A process for manufacturing aerated and grained sugar-free boiled sweets comprises
the steps consisting of boiling a syrup comprising, relative to the dry mater content,
at least 60% by weight of a hydrogenated disaccharide so as to obtain a massecuite;
beating the massecuite until cooling below the melting point of the hydrogenated
disaccharide is obtained; working the resulting mass and aerating the mass; forming
the aerated mass and allowing it to harden so as to obtain an aerated boiled sweet;
and carrying out a forced graining in a moist medium so as to obtain an aerated
grained sugar-free boiled sweet. Further includes is providing aerated grained
sugar-free boiled sweet, wherein the sweetening dry matter content comprises at
least 60% by weight of a hydrogenated disaccharide.
