The invention concerns improved sugar-free products, their production and use, in particular, coated products, their production and use. The products are characterized by their content in enriched mixtures of 1-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-D-mannitol (1,1-GPM) and 6-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol (1,6-GPS).
Claims2
A method for the production of a compressed material comprising
- providing an enriched mixture consisting of 1,6-GPS (6-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol) and 1,1-GPM (1-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-D-mannitol) in which the 1,6-GPS is 1% to less than 43% or more than 57% up to 99 wt % of said mixture, and
- compressing said mixture under a force of pressure of 20-70 kN and a specific force of pressure of 0.2 to 0.9 kN/mm2.
