PURPOSE: To produce a crystalline powdery erythritol composition containing a food ingredient selected from a food and a food additive according to a kneading method. CONSTITUTION: A seed crystal, as necessary, is added to an aqueous solution containing erythritol prepared by adding a food or a food additive to high-purity erythritol or a solution obtained by dissolving the food or food additive in a thermally melted liquid of the high-purity erythritol and the resultant mixture is then kneaded. The prepared solidified material, as necessary, is further pulverized. Thereby, the crystalline powdery erythritol, useful as a new food material and containing the food and food additive can be produced at a low cost according to a simple method. |
