    Abstract: PURPOSE:To prepare a granular dipeptide sweetener having high purity and excellent fluidity and solubility by spray-drying a slurry of a dipeptide sweetener without using a crushing operation, granulating the dried product and, as necessary, further drying the granules. CONSTITUTION:A slurry liquid containing crystals of an alpha-L-aspartyl-L- phenylalanine lower alkyl ester is spray-dried to obtain a dried product having extremely poor fluidity and containing a large amount of fusiform fine powder of

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To racemize the title compound useful as a synthetic raw material for peptide rapidly and efficiently without adding another catalyst such as acid, by selectively racemizing an optically active alpha-amino acid ester in a polar solvent in the presence of peptide or a derivative thereof. CONSTITUTION:An optically active alpha-amino acid ester is selectively racemized in a polar solvent (e.g., ketone or methyl isobutyl ketone) in the presence of peptide or a derivative thereof (e.g., N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-aspartyl-L- phenylalanine or an aliphatic lower alkyl ester thereof). The amount of the peptide or the derivative thereof added is >=about 0. 1mol, preferably about 0.5-about 5 mol based on 1 mol optically active alpha-amino acid ester. The racemization is carried out under heating at about 40-200 deg.C, preferably 90 deg.C-200 deg.C.
