Abstract: The invention provides edible compositions such as solid particulate sweeteners, boiled sweets, chocolate and chewing gum, wherein the compositions comprise at least 10% on a dry weight basis of one or more substances having an endothermic heat of solution of at least −30 kJ/kg and at least 10% on a dry weight basis of a substantially amorphous solid trehalose. The one or more substances having an endothermic heat of solution may comprise dextrose monohydrate or a crystalline sugar alcohol. The invention also provides processes suitable for the production of such edible compositions, wherein the processes comprise the step of dry mixing amorphous trehalose particles in an amount of at least 10% based on the dry weight of the composition with one or more other edible ingredients to form a dry mixture.
