Low calorie dry sweetener composition

摘要

Pulverulent free-flowing water-soluble low calorie sweetener compositions having the general appearance of sucrose are produced by preparing a strong aqueous solution or slurry of an aspartyl- phenylalanine methyl ester sweetener at a relatively low temperature, admixing therewith a heated aqueous starch hydrolysate having a D.E. of zero to 20, and promptly thereafter, feeding the mixture to the preheater of a spray drier and thereupon spray drying said mixture to provide an expanded dry pulverulent composition containing a low moisture content.
