PURPOSE:To provide a powdered ethanol compsn. which is safe in use and handling and can be produced simply, inexpensively and easily, by melting a mixture of ethanol and sugar alcohol in a specified weight ratio by heating it at a predetermined temp., cooling it and crushing it. CONSTITUTION:20-70pts.wt. ethanol is mixed with 80-30pts.wt. sugar alcohol. Examples of the sugar alcohol are sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol, erythritol, threitol, etc., which are obtd. by reducing saccharides. The mixture is molten by heating it at 50-100 deg.C, cooled and crushed to obtain the desired powdered ethanol compsn. When the obtained compsn. is packed in a container having ethanol- permeability, an ethanol preparation for the preservation of food can be obtd. When the compsn. is blended with appropriate souring material, flavoring material, dye, seasoning, etc., powdered alcoholic beverage, powdered seasoning, etc., can be obtd. |
