METHOD OF INSTANTIZING AMINO ACIDS

摘要

This disclosure describes a process for producing an instantized amino acid product and compositions including such instantized amino acid products. Generally, the process includes obtaining a particulate amino acid, coating the amino acid particles with an aqueous solution of a food grade gum, adhering two or more gum-coated amino acid particles to another to form an agglomerate of amino acid particles, drying the agglomerate, coating the agglomerate with an aqueous solution of a food grade surfactant, and drying the surfactant-coated agglomerate. In another aspect the process generally includes obtaining amino acid particles, coating the amino acid particles with an aqueous solution of a food grade surfactant, and drying the surfactant-coated amino acid particles. This disclosure also describes amino acid particles and agglomerates of amino acid particles.

1. A process for producing an instantized amino acid product comprising:
obtaining a particulate amino acid; coating the amino acid particles with an aqueous solution of a food grade gum; adhering at least one gum-coated amino acid particle to at least one other gum-coated amino acid particle, thereby forming an agglomerate of amino acid particles; drying the agglomerate; coating the agglomerate with an aqueous solution of a food grade surfactant; and drying the surfactant-coated agglomerate.
