Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
An edible, fluid, fat-free syrup composition for use as a table syrup containing not more than 60 calories per fluid ounce consisting essentially of water and not more than 43.3% by weight of the composition sugar solids, 0.5 to 1.0% by weight of the composition a medium viscosity carboxymethyl cellulose gum having a high degree of carboxymethyl substitution or a derivative thereof, 0.1 to 1.0% by weight of the composition salt, 0.01 to 0.5% by weight of the composition an edible anti-mycotic agent, 0.01 to 0.10% by weight of the composition sodium hexametaphosphate, and 0.01 to 0.5% by weight of the composition a flavorant.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
A composition in accordance with claim 1 in which the sugar solids content is about 40.0 to 43.3% by weight of the composition.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
180 words
A process for producing an edible, fluid, fat-free syrup composition for use as a table syrup which contains not more than 60 calories per fluid ounce which comprises mixing together water, a medium viscosity carboxymethyl cellulose gum having a high degree of carboxymethyl substitution or derivative thereof, salt and an anti-mycotic to form a premix, then adding to and mixing with the premix sugar, sodium hexametaphosphate and a flavorant, and then heating the composition to a temperature sufficient to sterilize the composition, said cellulose gum being employed in an amount of 0.5 to 1.0% by weight of the compoistion, salt being employed in an amount of 0.1 to 1.0% by weight of the composition, the anti-mycotic being employed in an amount of 0.01 to 0.5% by weight of the composition, the sodium hexametaphosphate being employed in an amount of 0.01 to 0.10% by weight of the composition, the flavorant being employed in an amount of 0.01 to 0.5% by weight of the composition, and the sugar being employed in an amount not more than 43.3% by weight of the composition.
