Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0040101A1] A dietetic chocolate composition sweetened by a bulk sweetener system and a process for making the dietetic composition. The chocolate compositions are sweetened by a bulk sweetening composition which includes 10-90 % by weight of maltitol, 9-89 % by weight of lactitol and 1-30 % by weight of polydextrose. This combination of sweeteners provides a dietetic chocolate product with a surprisingly high degree of sweetness, a significantly reduced glycemic index and reduced caloric content and a taste profile, texture and mouth feel which closely approximates conventional chocolate products. The process of the invention incorporates this bulk sweetening composition into a chocolate product.
