PURPOSE:To obtain a low-caloric, noncariogenic and nonhygroscopic formed saccharide, by blending a specific amount of meso-erythritol crystal grains with meso-erythritol powder, adding water, compression forming the resultant blend and then drying the formed blend. CONSTITUTION:Crystal grains of meso-erythritol which is a tetrahydric sugaralcohol contained in natural algae, mushrooms, etc., are blended with meso-erythritol powder at 97/3-80/20 weight ratio and then, as necessary, relatively small amounts of other components, such as gum arabic, pectin or perfume. Water is subsequently added to knead the blend so as to provide 2-6wt.% moisture content based on the total blend. Compression forming is then carried out. The formed blend is subsequently dried by through-flow drying, vacuum drying, etc., to afford the aimed saccharide having cubic sugar-like beautiful appearance. |
