PURPOSE: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a sugar crystal-containing liquid with good reproducibility, wherein crystallization is enhanced, it is unnecessary to add seed crystals which may affect the number of grains and a size of the crystals, and graining conditions are stable. CONSTITUTION: The present invention is a method for producing a sugar crystal-containing liquid, wherein the method comprises steps of preparing a liquid supersaturated with sugar; and applying a shearing force to the liquid, characterized in that the step of applying the shearing force comprises exerting a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure on the liquid to make the liquid pass through a narrow space.

Compositions and methods used in the modification of crystallization of aluminum hydroxide from liquor in an aluminum hydroxide production process, such as the Bayer process. More particularly, crystal growth modifier compositions comprising a component of crude corn oil derived from a bioethanol production process and/or a component of biodiesel and methods of using such compositions to modify particle size and distribution of precipitated alumina trihydrate in a precipitation liquor crystallization process.

A glucose in solid form containing a matrix phase and a plurality of carbohydrate crystals within said matrix phase, the matrix phase containing amorphous glucose and water, wherein the carbohydrate crystals comprise glucose and optionally one or more other carbohydrate(s), and optionally wherein the glucose in solid form is coated with a dry powder coating. The glucose in solid form may comprise at least 50 wt % dry substance (DS) glucose and may comprise one or more other carbohydrate(s) besides glucose. A method for manufacturing solidified glucose is also provided.
