Abstract: A process is described for the separation of at least one inositol from a carob extract. The carob extract is filtered and demineralized, and has a Brix value greater than 60 and a pinitol content of 5 to 25 wt %. The carob extract is subjected to chromatographic separation which involves at least one passage on a chromatographic resin. This produces an aqueous solution comprising 35 to 70 wt % pinitol and a Brix value of 20 or lower. The aqueous solution is then purified to obtain a purified aqueous solution having a pinitol content of more than 55%.
