In the fourth aspect of the present invention, the solid content concentration is 76 to 80% by adding one or a mixture of water, sugar aqueous solution and maltitol aqueous solution to the prepared mask. The method for producing a highly fluid mixed powder composition of sugar and maltitol according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein the viscosity of the musket is reduced by adjusting the above.

Further, the fifth aspect of the present invention is the invention according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, wherein the first step and the second step are continuously carried out.

First, the first step of the present invention will be described.

The maltitol used in the present invention is required to have a quality capable of producing a maltitol mass kit in a good condition under the conditions of the present invention, but a high purity prepared by subjecting a starch liquefaction liquid to ordinary saccharification conditions. Maltitol obtained by reducing maltose has a purity of 85 to 99.9% and a solid content of 70 to 9
0%, more preferably 73 to 80%, most preferably 7
An aqueous solution of 5 to 78% generally satisfies the quality required for the present invention, but maltotriitol, maltotetriitol and the like having similar molecular weights tend to inhibit the crystal formation of maltitol. Those having a small amount of the component are preferable.

However, in the method of the present invention, when preparing a musket from a mixed aqueous solution of maltitol and sugar, a higher purity of maltitol is required because of the difficulty of precipitating crystals and the like. Purity 90-9
Maltitol with a purity of 9.9%, more preferably 95-99.9% should be employed.

The sugar used in the present invention is preferably a high-purity sugar having a quality that facilitates production of a sugar mass kit when the present invention is carried out, but commercially available granulated sugar, white sugar, coarse sugar, etc. are all 99 Since it has an extremely high purity of at least%, it can be advantageously used in the present invention.

One of the important points in carrying out the present invention is that
The point is to prepare a maltitol musket and a sugar musket, and in particular, in order to prepare an advantageous maltitol musket for carrying out the present invention, heating the maltitol aqueous solution to 100 ° C. or higher once After a low saturation degree of less than 0.8 so that no crystal embryo remains, the concentration is 70 to 90%, more preferably 76.
To 79%, and if necessary, seed crystals are added, and fine maltitol crystals are generated by a method such as stirring while cooling, and the crystals are 5 to 50% in the aqueous solution, more preferably 5 to 50%. It is advantageously used in the present invention by stirring for about 5 to 10 hours while controlling the temperature so as to prevent the further generation and growth of crystals in the range of 35% and maintaining the saturation degree at about 1.0. A maltitol mass kit is obtained.

In addition, when the maltitol mass kit is prepared, the crystals may become too large due to the effect of slow cooling, etc., and as a result, the amount of crystals may be insufficient and the crystallization of the spray dryer may be difficult to proceed. However, in order to avoid this, it is essential to cool the maltitol aqueous solution quickly.

Further, when the viscosity becomes high, it is possible to add water or an aqueous solution of maltitol with sufficient stirring to reduce the solid content concentration in order to transport the mass kit and obtain a spray-dried product of excellent quality. It can be advantageously employed.

When preparing a sugar musket, sugar has a high crystallization rate and tends to grow into single crystals. Therefore, an aqueous sugar solution concentrated to a solid content concentration of 75 to 85% is heated to 100 ° C. or higher. After decreasing the degree of saturation, seed crystals are added as needed, and fine sugar crystals are produced by stirring while cooling, etc., and the amount of crystals suspended in the aqueous solution is in the range of 5 to 35%. When the temperature reaches 1, the temperature is adjusted so that no more crystals are formed and grow, and the saturation is 1.
By stirring the mixture for about 5 to 10 hours while maintaining it at about 0, the sugar mass kit advantageously used in the present invention can be obtained.

Next, a method for preparing a musket from a mixed aqueous solution of sugar and maltitol will be described.

In the case of this method, the purity is 90 to 99.9%,
More preferably, 95 to 99.9% of maltitol is adopted, but the solid content ratio of maltitol and sugar is 10: 9.
A mixed aqueous solution in the range of 0 to 21:79 is prepared and the concentration is 80
~ 87% concentrated, once heated to 100 ℃ or more to reduce the saturation, then the temperature 10 ~ 20 ℃, preferably 13 ~ 2
By rapidly cooling to 0 ° C., adding and diluting seed crystals of sugar and / or maltitol as needed with moderately strong stirring, and further gently stirring for 5 to 10 hours to precipitate fine crystals. A mixture kit can be obtained.

Next, the second step of the present invention will be described.

When the maltitol mass kit and the sugar mass kit are separately prepared and then introduced into the spray dryer,
The introduction ratio of maltitol mass kit is 10 to 2 in terms of solid content.
1% by weight, the introduction ratio of sugar mass kit is 79-
Keeping the ratio of 90% by weight, mix both mass kits immediately before entering the spray dryer, or mix each mass kit into the spray dryer and then mix at the inlet such as an atomizer. Is adjusted to a range of 30 to 90 ° C., and the solid content ratio of each component is adjusted to the above range, to obtain a product having relatively low hygroscopicity and to obtain a market with a high fluidity and uniform composition. It is preferable because it satisfies the required quality.

When spray-drying the musket prepared from the mixed aqueous solution of sugar and maltitol in the first step of the present invention, the solid content ratio of sugar and maltitol is adjusted beforehand at the aqueous solution stage. Therefore, the mass kit is introduced into the equipment as it is, and the blast temperature in the spray dryer is 30 to 90 ° C.
The present invention can be carried out by operating while adjusting the range.

Further, the method of introducing the musket into the spray dryer is not particularly limited as long as it is a method adopted in ordinary spray drying, but a method in which an atomizer is provided above the spray dryer is used. The condition is easier to control than that of the nozzle type, and when the blowing temperature is lower than 30 ° C., the drying effect is insufficient and water is often left over.
When a temperature higher than 0 ° C. is adopted, a large amount of glassy mixed solution of maltitol and sugar may be formed, or powder once generated may be melted.

Thus, when the second step of the present invention is carried out, the powder when dropped to the bottom of the dryer has a water content of 2 to 7%.
It is dried until, but surprisingly, leaving this water causes crystallization to proceed in the subsequent steps,
This is effective in obtaining products with stable quality.

Further, in order to obtain a product according to the present invention having stable quality, the powder after spray drying is heated at a temperature of 25 to 65 ° C.
It is also possible to advantageously employ a method in which the aging is carried out while keeping the above range, and then drying is carried out by a known method.

The spray dryer used in the present invention has a large diameter because the mass kit obtained by carrying out the present invention is difficult to spray-dry, and a product having high fluidity is obtained. However, specifically, those having a diameter of 5 meters or more, and more preferably 8 meters or more can be advantageously used.

As described above, since the manufacturing process of the present invention is completed in a relatively short time, there is no need for mechanically strong heating or strong kneading such as the kneader method, and a special structure having a complicated structure is used. It is an economically advantageous method because no special equipment is required, and the product obtained by passing through the method of the present invention has extremely high fluidity, and the components are biased due to vibration during transportation or storage. Therefore, there is an advantageous feature that the properties, tastes, effects, etc. do not vary when used for various purposes.

Further, since the product obtained by the present invention has lower hygroscopicity than conventional products, it also has an advantageous property that it is unlikely to cause solidification during storage.
