Abstract

Combining an effective amount of an antifoaming agent with other ingredients of a sugar substitute sweetener by co-spray drying the defoamer with a minor amount of these ingredients such that the defoamer is present in excessive amounts, and thereafter blending the co-dried material with the remaining major amount of the sugar substitute ingredients to bring the concentration back to an effective, but non-excessive amount, results in a bulked low-calorie sweetening composition which is not only readily soluble and non-foaming, but is devoid of any appreciable change in desirable physical characteristics such as density and flowability.
