COATED BENZOIC ACID OR BENZOATE SALT

摘要

The present invention relates to coated particles of benzoic acid or a salt thereof for use in food or feed, to a method for the preparation of such particles, and to methods for the improvement of the flowability and impairment of caking of particles of an organic agent as well as to a method for the reduction of dust in the handling of particles of an organic agent. To this end a coated particle comprises a flakes of benzoic acid or a salt thereof and an outer layer of a hydrocarbon composition wherein the hydrocarbon composition has a melting point below about 40°C. The present invention also relates to the use of these coated particles in food or feed and to food or feed compositions containing these coated particles.
