Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a probiotic delivery system that can be consumed as a snack-food or added to a food product. In particular, the disclosure describes a crisp and tasty treat that comprises viable probiotic microorganisms preserved in a vacuum dried matrix of sugars, proteins, and polysaccharides. The probiotic remain viable within the treat for a longer time without the need for additional moisture barrier coating. The probiotic also remain viable in the animal gastrointestinal tract.
Abstract:
Provided are composite particles which exhibit excellent fluidity and high liquid retentivity and which exhibit high fluidity even in a liquid-holding sate. Also provided are composite particles which permit direct compressing in an open feed manner and which suffer from little compressing trouble and exhibit high shapability. When shaped together with an active ingredient, the composite particles provide shaped bodies which have uniform weight, uniform active ingredient content, and high hardness and which suffer from less galling.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for producing a granulated flavor, comprising: forcing a powdered flavor prepared from raw materials containing a flavor and a carrier to free-fall; conveying the powdered flavor with a horizontal screw to obtain a pressed powdered flavor; compacting the pressed powdered flavor with rollers to obtain a partially melted plated matter; cooling the plated matter; and grinding and granulating the cooled plated matter. According to the present invention, a granulated flavor is provided which releases flavor immediately when needed while the storage stability of the aroma is superior. The granulated flavor of the invention is less fragile and thus less likely to crumble upon transportation of the granulated flavor itself or of the food or beverage containing the granulated flavor. The granulated flavor as prepared above has a moisture content of 10% or less by weight and a hardness of 1 N/mm2-50 N/mm2.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Coating von körnigen bis pulverförmigen Materialien, insbesondere von Massenprodukten. Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, ein Verfahren zum Coating von körnigen bis pulverförmigen Materialien zu entwickeln, das kostengünstig für Massenprodukte einsetzbar ist und bei dem das Coatingprodukt kontinuierlich und in einer für Massenprodukte erforderlichen Qualität und Durchsatzmenge herstellbar ist. Erfindungsgemäß wird das dadurch erreicht, dass - das Coatingmaterial auf die körnigen bis pulverförmigen Materialteilchen in Form einer Coatingmatrix, bei dem keine vollständige Umhüllung der Materialteilchen mit Coatingmaterial erfolgt, aufgetragen und durch Prozessluft getrocknet und verfestigt wird, - das Coatingmaterial kontinuierlich in wenigstens zwei unterschiedlichen Bereichen auf die Materialschicht einer kontinuierlich betriebenen Wirbelschicht aufgetragen wird, - das Coatingmaterial in Form von Lösungen, Suspensionen oder Schmelzen mit einem Trockenstoffanteil von 0,5 bis 100%, vorzugsweise 2 bis 20%, auf die in der Wirbelschicht befindlichen Materialteilchen aufgetragen wird, - das Coatingmaterial anorganische Salze, Fette, Wachse, Zellulosen, Stearate, Metalle oder Metallverbindungen sind, - das die der Wirbelschicht zugeführte Zulufttemperatur für die Coatingsbereiche materialabhängig zwischen -20°C bis +300°C beträgt, - das Endprodukt kontinuierlich aus der Wirbelschicht ausgetragen wird.
Abstract:
The current invention relates to steam agglomeration of polyols. In a typical embodiment steam-agglomerated sorbitol powder is provided. The steam-agglomerated sorbitol is applicable in tablets and chewing gum cores. Tablets, chewing cores and hard-coated chewing gum are disclosed as well.
