Low Temperature Non-Crystallizing Liquid Xylitol Compositions And Co-Hydrogenation Processes For Making Same
US Patent:
6498248, Dec 24, 2002
Filed:
Sep 9, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/392943
Inventors:
Mary Lou Cunningham - Wilmington DE

Assignee:
SPI Polyols, Inc. - New Castle DE
International Classification:
C07H 100
US Classification:
536128, 426658, 127 58
Abstract:
A liquid xylitol composition that is non-crystallizing at low temperatures comprising, at between about 65 and about 90 weight percent dry solids, xylitol, in an amount between about 65 and about 90 weight percent of the dry solids, and sorbitol, in an amount between about 10 and about 35 weight percent of the dry solids. This liquid xylitol composition is preferably non-crystallizing at between about 0° C. and about 10° C. A process for producing liquid xylitol compositions, comprising co-hydrogenating a sugar syrup mixture comprising a sugar syrup having a dextrose equivalence (DE) of between about 20 DE and about 99 DE, in an amount between about 5 and about 35 weight percent of the mixture, and xylose, in an amount between about 65 and about 95 weight percent of the mixture. This process may be used to produce liquid xylitol compositions that are non-crystallizing at low temperatures.
Co-Crystallized Polyols And Hydrogenated Maltodextrin
US Patent:
6875460, Apr 5, 2005
Filed:
Jun 5, 2001
Appl. No.:

Assignee:
SPI Polyols, Inc. - New Castle DE
International Classification:
A23L001/236
US Classification:
426548, 426658, 426660
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a co-crystallized product and a method of making the product. The product comprises a polyol and a hydrogenated maltodextrin that have been co-crystallized together. The co-crystallization of polyols and hydrogenated maltodextrin according to the invention provides a sweetener product that is sucrose-free, yet has a reduced sensory cooling effect compared to the original polyol(s). The reduced sensory cooling effect is due to an increase of the heat of solution that is observed when polyols are co-crystallized with hydrogenated maltodextrin. Because the product of the invention is a sucrose-free sweetener that does not demonstrate the strong sensory cooling effect typically found with polyol sweeteners, the invention has a wide variety of applications which previously are not available for polyol sweeteners.
Crystalline Maltitol Composition And Method For Production
US Patent:
2006007, Apr 13, 2006
Filed:
Oct 13, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/963905
Inventors:
Paul Staniszewski - Newark DE, US
Mary Cunningham - Wilmington DE, US
Mary Cunningham - Wilmington DE, US
International Classification:
A23L 1/236
US Classification:
426548000
Abstract:
A non-seeded method for making crystalline maltitol is described. The method includes evaporating liquid maltitol to a moisture content of between about 4.5 percent to about 6.0 percent to produce a maltitol feed; cooling said maltitol feed with water at a temperature of between about 10 degrees to about 20 degrees Celsius; and extruding said maltitol feed without using a nozzle. The process is performed without a seeding step. A crystalline maltitol composition having at least 45% by volume maltitol crystals having a size of at least 50 microns made by the method is also described.
