Description

A SYNERGISTIC SUGAR-FREE SYRUP COMPOSITION AND A PROCESS FOR
PREPARING THE SAME
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a synergistic sugar-free syrup composition useful for preparing traditional Indian sweets, said syrup composition comprising 25.0 to 99.99 % by et. sorbitol, 0.01 to 20.0 % by wt. mannitol, up to 70.0 % by wt. water and upto 0.5 gms of an intense sweetener per 500 gms of final syrup and a process for preparing the same.
BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Indian traditional sweets play an important role in our daily life always associated with happy and festive occasions. Rough estimate indicates that this age-old, cottage scale industry is the major consumer of sugar in the country and they are popular throughout the country. Sugar content in these products varies and is upto 40-50%. Due to increased public awareness and health consciousness of the public, the demand for dietetic foods is increasing throughout the world including in our country. The present invention relates to a process for preparation of low and sugar free syrup suitable for Indian traditional sweets such as Jamun, Rasogolla, Boondi and Laddu, which are ready to eat. There is no literature on preparation of low sugar Indian traditional sweets. However, literature is available on low sugar Western type confectionery products.
Reference may be made to liquid, transparent mixture based on lactitol (Blankers et al. 2002, USP. 6,444,250), wherein transparent mixture containing lactitol, other polyols and or hydrogenated polydextrose suitable for use as a sweetener in hard-boiled sweets, soft confectionery, ice-cream products and bakery products is prepared. The drawbacks of this invention are: mainly lactitol and hydrogenated saccharide mixtures are used, which are different from the present invention and may not be suitable for Indian traditional sweets. Reference may also be made to liquid food products (Silver, 2002, USP. 6,399,142), wherein novel liquid foods containing water and inulin fractions along with artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, sucralose, saccharin or one or more polyols. The drawbacks of this invention are: fraction of inulin, which is a polysaccharide at low concentrations are used, which are not suitable for the present invention, where higher concentrations of polyols are employed.
Reference may also may be made to sugar-free dragee chewing sweets (Fritzsching, et. al., USP 6,372,271 (2002), wherein the sweet coated chewing sweet is sugar-free and the sweetening agent is hydrogenated isomaltulose or a mixture of 1,1 -GPS (1-o-alpha D- glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol), 1,1-GPM (1-o-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-mannitol) and 1,6- GPS (6-o-alpha -D=glucopyranostyl-D-sorbitol) and optionally sorbitol, mannitol, hydrogenated or non-hydrogenated oligosaccharides are employed. The drawbacks of this invention are: main sweetening agent used is isomaltulose and it consists of maltitol syrup, protein hydrolysate, hydrocolloids, fat substitutes, fat, gums, etc., which are useful for present invention.
Reference may also be made to sugar-free coating obtained by hard coating and process for producing it (Ribadeau-Dumas, et. al. USP 5,900,261 (1999), wherein a hard crystalline coating consisting of at least 90%) of a polyol mixture consisting of about 20-50% mannitol or about 5-50%) glucose 1-6 mannitol, the balance for 100% of dry matter content of the mixture consisting of polyol selected from xylitol, maltitol and lactitol was reported. The drawbacks of this invention are: the solids polyols are used in this invention for coating, where as syrups of appropriate strengths are required for the present invention. Reference may be made to syrups containing sorbitol, a plasticizing agent and an anticrystallization agent and their use in chewing gum and other products (Reed et al 1997, USP 5,651,936), wherein syrups of aqueous sorbitol, plasticizing agent from glycerin, propylene glycol and mixtures and an anticrystallization agent selected from other alditols from maltitol, mannitol, hydrogenated isomaltlose, xylitol, erythritol and mixtures thereof for used in chewing gum. The drawbacks of this invention are: mixtures of sorbitol, plasticizing agent and anticrystallizing agent and the concentration of the syrup is higly which are not suitable for the present invention.
Reference may be made to sugar-free hard boiled candy and process for its manufacture (Serpelloni, et. al, USP 5,629,042 (1997), wherein sugar free boiled sweet containing atleast one water crystallizable polyol, selected from maltitol, isomalt, mannitol, erythritol, sorbitol, xylitol and lactitol were used. The drawbacks of this invention are: 5-100%> polyol and hydrogenated carbohydrate for hard-boiled confection are used, which are entirely different from those of the present invention and these are not suitable. Reference may also be made to sugar-free chocolate coating (Bombardier, et. al, UPS 5,017,392 (1991), wherein a sugar free chocolate coating for a frozen dairy dessert comprising 4.5-10% milk solids, 16-19.1% chocolate flavoring substance, 5-10% mannitol, 0.35-0.5% lecithin, 12-25% polydextrose, 0.11-0.13% aspartame, 0-2% black cocoa, 0-8%) cocoa butter and the balance vegetable oil is prepared. The drawbacks of this invention are : solid polyol, mannitol along with chocolate ingredients are used in this, which are not suitable for use in the present invention, where syrup of particular strength is required.
Reference may also be made to process for the manufacture of sucrose-free, dietetic and /or teeth sparing chocolate (Kerne, et al, USP 4,980,189 (1990), wherein sucrose free chocolate crumb consisting of sugar alcohols, isomaltulose, isomaltose, leucrose and polydextrose and mixtures thereof mixed with whole and skimmed milk powder, chocolate liquor, drying and prepared chocolate. The drawbacks of this invention are: solid polyols along with chocolate ingredients are employed which are not suitable for the present invention and are different. Reference may also be made to low-calorie sugar-free chewing gum containing polydextrose (Klose, et al, USP 4,382,963 (1983), wherein a sugar free, low calorie chewing gum utilizing polydextrose comprising aspartame at 0.1-0.7% was used. The drawbacks of this invention are: bulking agent along with intense sweetener used which is entirely different and not suitable for the present invention. Sugar imparts not only sweetness but also other desirable characteristics such as body, texture and mouthfeel to most of the traditional sweets. Hence, selection of alternative sweeteners is very important to get the products comparable with those of sugar counterparts. Intense sweeteners such as sucralose, aspartame, acesulfame K impart only sweetness but not the other characteristics. The drawbacks of the above-cited literature are: processes and products prepared are of Western type confectionery and are entirely different and are not applicable to processing or product formulations of the present invention. The process of preparation of the product and preparation of sweetening blends are different from those reported. Polyols along with other ingredients such as polydextrose, plasticizing agents employed for use in confectionery products and chewing gums. These processes or type and proportions of sweeteners are not suitable for preparation of traditional sweets, as they require characteristic consistency of the syrup for penetration into the products such as Jamun, Rasogolla, Boondi and also binding for Laddu. Hence, selection of sweetener blend and consistency or strength of the syrups are very important to impart the characteristics similar to those of sugar in traditional sweets.
