A METHOD OF SUPPLEMENTING AN EDIBLE AQUEOUS LIQUID COMPOSITION WITH TWO OR MORE MINERAL SALTS

摘要

One aspect of the invention relates to a method for producing an edible aqueous liquid composition that has been supplemented with a first mineral selected from the group of metals consisting of calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, copper, iron, manganese and a second mineral, different from the first mineral, that is selected from the same group of metals. Another aspect of the present inventions relates to a reconstitutable powder containing: 0.01-3 mmole of the first mineral per gram of powder; 0.02-4 mmole of the second mineral per gram of powder; 0.02-8 mmole of acid per gram of powder, said acid being selected from the group consisting of citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, phosphoric acid and combinations thereof; 0.02-0.99 g of soy protein per gram of powder; and less than 10 wt. % of water. The reconstitutable powder is characterised in that 25 grams of the powder can be reconstituted with 1 kg of water to yield an edible aqueous liquid that will not form a salt sediment of the first and/or second mineral when stored under ambient, quiescent conditions for 3 months or longer.
