Abstract

The invention relates to a non-cariogenic hydrogenated starch hydrolysate as well as to a process for preparing it. The starch hydrolysate according to the invention comprises: PA1 less than 3% by weight of polyols of DP higher than 20; PA1 less than 60% by weight of maltitol (DP 2); PA1 less than 19% by weight of sorbitol (DP 1), the balance to 100 being constituted by polyols of DP 3 to 20. This starch hydrolysate can be used in food products as a sweetening non-cariogenic agent.
