ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Xylitol and sorbitol, when present in edible material, have the advantage that they do not decompose to form products attacking the dental enamel, but difficulty has been experienced in their use in con- fectionery material due to their instability or the fact that they may contain constituents not permitted by food laws. The invention provides a chewy sugar- free material based on sorbitol and a sugar-free swelling agent which has the required plasticity and cohesion so that it can be formed into attractive chewy sweets or hard sweets or gum, and furthermore the tendency of xylitol to recrystallize is suppressed, by the use of a swelling agent which may be carrageenates, pectins, agar, alginates such as sodium alginate or potassium alginate or calcium alginate; carob bean flour, tragacanth, methyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, gelatine, gum arabic and/or low-sugar maltodextrin. - 2 -
