  • Patent number: 10150819
    Abstract: An aqueous dispersion of fructan-containing particles, wherein the D50 of the fructan-containing particles lies between 2 ?m and 50 ?m and the solids content of the aqueous dispersion lies between 61 wt. % and 80 wt. %. Also described is a process for the preparation of an aqueous dispersion of fructan-containing particles comprising: bringing fructan and water together to form a mixture; optionally hydrolyzing a portion of the fructans in the mixture, such that at the end of this step between 5 wt. % and 25 wt. % of all fructans in the mixture are essentially non-soluble at room temperature; optionally bring the mixture into contact with a purification agent, followed by removal of the purification agent from the mixture; and concentrating the mixture such that the solids content lies between 61 and 80%.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20110020510
    Abstract: The invention relates to an aqueous dispersion of fructan-containing particles, wherein the D50 of the fructan-containing particles lies between 2 ?m and 50 ?m and the solids content of the aqueous dispersion as a whole lies between 61 wt. % and 80 wt. %. The invention further relates to a process for the preparation of an aqueous dispersion of fructan-containing particles, comprising: a) the step of bringing fructan and water together to form a mixture; b) optionally a hydrolysis step, wherein a portion of the fructans in the mixture is hydrolysed, such that at the end of this step b) between 5 wt. % and 25 wt.
