性炭で脱色処理し、次いでイオン交換樹脂で脱塩、脱色
処理してから濃縮し、冷却・晶析させていた。Conventionally, in order to separate and recover erythritol in high purity from the culture solution obtained by culturing these erythritol-producing bacteria in an aqueous medium, the culture solution is usually decolorized with activated carbon and then ionized. After desalting and decolorizing with an exchange resin, it was concentrated, cooled, and crystallized.

For this reason, the conventional method described above requires a large amount of activated carbon, ion exchange resin, and regenerating agents to completely decolorize and desalinate impurities caused by these various additives from the culture solution. There were all the necessary shortcomings.

た。In the cultivation process, not only glycerin, ribitol, polysaccharides, etc. are produced as side reaction products, but also products obtained by enzymatic saccharification of starch, etc., are produced instead of crystalline sucrose or glucose as raw materials. When using refined glucose (which has a glucose content of 93 to 97%, with the remainder being trisaccharides, trisaccharides, and higher oligosaccharides), the amount of trisaccharides contained in the raw material bran or higher These oligosaccharides are contained as impurities in the culture solution, either as they are or in the form of their reaction products. These various impurities are not removed even when the culture solution is treated with activated carbon or decolorized and desalted using an ion exchange resin, so when concentrating the culture solution to increase the crystallization yield of Eris IJ) The concentration of these impurities also increases, and the concentrated liquid used for crystallization becomes starch syrup-like.
This will significantly reduce the crystallization rate of erythritol. For this reason, the conventional method described above has the drawback that the entire crystallization must be carried out only at a low concentration concentration, and as a result, the crystallization yield of erythritol is significantly reduced.

養液中のエリスリトールの晶析に影響を与える不純物は
、主として下記の成分であることが判明した。According to the research conducted by the present inventors, it has been found that the impurities that affect the crystallization of erythritol in the erythritol culture solution are mainly the following components.

Oligosaccharides of trisaccharide or higher and their reaction products (1v) β-1,4 whose main component is glucose
Among polysaccharides with bonds, if the components (1), (11) and < 1r: When crystallization is carried out, the viscosity of the mother liquor rapidly increases before a sufficient crystallization yield is reached, resulting in a starch syrup-like consistency, which significantly reduces the crystallization rate and causes the separation between the precipitated crystals and the mother liquor. It also makes separation difficult.

For this reason, the obtained Eris IJ)-le crystals become cloudy when dissolved in water, causing quality deterioration.

However, this method was not completely satisfactory.

A method in which the cation exchange resin is removed by exchanging it with a ions and changed to the Ca type and/or Mg type, and then regenerated into the Na type with a Nact aqueous solution and used repeatedly, and the Na type of the weakly acidic cation exchange resin in the carboxylic acid type. The hardness components in the supernatant are removed by ion exchange by passing the supernatant through a column filled with this cation exchange resin, and Ca and/or M
The same resin that has changed to G-type is regenerated with HCl or a strong acid such as H2SO4 to make H-type, and then a NaOH aqueous solution is poured to
There is a method of returning it to the mold and then reusing it repeatedly. Of these two methods, the total salt concentration in the supernatant is usually 2.
Since the hardness component is as high as 0 to 300 meq/, in order to completely remove the hardness component from the supernatant liquid with such a high total salt concentration, it is better to use a Na type of carboxylic acid type weakly acidic cation exchange resin. is more preferable.

離能力が低下する。The above-mentioned supernatant liquid, preferably after removing the hard components, is added to a separation column completely filled with the alkali metal type or ammonium type strongly acidic cation exchange resin (hereinafter simply referred to as "separation agent"). A clear liquid, more preferably a concentrated supernatant liquid after removing hardness components and concentrating to a concentration of 30 to 70% by weight (this concentration refers to the concentration of dissolved substances), is added at a concentration of 5 to 20% by weight based on the volume of the separating agent. The solution is fed at a volumetric rate, then eluted with water, and the effluent is kept in an erythroid tube at 60-80°C. In this case, if the temperature of the separation tower, etc. is too low, microorganisms will proliferate within the separation tower, increasing the loss of liquid passing pressure, causing channeling, and reducing the separation ability.

述のように5〜20容量チとするのが望ましい。On the other hand, if the temperature is too high, oligosaccharides of trisaccharides or higher contained in the culture solution will thermally decompose, resulting in significant coloration of the solution. In addition, if the concentration of the concentrated liquid excluding hardness components supplied to the separation tower is too high, the liquid viscosity will increase and the separation performance will decrease. Since the liquid volume increases and the amount of water used as an eluent increases accordingly, the concentration of the supernatant liquid supplied to the separation column is preferably 30 to 70% by weight as the dissolved substance concentration as described above. . Furthermore, if the amount of concentrated supernatant liquid supplied to the separation column is small, separation performance will improve, but separation productivity per separation agent will decrease, and if the amount of concentrated supernatant liquid is too large, separation performance will decrease. Therefore, it is desirable that the amount of concentrated supernatant liquid supplied to the separation column at one time be 5 to 20 volumes per volume of separation agent, as described above.

を生じない。Note that, as mentioned above, a large amount of salt such as ions and NH4 ions as a nitrogen source is usually added to the medium, and some of these ions are converted to N during the hardness component removal process.
Even if they are replaced by a ions, most of these ions will still flow into the separation column. For this reason, even if the separation column is initially filled with Na-type cation exchange resin, during repeated separation operations, some of the Na-type resin will change to cation exchange resin or NH4 type, but the separation performance will be significantly lower. does not cause any hindrance.

A supernatant liquid concentrated to a predetermined concentration is passed therethrough, and then water is passed therethrough as an M syneresis liquid, so that the dissolved substances adsorbed on the separation agent are successively eluted out. Then, salts, coloring components, and polysaccharides with large molecular weights flow out, followed by oligosaccharides containing trisaccharides or higher contained in the raw glucose and side reaction products other than glycerin, and then further. Erythritol and glycerin flow out, so if you divide the flow into two fractions, before and after the point at which erythritol begins to flow out, you will find salts, coloring components, polysaccharides produced by side reactions, and trisaccharides in the raw material glucose. It can be easily divided into a former fraction containing the above-mentioned oligosaccharides and their side reaction products, and a latter fraction containing erythritol as a main component and glycerin.

ができる。Since the fraction containing erythritol as the main component obtained by dividing in this manner has sufficiently removed coloring components and salts, it is easy to concentrate and crystallize it as it is to obtain highly pure erythritol. It can be precipitated and recovered with a crystallization yield. That is, the fraction containing erythritol as the main component usually has a dissolved substance concentration of 3 to 30
Although it has a low concentration of about % by weight and contains glycerin as a side reaction product, this fraction can easily precipitate high-purity erythrile crystals by concentrating and crystallizing it. be able to. For example, after concentrating the same fraction until the dissolved substance concentration is 30 to 85% by weight,

It can be precipitated.

Since it can be easily separated, the fraction containing erythritol as a main component can be obtained as a fraction containing significantly less impurities.
