystalline phase, the crystalline phase being sucrose and mannitol and the non- kri talline phase sucrose, mannitol and at least one oligosaccharide-containing syrup, in particular glucose syrup, oligofructose syrup or a mixture.
  • the sweetener composition according to the invention has a sugar/sugar alcohol system, this sugar/sugar alcohol system being built up from a crystalline and a non-crystalline phase, in particular consisting of them.
  • this sugar/sugar alcohol system comprising a crystalline and a non-crystalline phase
  • a granular starch component is present in the sweetener composition, which is spatially integrated into the crystalline and/or non-crystalline phases of the sugar/sugar alcohol system as a separate and thus third phase is, however, not a constituent part of these two phases, but represents a separate phase, in particular an amorphous phase.
  • the sweetener composition has a granular starch component, in particular native starch.
  • the granular starch component of the sweetener composition according to the invention comprises starch granules, in particular consists of them.
  • the granular starch component of the sweetener composition according to the invention is in native form.
  • the granular starch component is an unmodified granular starch component.
  • the granular starch component is a modified granular starch component, in particular chemically or physically modified starch.
  • the sweetener composition has a two-phase sugar/sugar alcohol system, one phase being a crystalline phase and another phase being a non-crystalline phase.
  • the crystalline phase contains sucrose and mannitol, in particular that the crystalline phase consists of these two components, ie sucrose and mannitol are present in the sweetener composition in crystalline form.
  • the non-crystalline phase has sucrose, mannitol and at least one oligosaccharide-containing syrup, in particular glucose syrup, oligofructose syrup or a mixture thereof, in particular consists of these.
  • the oligosaccharide-containing syrup is glucose syrup, oligofructose syrup, or a mixture thereof.
  • the oligosaccharide-containing syrup is glucose syrup.
  • the oligosaccharide-containing syrup is a mixture of glucose syrup and oligofructose syrup.
  • the present invention accordingly provides a sweetener composition which has a granular starch component on the one hand and a sugar/sugar alcohol system on the other hand, the sugar/sugar alcohol system having a crystalline phase and a non-crystalline phase, in particular consisting of these two phases.
  • the crystalline and the non-crystalline phase are characterized in particular by the fact that both contain both mannitol and sucrose.
  • the sugar/sugar alcohol system provided in the sweetener composition according to the invention is therefore characterized by the simultaneous presence of the sugar sucrose and the sugar alcohol mannitol, each in the form of a crystalline and a non-crystalline phase.
  • sucrose and mannitol in both the crystalline and the non-crystalline phase of a sweetener composition, which also has a granular starch component, results in this sweetener composition compared to a conventional sucrose containing sweetener composition, in particular one that is usually used for the production of fondants or as a dimensionally stable fondant, causes a comparable color, a comparable organoleptic properties, a comparable texture, in particular a short texture, a comparable sweetness sensation, a comparable appearance and a comparable taste, but at the same time has a significantly reduced sucrose content and a reduction in energy.
  • the mannitol provided in the sweetener composition both in the crystalline and in the non-crystalline phase appears to be an advantageous composition of the crystalline and to bring about non-crystalline phase, despite an optionally significantly reduced sucrose content of a higher sucrose content having conventional sucrose-containing Sweetener composition is at least the same in terms of color, organoleptic properties, texture, in particular short texture, sweetness sensation, appearance and taste.
  • the granular starch component is an advantageous substance for reducing the proportion of sucrose in the sweetener composition.
  • the granular starch component replaces part of the dry substance without causing any change in color or taste.
  • the granular starch component provides a short texture to the sweetener composition.
  • the granular starch component of the sweetener composition according to the invention can preferably contribute to the short texture of the sweetener composition according to the invention, which is comparable to a short texture of conventional sucrose-containing sweetener compositions.

Even when the sweetener composition is used at 40 to 50° C., for example on hot baked goods, rapid drying of the glaze on the baked goods is ensured. Furthermore, the storage stability of the sweetener composition according to the invention, in particular of the fondant, is significantly increased and the hygroscopicity is low.
  • a coating of a sweetener composition according to the invention, in particular fondant absorbs little or no water from the interior of the coated product and the ambient air.
