A process for efficiently producing crystalline maltitol at low cost in a short time with satisfactory working efficiency without using any seed crystal. The process comprises feeding a first aqueous maltitol solution to a kneading apparatus to knead and cool the solution therein, subsequently feeding a second aqueous maltitol solution having a high solid concentration in place of the first aqueous maltitol solution to continuously knead and co ol the resultant mixture and thereby produce a plastic mass, cooling the mass t o form a solidification product, and then pulverizing it. Alternatively, the process comprises feeding an aqueous maltitol solution to a kneading apparat us to knead and cool it, subsequently adding water thereto, continuously kneadi ng and cooling the resultant mixture to produce a plastic mass, cooling the mas s to form a solidification product, and then pulverizing it. |
