Abstract
A method of purifying cyclitols, particularly inositol, from mixtures including simple and complex carbohydrates begins by reducing the concentration of carbohydates other than cyclitols to facilitate separation and crystallization of the cyclitol in high purity. This separation can be achieved by separating carbohydrates on a chromatographic column then concentrating and crystallizing cyclitol from selected fractions.
