Abstract: Present invention relates to disclosure of application of some innovative techniques useful for substantially improving process efficiency of production of chlorinated sucrose including their intermediates and derivatives. Application of mild methods of drying has been made for recovery of chlorinated sucrose or their intermediates and derivatives, in substantially pure form or with other solid chemical impurities, obtained at various stages in the process of production of chlorinated sucrose. Mild methods of drying included agitated thin film drying, spray drying, freeze drying and super critical extraction. Use of alkoxides has been introduced for deacylation instead of alkali hydroxides or alkaline earth hydroxides. Deacylation has been shown to be effective both, either before or after drying of the reaction mixture. Extraction and purification of desired products i.e.

Abstract: A sweetener composition is described which augments full benefit of reduced calorific value associated through use of high intensity sweeteners as dominant sweetness contributors, and yet avoids problem of loss of favorable organoleptic properties associated with their use by incorporating sugars and other non-sugar low intensity sweeteners in small but an amount enough to provide a correction in organoleptic properties.
