ABSTRACT Clear stable gels are made from hydrogenated maltose containing starch hydrolysates having 25-94% maltitol, 2-30 sorbitol, and minor amounts of higher saccharides by the addition of amorphous silica gelling agents. These gels are useful in formulating cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, confections and food specialties. They are particularly useful in preparing clear gel toothpaste compositions. |
