Abstract
The present invention provides a rapidly-soluble sweetener, a process for preparing it, and improved dry beverage mixes employing it. The composition preferably comprises from 15 to 65% fructose, from 15 to 30% of low dextrose equivalence dextrinized starch, and from 30 to 65% sucrose, on a dry solids basis. By preparing it with a density of 0.4 or less, solubility is greatly enhanced over prior art sweeteners, especially sucrose. Because of the improved solubility, carbonation is not lost by requiring stirring of a sweetener when preparing a beverage from a dry carbonated beverage mix.
