Abstract
Myo-inositol, referred to as vitamin B8, is an essential nutrient for maintaining human physiological functions. However, the morphology of myo-inositol products is predominantly powder or needle shaped, leading to poor food properties. In this work, three edible sugar additives, i.e. d-glucose, l-arabinose and d-fructose, are adopted in the crystallization of myo-inositol to improve its food properties. The results show that these additives change the morphology of myo-inositol crystals. d-glucose and l-arabinose reduced the aspect ratio of myo-inositol crystals, and d-glucose transformed elongated lamellar myo-inositol crystals into diamond-shaped lamellar crystals. The diamond-shaped lamellar myo-inositol products exhibited outstanding functional food properties. It offered a smoother texture and more pleasant mouthfeel when the products were added to infant formulas and nutraceuticals. When they were applied to functional beverages, the dissolution rate was increased by 35 %. This work provides a theoretical guidance for improving food properties through crystallization and possesses considerable potential for industrialization.
