| Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to a novel process for the crystallization of xylitol, to a particulate crystalline xylitol product having novel properties, to the use thereof in confectionery, foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals and oral hygiene products, and to special products comprising the same. The present invention specifically provides a crystalline xylitol product, wherein the crystals are produced by microcrystallization of xylitol from a liquid solution of xylitol.
The invention relates to a novel process for the crystallization of xylitol by contacting a xylitol solution with particulate xylitol suspended in a gas, drying the material to produce a multitude of microrystals and conditioning the material into an agglomerated product. The invention also relates to a particulate crystalline xylitol product having novel properties, to the use thereof in confectionery, foodstuff pharmaceuticals and oral hygiene products, and to special products comprising the same. |
