2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in Japan, various harmful effects due to excessive intake of sugars, particularly sugar (for example, increase in dental caries, obesity, and diabetes) have been regarded as problems.
Consumers are becoming more concerned about such problems, and the intake of these sugars tends to be restricted.

For this reason, much effort has been made in the food industry for many years to develop a low-calorie, non-cariogenic, sweet food that does not use sugar. As a result of these efforts, many sweet foods with low calorie and non-cariogenic use of sugar alcohols and synthetic sweeteners (high-intensity sweeteners) have been developed, and many of them are already on the market.

[0004] In such existing low-calorie, non-cariogenic foods, sugar alcohol is often used as a raw material for sweetening sugars, and maltitol, isomaltooligosaccharide reduced products, sorbitol and the like are particularly sweet. It is widely used in various foods due to its excellent degree, taste and low calorie content. In particular, maltitol is used as a liquid table sweetener by adding a small amount of saccharin, etc. because its sweetness and taste quality are very close to that of sugar and the calorie content is low. ..

Under the circumstances described above, erythritol, which is a sugar alcohol of tetracarbon sugar, has recently been commercialized and has become generally available. Because this erythritol is low in calories and non-cariogenic, it can be used in a variety of food products (eg candy, chocolate,
It has been tried to use it for tablet confectionery, etc.). Further, as for the above-mentioned table-top type liquid sweetener, a sweetener composition is proposed in which erythritol and sugar (or sugar alcohol) are blended to improve the taste quality and reduce calories, and can be used for fondant. (For example, JP-A 1-2254
(See No. 58).

However, the sweetener composition disclosed in JP-A-1-225458 achieves improvement in taste quality and reduction in calories, but the proportion of erythritol incorporated in the composition is low. Then, the homogeneity of the fine crystals dispersed in the composition is lost, and when the solid content concentration becomes 75% by weight or less (that is, when the water content is 25% by weight or more), the liquid composition becomes a transparent sugar solution. There is a drawback that the layer of (3) and the layer containing microcrystals are separated to cause precipitation, so that a fondant-like uniform fluid composition cannot be obtained.
