Abstract: It was impossible to prepare a granular product composed only of fine erythritol powders by using conventional erythritol having a particle diameter on the order of 100 ?m. Spherical erythritol granules for direct compression obtained by granulating, drying, and sieving 100% erythritol ultrafine powders having an average particle diameter of from 0.4 ?m to 23 ?m while spraying ethanol alcohol thereon. In the present invention, pherical erythritol granules for direct compression are obtained by granulating, drying, and sieving 100% erythritol ultrafine powders having an average particle diameter of from 0.4 ?m to 23 ?m while spraying ethanol alcohol thereon.
