The invention relates to a method for producing a powder containing xylitol crystal particles and another polyol comprising a mixture containing a xylitol syrup and another polyol, whose dry material content is equal to or greater than 95 % by weight, xylitol content ranges from 85 to 97.5 % by weight and the other polyol content ranges at least from 15 to 2.5 % by weight with respects to the dry material, wherein the inventive method consists in obtaining said mixture by simultaneously dispersing the xylitol and the other polyol syrup and xylitol-containing germs in an open rotating vessel containing xylitol-based granules, in mixing the xylitol and the other polyol syrup and xylitol-containing germs on the surface of the xylitol-containing germs contained in the vessel, in removing the xylitol-based granules and the other polyol from the vessel and in crystallising the xylitol and other polyol contained in said granules, wherein the xylitol-based granules and the other polyol in the vessel are movable by the vessel rotation. |
