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 anhydrous maltose (e.g. anhydrous crystalline alpha-maltose, anhydrous crystalline beta-maltose and anhydrous amorphous maltose) along with water, and crystallizing beta-maltose hydrate in the mixture.
