Embodiment 1-9

[0069] Example 1-9 - Ice Cream

[0070] Ice cream according to an example of the invention has a low total sugar content (5.3 to 7%) prepared using maltitol, corn syrup of DE28 (which provides digestible complex sugars) and inulin (which provides non-digestible complex sugars) . The ice cream was prepared using the basic recipe shown in Table 2.

[0071] Table 2 Basic formula of ice cream

[0072] Element

[0073] Maltitol was >99% pure Maltisorb supplied by Roquette. DE28 corn (glucose) syrup was supplied by Cerestar (France) C * dry TM GL01924, its moisture content is 4wt%. On a dry basis, it consists of 14 wt% sugars (composed of 3% glucose and 11% maltose) and 86 wt% digestible complex sugars (composed of 16.5% maltotriose and 69.5% higher sugars). Inulin for Raftiline by ORAFTI (Tienen, Belgium) TM , and its moisture content is 3.8wt%. On a dry basis, inulin consisted of 92 wt% fructo-oligosaccharides and 8 wt% sugars (sucrose, fructose and glucose)....

Embodiment 10-18

[0085] Examples 10-18 - Sorbet

[0086] Example sorbets according to the invention were also prepared using maltitol, DE28 corn syrup and inulin. Sorbets were prepared using the base recipe shown in Table 5.

[0089] Again, 9 different combinations were used: three different levels for each of maltitol and inulin. The amount of DE28 corn syrup corresponding to each maltitol / inulin combination was chosen such that all sorbets had the same ice content. The combinations are shown in Table 6, along with the digestible and non-digestible complex sugars and sugar content present in each. The sugar comes from low molecular weight components present in corn syrup and inulin.

Abstract

A frozen confection is provided, comprising (by weight of the confection) less than 9 wt % total sugars; maltitol, xylitol or mixtures thereof in a total amount of from 2 to 15 wt %; from 5 to 25 wt % digestible complex saccharides; from 1 to 15 wt % non-digestible complex saccharides; and intense sweeteners in a total amount CT given by the following condition: CT wherein X is 2.0 wt % and R is the sweetness of the intense sweeteners relative to sucrose expressed on a weight basis.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a frozen dessert, such as ice cream, frozen yoghurt, sorbet, fruit ice, milk ice and the like. In particular, the invention relates to frozen confectionery with a low sugar content. Background technique [0002] Frozen confections often contain relatively high amounts of sugar. Parents are concerned about the damage to their children's teeth from eating sugary foods. Furthermore, the incidence of obesity and the number of people considered overweight has increased dramatically in the past decade in countries following the so-called Western diet. Since obesity and overweight are generally recognized to be associated with various diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and arteriosclerosis, the above increase is a major health concern for the medical community and individuals alike. Furthermore, being overweight is considered unattractive by most Westerners. This has led to increased consumer interest in...
