CRYSTALLINE ACTIVE INGREDIENT DRIED WITH SPRAY DRYING Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A23L1/00 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry. A method provides for mixing of a crystalline active ingredient with a derivative of starch in the amount of 7 wt % to 25 wt % to total weight of the mixture prior to spray drying, the second carrier material and xanthane gum before a suspension, a dispersion or a solution of the active ingredient is formed. The crystalline active ingredient has a speed of dilution in water without any mixing at the temperature of 25°C during more than 15 minutes at concentration of the active ingredient of 14 ppm. The mixture is homogenised under pressure of at least 4000 pounds per square inch (2.758×10⁷ Pa), and the homogenised mixture is subject to spray drying. The active ingredient obtained by spray drying has an increased speed of dilution in water in comparison to a non-encapsulated active ingredient.

EFFECT: invention allows improving a speed of dilution of an active ingredient.
