Applications and benefits
Applications
Confectionery - chewing gum
- In a solid phase polyol powders are used: C*Sorbidex™ for its cooling effect and humidity control, C*Mannidex™ to improve mechanical strength and Maltidex® to improve taste and extend flexibility and shelf life.
- In a liquid phase, polyol syrups are used: C*Sorbidex™ syrup is a cost-effective solution and also improves elasticity. Maltidex® syrup adds viscosity, offers crystallization control and improves lexibility, elasticity and shelf life.
- In coatings, C*Sorbidex™ syrup is the most often used as it is a cost-effective solution, IsomaltiDex™ is low in hygroscopicity and increases stability, while Maltidex® increases crunchiness.
- For dusting purposes, C*Mannidex™ is commonly used as it reduces stickiness thanks to its low hygroscopicity.
Confectionery –
Sugar-free confectionery
- IsomaltiDex™ ensures no stickiness of candy thanks to its low hygroscopicity
- Maltidex® syrup delivers a better flavor release and creates a higher relative sweetness. It allows for better processability thanks to its higher viscosity
- C*Sorbidex™ syrup is a cost-effective solution for sweetness and bulk
Bakery
In cakes & soft cookies, polyols extend shelf life and offer humidity control (C*Sorbidex™) and ensure sweetness without browning (Maltidex®).
In crispy biscuits & cereal bars, sweetness and crunchiness is best delivered via IsomaltiDex™ powder or Maltidex®.
Ice Cream, frozen desserts & Dairy
- Maltidex® is a go to solutions for sugar-free sweetness, suitable for diabetics in dairy & frozen desserts. It enhances fruity flavors and adds body and mouthfeel to dairy products and fruit preparations for dairy.
