2. Description of the Prior Art Calcium L-aspartate is used to improve tetany and tetany-related symptoms caused by hypocalcemia, calcium supplementation in metabolic bone diseases such as osteoporosis and osteomalacia, calcium supplementation during development, pregnancy and pregnancy. It is an active ingredient of medicine that is effective for supplementing calcium during breastfeeding and is currently sold in Japan. According to the Japanese Pharmacopoeia Standard, L-calcium aspartate (also called calcium L-aspartate) has the formula: The converted dehydrated product represented by the formula is L-aspartic acid
It contains 84.8-90.2% and calcium 12.5-13.4% and has a water content of 12.0-16.0%. Further, the same document describes various specifications of L-calcium aspartate such as properties, confirmation test, optical rotation, pH, purity test, quantitative method and storage method. Regarding L-calcium aspartate anhydrous, a method is known in which an aqueous L-calcium aspartate solution is prepared and then spray-dried (for example, Patent Document 1). However, this method cannot stably produce calcium L-aspartate of a certain quality with a purity high enough to be used as a medicine. Non-Patent Document 1 describes that L-calcium aspartate is recrystallized from its aqueous solution as a trihydrate and the physicochemical properties of the trihydrate. However, in this method, the crystal recovery rate is not high, and it is difficult to obtain a dried product of a certain purity because the crystals adhere to each other and solidify, and there is a problem in terms of working time and working efficiency. .

Example 2 To an aqueous solution of calcium L-aspartate (prepared from 37.5 g of L-aspartic acid, 8.25 g of calcium oxide and 470 g of water) was added dropwise 200 mL of 2-propanol at 35 ° C.
-Adding seed crystals of calcium aspartate trihydrate,
The mixture was gradually cooled to 18 ° C and stirred for 4 hours. The produced crystals were collected by filtration with a centrifuge to obtain L-calcium aspartate (yield 81%). As a result of the test, the obtained L-aspartic acid calcium was L-aspartic acid (dehydrated product) 85.9%, calcium (dehydrated product) 13.3%, water content 1
