POWDER CONTAINING BETA-MALTOSE HYDROUS CRYSTAL, METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME AND USE THEREOF

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce a powder containing β-maltose hydrous crystal that has high solubility in an aqueous medium and can easily be handled, and to provide a method for producing the powder and use thereof.

SOLUTION: This powder is obtained by granulating and powdering by protruding method the β-maltose hydrous crystal containing ≥86 w/wt%-<93 w/wt% of maltose and ≥2 w/wt% glucose and having crystallinity of ≥62%-<72% all in terms of anhydorides. The method for producing the powder containing β-maltose hydrous crystal is similarly provided and applications of the powder containing the β-maltose hydrous crystal for several kinds of compositions such as food products and drink products, cosmetics and medicines are also provided.
