Abstract:
1. A purified Form II sucrose consisting of a single crystalline form, having a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) result which shows one peak only, at approximately 150° C., characterized in that a reverse solution method is used to perform a reaction by adding furfuryl alcohol into a saturated Form I sucrose solution at a ratio of 1:1, wherein the Form I sucrose solution is equal to 2873 mg of sucrose per mL of water, while maintaining the reaction at 60° C., and stirring with a rotation speed of 500 rpm, such that the saturated Form I sucrose solution is recrystallized to yield the purified Form II sucrose; wherein the purified Form II sucrose has a melting point of 140-180° C.; and wherein the purified Form II sucrose has a solubility of 2.15-2.20 g/ml at 25° C.
