Abstract
The problems in crystallization of .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester, namely, problems in crystal slurry properties in solid-liquid separation, scaling at heat transfer surfaces, and the like, are solved by a method for crystallization of .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester which comprises cooling a solution of .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester by indirect heat exchange with a coolant while stirring, wherein the solution is cooled by circulating a coolant while continuously adding an aqueous solution of .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester dropwise to a crystallizing solution of .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester having a temperature difference of not greater than 20.degree. C. from the coolant, thereby to keep a temperature difference of not greater than 20.degree. C. between the coolant and the crystallizing solution.
