Title:
微量栄養素組成物及びその製造方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3556689
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
Substantially dry micronutrient compositions comprise up to 15% by weight of a micronutrient, a binding amount of a binder, and a densifying amount of a densifying agent of particle size from approximately 40 mesh to approximately 325 mesh, and have a tapped density of from about 0.7 g/cm<3> to about 1.2 g/cm<3>, whereby the densifying agent is substantially coated with the micronutrient and the binder. The process for producing the compositions includes the steps of dissolving or dispersing appropriate amounts of the micronutrient and the binder in water, suspending an appropriate amount of the densifying agent in the so-obtained solution or dispersion and spray drying the resulting suspension, optionally in the presence of silicon dioxide, to produce the desired micronutrient composition. The invention also embraces the suspension. The substantially dry micronutrient compositions of the invention feature a considerably higher density than conventional micronutrient compositions.
