Zusammenfassung:A method for producing anhydrous crystalline fructose by crystallizing from solution is provided. A highly supersaturated aqueous solution of fructose is added to a heel of crystalline fructose and dry seed. The temperature of the solution is then lowered to crystallize fructose from the solution to form a massecuite. The massecuite is divided into a product portion and a heel portion, the product portion being treated to isolated crystalline fructose which is then classified into product cuts on the basis of particle size of the fructose crystals, each product cut having a substantially typical particle size distribution.
