<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mineral-bound starch composition, and to provide a method of preparing the same. <P>SOLUTION: Mineral-bound modified starch products and methods of preparing such products are disclosed herein. The starches are chemically cross-linked and bound to nutrient minerals. Useful minerals include, for example, aluminum, calcium, sodium, potassium, iron, iodine, zinc, magnesium, manganese, copper, chromium and nickel. The resultant starches exhibit rapid hydration in cold and hot water, and excellent emulsion stabilization characteristics. The starch products are advantageously used as delivery vehicles for minerals to enhance food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
