  • Patent number: 6841183
    Abstract: N-[N-[3-(2-hydroxy-substituted phenyl)propyl]-L-?-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester derivatives, which are useful as sweeteners, may be conveniently produced by subjecting a 2-hydroxychroman derivative having various substituents on the benzene ring and aspartame to a reductive alkylation reaction. These compounds may be purified by subjecting such a derivative containing one or more impurities to a crystallization step to crystallize the same. Further, there are provided a process for producing dialkoxychroman derivatives useful as intermediates for the production of such aspartame derivatives in the above process, and novel dialkoxychroman derivatives thus produced, which are excellent as the production intermediate.

  • Patent number: 6538133
    Abstract: Herein are disclosed a process for producing xylitol of high purity (one-step desalting process) which comprises the steps of (1) removing the solid matter from a culture froth obtained by culturing a xylitol-producing microorganism in an aqueous culture medium, (2) desalting the resulting solid matter-removed culture broth by removing the ionic substances therefrom by means of a cation-exchange resin and an anion-exchange resin, (3) subjecting the resulting desalted solution to the chromatography using a strongly acidic cation-exchange resin to separate the xylitol from the other sugar alcohol(s) and sugar(s), and (4) obtaining the xylitol by separating it at a high purity from the resulting xylitol solution (fraction), and to a similar process (two-step desalting process) but wherein the desalting carried out twice by adding the ion-exclusion step between Steps (1) and (2) of the above-mentioned process, whereby most of the ionic substances are removed, by which processes highly pure xylitol can be obtained
