Title:

MOLASSES-CONTAINING MALTITOL CRYSTAL AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2002/002581

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

Molasses-containing maltitol crystals which, when pulverized and classified so as to give a powder at least 70 wt.% of which is accounted for by 16- to 50-mesh particles, has an oil absorption of 0.1 to 6.9 wt.% and a bulk density of 0.60 to 0.75 g/cc; and a process for producing molasses-containing maltitol crystals which comprises introducing air bubbles into an aqueous maltitol solution. By the process, molasses-containing maltitol crystals having satisfactory solubility and little hygroscopicity are produced in a short time with satisfactory working efficiency at low cost.
