Abstract
Solid fructose, typically with a bulk density of less than 0.65 g/ml and in the form of particles of agglomerated microcrystals of anhydrous fructose in which all the crystals have a maximum dimension of less than 50 microns, can be produced by dispersing a high Brix fructose syrup at very high shear in an alcoholic medium, the alcoholic medium being one in which fructose is 1 to 10 wt % soluble at the temperature at which the syrup is dispersed in the alcoholic medium.
