METHOD FOR THE PREPARATION OF A STABLE LACTATE METAL SALT IN POWDER FORM AND STABLE METAL LACTATE SALT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the preparation of a stable lactate metal salt in powder form, the product of said preparation, functional pre-mixes for foodstuff comprising said stable , lactate metal salt powder, and foodstuffs comprising said stable lactate metal salt powder. In the method according to the invention, a concentrate that contains lactate metal salt is processed, with cooling, in a mixer/extruder to form a powder of the lactate metal salt and subsequently the powder of the lactate metal salt is partially encapsulated by means of an encapsulating agent. According to the invention the alkali metal lactates in powder form are storage stable for at least one year.
