Patent ID: 6849286

Claim:
A method of producing a compressed product of isomaltulose, isomalt or mixtures containing 6-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol (“1,6-GPS”) and 1-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-D-mannitol (“1,1-GPM”), which are characterized by quantity ratios of 1,1-GPM to 1,6-GPS which differ from those of isomalt and/or contain other sugar alcohols, comprising a) dry grinding the isomaltulose, isomalt and/or the mixture containing 1,6-GPS and 1,1-GPM, b) at the same time or thereafter, separating or obtaining a ground fraction of the isomaltulose, the isomalt or the mixture containing 1,6-GPS and 1,1-GPM with a maximum particle diameter of 100 μm, c) agglomerating the ground fraction with the addition of a liquid binder, and d) then compressing the mixture to form a compressed product.
