PCT No. PCT/FI90/00152 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 15, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 15, 1992 PCT Filed Jun. 5, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO90/14821 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 13, 1990The invention relates to a predominantly fructose-based granulated product suitable for use in the manufacture of tablets by direct compression means and consisting of free-flowing granules comprising about 92% to about 98% by weight of fructose, about 1% to about 7% by weight of a physiologically acceptable polyol selected from sorbitol, maltitol, lactitol, xylitol, mannitol, isomalt and mixtures thereof, op-tionally with other hydrogenation products of sugars, and less than about 1% by weight of water. The granu-lated product is produced according to the invention by agglomerating crystalline fructose ground to a fine particle size by means of an aqueous solution of the polyol, while the fructose is brought to a rapid movement to form a granular product, and drying the granules by means of dry air to a water content of less than 1%.
