Sweetening agent and preparation method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a sweetening agent. The sweetening agent is prepared from the following components in percentage by weight: 5-30% of stevioside, 0.1-5% of fructus momordicae extract, 0.01-0.5%of thaumatin, 61.5-90% of special dextrin and 0-3% of natural essence. The sweetening agent takes stevioside and fructus momordicae extract (or mogroside), which have a natural source, as main raw materials, and is added with a proper amount of thaumatin, special dextrin and natural essence (raw material with good mouthfeel), which also have a natural plant source and are added according to the mouth-feel needs, so that the sweet taste and the mouthfeeel of the compound sweetening agent which combines stevioside and fructus momordicae again are further improved, and therefore, the bitter taste and the post sweet taste are further shielded, the sweetening speed is increased, the sweet taste and the mouthfeel are very similar to those of saccharose; and while a triangular test is performedon the saccharose, the score is very high. The sweetening agent is a high-power sweetening agent with sweetening times 20-50 times that of the saccharose, so that the cost of sweetness per unit is reduced by 10-20% in comparison with cost of the saccharose, and therefore, the economic value and the social benefits are very high.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a sweetener and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of sweeteners. Background technique

[0002] With the development of science and technology and the enhancement of people's awareness of physical health, people have found that excessive intake of sucrose will cause great harm to the human body, and many diseases are related to excessive intake of sucrose. Nutrition surveys and studies have shown that long-term excessive intake of sucrose will lead to excessive insulin secretion, carbohydrate and fat metabolism disorder, the imbalance of the internal environment of the human body, and cause a variety of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, dental caries, etc. The occurrence of both is related to the excessive intake of sucrose. Therefore, the development of sugar-free, low-calorie, zero-calorie, and natural-source sweeteners has become the trend of the time...

[0034] The present embodiment provides a sweetener, especially a zero-calorie compound sweetener, which includes the following components in weight percentage:

[0035] Steviol glycosides, 5-30%; preferably 10-25%; more preferably 15-20%.

[0036] Luo Han Guo extract, 0.1-5%; preferably 1-3%; more preferably 2%.

[0037] Thaumatin, 0.01-0.5%; preferably 0.01-0.1%; more preferably: 0.05%.

[0038] Special dextrin, 61.5-90%; preferably 70-90%; more preferably: 70%.

[0039] Natural flavor (sweet flavor), 0.1-3%; preferably 1-2%; more preferably 0.5%.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the sweetener of the present invention uses natural sources of steviol glycosides and Luo Han Guo extracts (or mogrosides) as main raw materials, and an appropriate amount of thaumatin, which is also a natural plant source, special paste, etc. Essence and natural essence (raw material for mouthfeel) to further enhance the sweetness and taste of recombined steviol glycosides and Luo Han Guo co...

Embodiment 2

[0047] The present embodiment provides a kind of sweetener, it comprises each component of following percentage by weight:

[0048] Steviol glycosides (more than 95% of total glycosides), 12.8%;
