Abstract
The present invention is directed to edible compositions containing a sweetener combination of xylitol and maltitol. This combination exhibits sweetness synergism. It also lacks the undesired burning aftertaste of pure xylitol, has a substantial cooling effect and avoids set-up problems. The compositions range from confections such as chewing gum, chocolate and hard candy to dietetic foods.
