Sugar Substitutes - Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysates
Sweeteners To Save Calories
Hydrogenated starch hydrolysates (HSH) are mixtures of polyhydric
alcohols such as sorbitol, maltitol, and higher-order sugar alcohols.
They are important food ingredients because of their sweetness,
low cariogenic potential, and useful functional properties. These
traits permit HSH products to be used as viscosity or bodying agents,
humectants, crystallization modifiers, and rehydration aids. A substantial
body of safety information is available for HSH products and their
individual chemical components. Based on this information, the substances
have received favorable evaluations from international expert safety
organizations such as the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food
Additives (JECFA) and European Community's Scientific Committee
for Food. This same information has been submitted to the United
States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as part of the petitioning
process to affirm the generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status
of these substances. Some of the animal feeding studies important
to a full safety assessment for HSH substances, while long available
to international safety expert organizations and governmental organizations,
have never been published in the literature. Three of these studies,
i.e., a chronic (24-month) feeding study, a multigeneration reproduction
study, and a teratology study, are reported on this article, together
with metabolic information. The results of this evaluation establish
HSH substances as safe food ingredients.
