VITAMIN AND MINERAL ADDITIVES STABILITY ENHANCEMENT Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A23L1/302 A23L1/304 A61K9/20 A61K31/375 A61K33/00 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to food additives composition. The composition of a poly-vitamin and mineral food additive includes at least one polyvalent metal, at least one oxidable vitamin and waterless dicalcium phosphate; weakly-coupled water is essentially absent from the said composition. One proposes a method for production of the said composition as well as methods for reduction of spots occurrence (caused by oxidation) on the poly-vitamin and mineral pill and stabilisation of decomposition characteristics of pills containing the said composition. Alternatively, one proposes the composition of a poly-vitamin and mineral additive containing the daily dose of at least one vitamin chosen from the group including 15 - 600 mg of vitamin C, 20 - 200 ME of vitamin E, at least one ion of polyvalent metal, chosen from the group including 0 - 400 mg of magnesium, 0 - 50 mg of zinc, 0 -12 mg of manganese, 0 - 4 mg of cuprum, 0 -300 mkg of chrome, 0 - 18 mg of ferrum and 100 - 1500 mg of calcium. In the said additive at least a part of calcium is in the form of waterless dicalcium phosphate; the additive essentially is free of weakly-coupled water.

EFFECT: invention allows to reduce the process of decomposition of vitamin and mineral additives and enhance their stability.
