Wonderfully sweet – completely sugarfree.
No-one has to say no to Kaiser candies.

Instead of using sugar and glucose syrup, today Kaiser also uses sugar substitutes such as Isomalt and Sorbitol to make its sugarfree candies.

Both ingredients are gentle to the teeth and ensure a non-cariogenic, low-calorie enjoyment.

Sorbitol is made from glucose with the aid of enzymes. Sorbitol was originally obtained from rowan berries, but is found in many other varieties of fruit.

Isomalt is produced from sugar beet and replaces sugar in the same ratio. However, Isomalt is not as sweet as sugar, with the result that sweeteners have to be added. Kaiser currently uses the following sweeteners:

• Aspartame (E951)
  A strong sweetener, containing only a few calories, which is metabolised by the body quite naturally and tastes just like sugar although it is about 200 times sweeter. Aspartame contains a source of phenylalanine.
• Acesulfame K (E950)
  An almost calorie-free sweetener which is about 200 times sweeter than sugar. It is rapidly absorbed by the body and excreted unaltered in urine.

Sugarfree products may produce laxative effects if consumed to excessively.

INFO: It is anticipated that the use of the natural sweetener stevia will be granted by the EU authorities during 2011; up till now, its use in foods has been prohibited.
