The invention provides a method for preparing eutectic
xylitol, which can solve the problems of complex process caused by easy absorption of
moisture and difficult storage and compression, inapplicability for preparing gum confection and tabletting, high equipment
investment cost,
high energy consumption, and frequent and difficult cleaning because crystals are easily adhered to the surface of a
machine in the prior art. The invention adopts the technical scheme that the method comprises the following steps: firstly, preparing
xylitol solution according to the steps of hydrolyzing, primary refining, primary
evaporation and concentration, secondary refining, secondary
evaporation and concentration, hydrogenation, refining and concentration; then mixing
sorbitol solution and the
xylitol solution, concentrating the mixture in vacuum, and
smelting and crystallizing the mixture in a double-conical
powder mixing crystallizer; and
drying, crushing, screening and packing the mixture. The eutectic xylitol overcomes the defects of easy
moisture absorption and difficult compression of the xylitol, is more suitable for preparing the gum confection and tabletting, expands the application rangeof the xylitol, and has better economic benefit and social meanings.
