    摘要: The invention relates to a continuous method for obtaining a crystalline monosaccharide, comprising: continuous crystallization of the monosaccharide in a main crystallizer (10), wherein crystallization by evaporation and/or crystallization by cooling is carried out continuously on a crystal suspension in the main crystallizer in order to allow crystals of the monosaccharide to grow in the crystal suspension; separation of crystals of the monosaccharide out of the crystal suspension to obtain crystalline monosaccharide; continuous formation of a mass of crystallization magma for the main crystallizer (10) in a cascade, wherein the cascade comprises at least one first stage (13) and a final stage (15) connected in series and each stage comprises at least one pre-crystallizer (13A, 15A), wherein, in the at least one pre-crystallizer (13A) of the first stage (13), a solution is seeded with monosaccharide by means of monosaccharide seed crystals in order to obtain a pre-crystallization magma, and a mass of crystallization magma for the downstream stage (14, 15) is formed from the pre-crystallization magma by means of crystallization by cooling and/or crystallization by evaporation, and wherein a solution containing monosaccharide and a mass of crystallization magma from the upstream stage is supplied to the at least one pre-crystallizer (15A, 15B, 15C) of the final stage (15) to obtain a pre-crystallization magma, and in the at least one pre-crystallizer (15A, 15B, 15C) of the final stage (15) a mass of crystallization magma for the main crystallizer (10) is formed from the pre-crystallisation magma by means of crystallization by cooling and/or crystallization by evaporation; the continuous supply of a solution containing the monosaccharide and a mass of crystallization magma from the at least one pre-crystallizer (15A, 15B, 15C) of the final stage (15) of the cascade to the main crystallizer (10) to provide the crystal suspension.

    摘要: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a solid allulose material comprising crystalline allulose, the method comprising the steps of (a) providing in an evaporating crystallizer an aqueous mother liquor containing dissolved allulose; (b) maintaining, preferably until the end of crystallization, the aqueous mother liquor within the evaporating crystallizer at a crystallization temperature within the range of from 20 to 80° C.; (c) maintaining, preferably until the end of crystallization, the vapor phase above the aqueous mother liquor within the evaporating crystallizer at a crystallization pressure within the range of from 40 to 500 mbar; and (d) inducing crystallization of allulose from the aqueous mother liquor at the crystallization temperature and at the crystallization pressure in a supersaturated state thereby obtaining the solid allulose material as a precipitate and a supernatant.
