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
The method of claim 1, which further comprises, at prior to heating said moistened saccharide granules, said moistened saccharide granules are admixed with at least one substance selected from the group consisting of phosphoric acid salts, gums, defatted powdered milk and sodium caseinate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said moistened saccharide granules are prepared by admixing a sufficient amount of water with the granules to attain a moisture content of 1-20 wt. %.
