Abstract

The 0.1-20 wt.% of aspantam (APM) is added to a mixture of sugar and water and suspended with homogenizer. A suspension solution of APM is sprayed with 5-10 g/min on 970g of sugar sieved by 30-70 mesh and wet sugar is dried for 20-30 min. at 80 deg.C in fluidized coating drier. For elevating safty, 1-50 wt.% of mixture of sugar and water is twice coated on a dried sugar and dried for 15-30 min. at 65-75 deg.C in fluidized drier. The sugar treated with APM has 2-3 times sweetness when compared with a existing sugar.

Description

Process for preparing low calorie sweetness composition

The present invention is to use a low-calorie sweetener such as aspartame (α-L-aspartame-L-phenylaranine methyl ester, hereinafter abbreviated as APM) on the sugar or crystalline sugar particles to use the existing sugar and low-calorie sweetener alone. It relates to a method for producing a low-calorie sweetener composition with improved sweetness and physical properties.

Sweeteners may be divided into natural sweeteners such as sugar, fructose, glucose, glycyrrhicin, stevioside, and taumate, and artificial sweeteners such as sorbitol, aspartame, saccharin, acesulfame K, and aliterme. Stevioside, a natural low-calorie sweetener, is a natural substance contained in a perennial plant called Stevia rebaudiana BERTONI, a native to South America. It is similar, but the sweetness of the solution is slightly slower than the sugar water and the bitterness of the bitter taste. Glycyrrhicin is a sweetener of legume licorice root and is a natural sweetener that exhibits a sweetness of about 100 to 170 times that of sugar.

Among the artificial sweeteners, APM is a sweetener made by synthesizing aspartic acid and phenylalanine.It is widely used as a sugar substitute sweetener in 40 countries around the world. It has been approved.

Acesulfame K is also used as a non-toxic sweetener that prevents tooth decay and is effective as an anti-tartar and has a sweetness of 150-200 times that of sugar.

Today, sweeteners occupy a great deal of weight, not only in terms of food taste and palatability, but also in terms of properties and nutrition of products made from raw ingredients.

The present invention is a sweetness of natural sweeteners and high sweetness, namely APM, stevioside, glycidine, saccharin, acesulfam K by mixing one or two kinds of 0.5-20% by weight to reduce the sugar The present invention relates to a low-calorie sweetener composition that has excellent sweetness and sweetness and lowers calories while being used.

Sugar in itself has good sweetness and solubility, but ingesting a large amount may cause obesity or diabetes. In addition, APM, steviosides, glycyrrhicin, and acesulfame K have high sweetness and low calories, but sweetness is not as good as sugar.

Looking at the conventional technology regarding the sweet composition is as follows. According to the manufacturing method of a low-calorie sweetening composition (Japan, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-11-1354), a sweetening composition containing 1-50% by weight of APM is granulated. It is assembled in the form of unnatural appearance and artificial feeling and stability of APM is a problem. That is, it is a sweet composition in an unstable state in which APM may be separated or decomposed by chemical reaction between components in the long term storage or transportation of the product.

Therefore, the present inventors pay attention to this point, sweetness that can be maintained physically and chemically stable by coating one or two kinds of APM stevioside, glycine, saccharin, acesulfame K on sugar original particles. To invent the composition.

In addition, the present invention complements the shortcomings of the sweetness of the high sweeteners and at the same time greatly increases the sweetness of the low-calorie sweeteners, as well as the production process is simpler than the production process based on the assembly, the production equipment is simple and the productivity is high.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

The high sweetener used in the present invention is APM or another kind of high sweetener.

In addition, commercially available white sugar may be used for sugar, but since the distribution of particles is variously distributed over 20 mesh, it is preferable to use between 20 and 70 mesh in order to improve product uniformity. In addition, since APM has low solubility, it is difficult to properly coat the sugar with a solution or suspension alone. Therefore, in order to increase the adhesion and obtain a uniform product, APM or stevioside, glycyricin, saccharin, or acesulfame K may be used in a sugar solution. The two species were mixed, dissolved or dispersed to facilitate coating. In order to improve stability, one or two mixtures or suspensions of APM or stevioside, glycyrrhicin, saccharin, and acesulfame K are coated on sugar, and then the sugar solution is coated again if necessary to provide physical impact and external effects. Improved environmental stability. And since it is coated with sugar crystals as it is, it maintains a very similar appearance to sugar, so it does not dissolve in water, and when sprinkled on or eaten with fruit, it has the advantage of feeling high sweetness and taste similar to that of sugar. .

The mixing ratio of one or two of APM or stevioside, glycyrrhicin, saccharin, acesulfame K to sugar is 0.1-20% by weight and more preferably 0.5-5% by weight. This is because the solubility decreases gradually and the mixing sweetness becomes stronger when the composition ratio alone or in the mixing ratio is 5% by weight or more, and the sweetening tends to be somewhat lower than that of the sugar.

Content analysis, solubility, and sensory properties of the present invention are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below.

As shown in Table 1, in the case of 1% coating, the coating was uniform, and all four showed good results.

TABLE 2 Solubility * and sensory properties

* Solubility was measured by dissolving water in a 100 ml beaker with 1 g of sample while stirring water at 150 rpm using a magnetic stirrer.

The present invention is a low-calorie sweet composition containing one or two of APM or stevioside, glycyrrhicin, saccharin, acesulfame K, and one or more of APM or stevioside, glycyricin, acesulfame K in sugar. It is a technique that mixes two kinds and forms a solution or suspension together with some sugars and coats the remaining sugars and re-coats them with sugar solution to further improve stability. It is also very important to dry to a temperature below 120 ° C. in order to prevent the production of Dketopiperazine (DKP), an intermediate of some remaining APM. The low-calorie composition thus prepared is a product that can be used not only as a table sugar substitute, but also as a substitute for processed cereal products, gum, tea, ice cream, ice cream, jam, liquor, powdered soup, fermented milk and special nutritional food.
