Porous crystalline saccharide, its preparation and uses

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide a crystalline saccharide having novel physical properties, a preparation and uses thereof. The present invention solves the above objects by providing a porous crystalline saccharide having a number of pores, a process for producing the same, comprising the step of keeping hydrous crystalline saccharide at an ambient temperature or higher in an organic solvent for the dehydration, and the use thereof.
