Abstract
Abstract Clear stable gels are made from hydrogenated maltose containing starch hydrolysates having 35-49% maltitol, 11-14% sorbitol, and minor amounts of higher saccharides by the addition of amorphous silica gelling agents. These gels are useful in formulating confections and food specialties.
