Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0971040A1] The production of crystallized fructose (A) by solidification of a hot concentrated fructose solution by adding crystal seeds of fructose comprises a fructose solution (B) for preparing crystal seeds obtained by producing a freshly prepared pure fructose syrup from melted fructose dihydrate and concentrating by evaporation under vacuum to give a solids content at least 96 wt. %. An Independent claim is also included for a crystallized fructose comprising beta -D-fructopyranose as a main constituent, obtained by the above described method.
