FREMGANGSMAATE FOR KOMPRIMERING AV SKUM OG DET DERAV RESULTERENDE PRODUKT.

摘要

A preparation of sorbitol which can be compressed has at least 90% by weight of the sorbitol in gamma form and comprises blunt-shaped particles with an orientated micro- needles surface state. The sorbitol is manufactured by mixing finely divided molten sorbitol, of dry matter content greater than 98%, with essentially the same amount of pulverulent sorbitol of particle size less than 5 mm at a temperature above 95 DEG C in an open rotating vessel to form grains which when ripened contain at least 90% by weight of gamma sorbitol. These grains, if necessary reduced in size, can be compressed to provide tablets comprising sorbitol for dietetic or pharmaceutical use.
