Abstract: The present invention relates to maltooligosaccharides, the content of ?-1,4-glycosidic bonds of which is between 70% and 80% of the total number of 1,4-type glycosidic bonds. The invention also relates to the method for manufacturing these maltooligosaccharides. Said maltooligosaccharides afford all the benefits of fiber-based foods, with an extremely low nutritional value. Such a compromise is particularly advantageous for use in healthy balanced diets, but also in the treatment and/or prevention of the pathology of diabetes. The invention also relates to the use of said maltooligosaccharides in the fields of human food and animal feed.

Abstract: A process for producing a composition which is particularly rich in D-mannitol, the latter being present in the form of crystals having a volume average diameter greater than 20 pm, wherein the crystals correspond to a very large extent to the ? polymorph. This process makes use of the evaporative crystallization technique, in which the seeding and then the controlled growth of the crystals is carried out at different evaporation rates. Finally, very pure ? crystals are advantageously obtained, which have a better compressibility than the ? and ? homologues thereof and which, by virtue of the sizes thereof, result in a powder which is not subject to caking.

Abstract: A powder of cold-soluble polysaccharide and polyol, which is highly viscous in water and suitable for direct compression, and a method for preparing the powder and uses thereof are described, the powder being notably intended for preparing solid forms with controlled release of an active principle.
