The purpose of the present invention is to provide a process for producing a solid material from a saccharide liquid and to provide a solid material of the saccharide solution.The present invention provides a process for producing an isomaltulose-containing solid material from a saccharide solution comprising isomaltulose, wherein a sucrose solution is subjected to action of an enzyme which produces isomaltulose from sucrose to prepare the saccharide solution comprising isomaltulose. The process comprises steps: (a) causing isomaltulose to crystallize to obtain crystals having a median diameter of 5 to 60 µm in said saccharide solution, wherein the median diameter is determined by laser diffraction particle size distribution measurement, and (b) spray-drying the saccharide solution containing the isomaltulose crystals at an air temperature of 50 to 95 degrees Celsius to obtain said solid material. The present invention provides a solid material comprising isomaltulose of an amount of 70 to 90 mass% and non-crystalline saccharide solution. The solid material is in a spherical form.
