Hydrogenated starch hydrolysate

About

Hydrogenated starch hydrolysates, also sold as polyglycitol syrup and numbered INS 964, are mixtures of sugar alcohols made by partially hydrolysing starch (usually corn, sometimes potato or wheat) into dextrins and then hydrogenating them.[1] They were developed by the Swedish starch maker Lyckeby in the 1960s and are between 40 and 90 per cent as sweet as table sugar, which is why they appear both as bulk sweeteners in food and, under their INCI name, as the humectant and sweetening base of toothpastes.[1]
