Crystalline 4,1 ', 6'-trichloro-4,1', 6, -tridesoxygalactosaccharose, their use as a sweetening agent and sweetener containing the same

摘要

Crystalline 4,1',6'-trichloro-4,1',6'-trideoxy-galactosucrose exists as the orthorhombic anhydrous form and as the pentahydrate, both of which are more stable than amorphous TGS. Crystals are obtained from seeded aqueous solutions, above 38 DEG C. for the anhydrate; below 38 DEG C. for the pentahydrate.
