Abstract
A novel dehydration method using anhydrous glycosylfructose as the desiccant is disclosed. Anhydrous glycosylfructose is converted to the crystalline hydrate and acts as the desiccant when incorporated into a hydrous matter. Natural saccharides such as palatinose, raffinose, erlose, and melezitose can be used. The dehydration is applicable to hydrous matters, such as those of foods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and their materials and intermediates.
