Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
55 words
A method for preparing porous saccharide granules, comprising: (a) moistening saccharide granules to a moisture content of 1 to 20 wt. % water thereby forming moistened saccharide granules which maintain the form of granules; and (b) heating said moistened saccharide granules to a temperature between 100° C. and 140° C. sufficient to crystallize said granules.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
55 words
A method for preparing porous saccharide granules, comprising: (a) moistening saccharide granules to a moisture content of 1 to 20 wt. % water thereby forming moistened saccharide granules which maintain the form of granules; and (b) heating said moistened saccharide granules to a temperature between 100° C. and 140° C. sufficient to crystallize said granules.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
