Polyol compositions, process for their preparation and their applications

摘要

Polyol compsns. having an optical density of 0.100 or less as measured in the S test, are new. Also claimed is the method for the compsn. prepn. comprising catalytic hydrogenation of simple or complex reducing sugars; stabilising by caramelisation, fermentation or oxidation to give the syrup an optical density of 0.100 or less; followed by purificn.
