VERFAHREN ZUM FIXIEREN VON ACETALDEHYD IN SACCHAROSE

摘要

An improved method for fixing volatile flavoring compounds such as acetaldehyde is disclosed. The method comprises: obtaining a glassy, aqueous, supersaturated sucrose solution; mixing therewith a volatile flavoring compound sufficiently to at least partially dissolve the volatile flavoring compound in the solution and initiate crystallization of the sucrose; contacting the resulting mixture with a stream of a drying gas during the mixing operation to at least partially dry the mixture as crystallization proceeds; and recovering as a product crystalline sucrose having the volatile flavoring compound fixed therein.
