Abstract
Abstract An invention providing a process for producing orally-usable products possessing low- or anti-cariogenic properties is disclosed. The process comprises preparing said products with, or adding thereto a saccharide having a substantial anti-cariogenicity. The saccharides preferred in the invention are isomaltosyl mono-, di-, tri-glucoses, and reduction products thereof; for example, panose, isomaltotriose, isomaltosyl maltose, isomaltotetraose, isomaltopentaose, and reduction products thereof, i.e., pannitol, isomaltotriitol, isomaltosyl maltitol, isomaltotetraitol, and isomaltopentaitol. Such saccharides can be used in the production of any products used orally, including foods and drinks in general, to impart thereto a substantial low- or anti-cariogenic property, as well as to sweeten them.
