The invention relates to a substantially dry, substantially free-flowing fine product comprising sucrose or a sucrose-containing mixture, prepared by grinding the crystalline sucrose or mixture containing crystalline sucrose substantially autogenously in a counterjet mill employing as a carrier gas air the pressure and temperature of which are regulated to minimize formation of amorphous sucrose, and classifying the ground product to a mean particle size of 5-25 mu m. The invention also relates to a process for preparing such a fine product and to the use of the product to prepare chocolate or icing, a chocolate or truffle filling, chewing-gum and fondant, for fillings and coatings of bakery products and as seed crystals in the sugar industry. |
