A process for producing a low calorie sweetening composition which is readily soluble in aqueous systems, low in hygroscopicity and devoid of aftertaste which alters the sweetness thereof which comprises: a. forming an aqueous solution of a carbohydrate selected from the group consisting of maltose and dextrins having dextrose equivalent greater than 20; b. heating the carbohydrate solution until the carbohydrate is completely solubilized; c. adding a catalytic amount of phosphoric acid to the heated solution in order to catalyze the polymerization of the carbohydrate; d. vacuum drying the acidified heated solution to form an acidified carbohydrate syrup; e. vacuum heating the acidified carbohydrate syrup to obtain a polymer residue; f. forming an aqueous solution of dipeptide sweetener with the polymer in a respective weight ratio range of about 1:19 to about 3:7. g. drying the dipeptide sweetener/polymer solution.
