METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING POWDERY CRYSTALLINE MALTITOL

摘要

The present invention is directed to a method for converting maltitol into a crystalline powder by very simple procedures and in short time. To an aqueous solution of maltitol with 1-15% by weight moisture content, seed crystals of maltitol are added and a shearing force is applied continuously at a temperature lower than the melting point of the seed crystals, thus obtaining a powdery crystalline maltitol.
