The present invention relates to a free-flowing low-calorie sweetener composition and a method for producing the same, and more specifically, the physical properties of α-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester and its use as a high-intensity sweetener. The present invention relates to a free-flowing low-calorie sweetener composition containing α-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester, which has improved drawbacks and is easy to handle, and a method for producing the same. α-L-Aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester (hereinafter abbreviated as APM) is a low-calorie sweetener with good sweetness, but it is a powder with fine crystals, low bulk specific gravity, and poor fluidity. It has disadvantages in physical properties. Furthermore, if you try to use the powder as a tabletop for coffee, tea, etc., it is about 200 times sweeter than sucrose, so you will need to adjust the amount very slightly, which is also a problem. . Therefore, operations such as tableting or granulation are performed with bulking agents such as polysaccharides, lactose, and sucrose, along with water and binders.
Various methods have been proposed to improve the physical properties of APM as a powder and to make it easier to adjust the sweetness level. However, in these methods,
Since APM is unstable to heat and moisture, it tends to lose sweetness, and it also requires special processes and equipment for tabletting and granulation. In order to solve these problems in the use of APM, the inventors of the present invention made extensive studies and found that by simply mixing granulated sucrose and finely powdered APM, granulated sucrose can be produced. fine powder on the surface of
The inventors have completed the present invention by discovering that it is possible to obtain an easy-to-handle low-calorie sweetener composition in which APM adheres evenly and has significantly improved physical properties such as fluidity. That is, in the present invention, the outside of granulated sucrose is formed into a fine powder.
A free-flowing low-calorie sweetener composition coated with APM and a method for producing the same are provided. Fine powder used as one raw material in the present invention
If the particle size of APM is too large, it will be difficult for APM to adhere uniformly to the surface of granulated sucrose. Therefore, the particle size of APM is preferably smaller for the purpose of the present invention, and is generally 100μ or less, preferably 50μ or less,
More preferably, it is 10μ or less. The sucrose used as the other raw material of the present invention is
For the purposes of the present invention, it is necessary that it be in granular form. APM attached if its particle size is too small
The fluidity of the particles is poor, and if they are too large, the surface area of the sucrose particles will be small, and the amount of APM attached will also be reduced. The size of the sucrose particles therefore generally ranges from 0.01 mm to 3 mm, preferably from 0.05 mm to 2 mm, more preferably from 0.1 mm to 1 mm. In the present invention, the mixing ratio of finely powdered APM and granulated sucrose is such that if the proportion of finely powdered APM is too high, the fluidity of the mixed and prepared composition will be poor.
If the ratio is too low, the purpose as a low-calorie sweetener cannot be achieved. Therefore, the usual mixing ratio is 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of finely powdered APM and 99.9 to 90 parts by weight of granulated sucrose, preferably 0.25 to 7 parts by weight of finely powdered APM and 99.75 to 93 parts by weight of granulated sucrose. More preferably, the amount of finely powdered APM is 0.5 to 5 parts by weight and the granulated sucrose is 99.5 to 95 parts by weight. An edible third component may be added as long as it does not significantly impair the physical properties and/or taste of these low-calorie sweeteners. The method of mixing finely powdered APM and granulated sucrose is not particularly limited, and a conventional mixer may be used. As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily obtain a free-flowing low-calorie sweetener composition in which the powder physical properties of APM are significantly improved and the sweetness is suitably diluted. can. The present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples below. Example 1 Powdered APM with an average particle size of 1 to 10 μm and granulated sucrose with an average particle size of 0.1 to 1 mm (Nippon Beet Sugar Co., Ltd.)
Granulated sugar) were mixed at different mixing ratios, and the angle of repose of the resulting compositions was measured using a Howuda Tester (manufactured by Hosokawa Iron Works Co., Ltd.). The results are shown in Table 1.

% or less, it has good fluidity and is very easy to handle, and the fine powder APM adheres uniformly to the surface of the granulated sucrose. When the APM content exceeds 10%, the number of APM particles that can no longer adhere to the surface of the sucrose particles increases rapidly, and the fluidity of the composition deteriorates accordingly.
