Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a novel process to prepare a solid product containing an oil-soluble substance (e.g. oil and fat, spice, flavor, vitamin, emulsifier, hormone, higher fatty acid, unsaponifiable substance and complex lipid), comprising adding to an oil-soluble liquid substance an aqueous maltose solution along with a maltose seed, and crystallizing beta-maltose hydrate to effect solidification of the mixture.
