Abstract
Solid saccharides are produced from an aqueous saccharide solution in a process, where the aqueous saccharide solution is admixed with a carrier liquid in which the saccharides are insoluble and that has a boiling point higher than that of water to obtain an aqueous admixture, and where the aqueous admixture is subjected to an evaporation step. The heat for the evaporation is at least partially supplied by a heated surface area to yield a vapor fraction including water and a residue fraction including solid saccharides and carrier liquid.
