Composition and methods including powder aggregates formed from tacking fine composition particles to agglomerates. The compositions provide powder aggregates where component segregation and dusting is reduced, and composition flow is improved. Embodiments can include a powder composition having an agglomeration greater than about 100 microns in diameter coated with a tacking agent; and a fine particle less than about 100 microns tacked to the agglomeration by the tacking agent. The agglomeration can be maltodextrin, flavorings, tea solids, and juice solids. The fine particles can be APM, Ace-k, sucralose, vitamins and minerals. The tacking agent can be acetylated monoglyceride, propylene glycol or a caprylic/capric triglyceride. Methods can include adding the agglomerate to a mixer; pouring the tacking agent directly over the agglomerate; mixing for approximately 1-4 minutes; adding the fine particle pre-blend component; and mixing the agglomerate component, tacking agent, and fine particle pre-blend component for approximately 1-4 minutes. |
