Abstract:
1. A process for producing a directly compressible tabletting aid comprising a xylitol content of more than 90% by weight and a content of at least one other polyol of less than 10% by weight, produced by dissolving the xylitol in a solvent and spray drying or fluidized bed granulating, comprising: a) producing an aqueous solution by dissolving xylitol and at least one other polyol, the resulting mixture having a xylitol content of more than 90% by weight based on the total polyol content, b1) spraying the resulting mixture in a stream of air at a temperature of from 120° C. to 300° C., evaporation of the water taking place, or b2) fluidizing the resulting mixture in a stream of air at a temperature of from 30° C. to 110° C., evaporation of the water taking place, and c) isolating the tabletting aid.
