A free flowing, handleable, crystalline, anhydrous high dextrose bearing product is prepared from a starch hydrolyzate. The starch hydrolyzate is first concentrated to a high dry substance level. It is then simultaneously crystallized and crushed by mixing while cooling. Seed material selected from any crystalline sugar, e.g. dextrose, may be added during this stage. The crushed crystalline product is then further cooled and milled to a reduced particle size. Screening can be used if necessary to obtain a specific particle size. The crushed and milled product is then conditioned in two stages. The first stage is drying in a fluidized bed to less than about 0.5% total moisture and the second stage is cooling to below about 35 DEG C. Handleability (non-caking qualities) and composition stability with respect to crystallinity and beta-anhydrous dextrose content of the high dextrose bearing product are excellent even after it has been stored in bags for long periods of time. |
