A Method to Develop Tablet Candy with Different Particle Sizes of Maltitol
This study used a combination formula of maltitol with different particle sizes to replace sucrose in directly pressed tablet candies.The three factor and three level orthogonal experimental method was used to determine the flowability of the raw materials(including angle of rest and flow rate),the density and hardness of the tablet candies,and combined with consumer sensory evaluation,to compare the physicochemical properties and sensory indicators of different particle size maltitol formula tablet candies.The results showed that the maltitol formulas containing 3%120 μ m,3%160 μ m,3%220 μ m,and 4%250 μ m particle sizes had the best fluidity and suitable hardness,and received the highest overall consumer evaluation,making them the best formula comprehensively evaluated.
