<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a doubly coated granule which has ≤2 mm particle diameter and with which the internal absorption of water-soluble vitamins is improved. <P>SOLUTION: The doubly coated granule comprises (A) a core material of one or more kinds selected from the group of the water-soluble vitamins having ≤2 mm particle diameter and consisting of vitamin C, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, niacin, folic acid, pantothenic acid and biotin, (B) the first coating material of one or more kinds selected from an alcohol-soluble protein comprising zein and gluten, a thickening and stabilizing agent comprising pullulan, gelatin, xanthan gum, gum arabic and sodium caseinate, and a material of a gelatinizing agent comprising agar, gellan gum and carrageenan and exhibiting slightly water-soluble property at normal temperature, and (C) the second coating material of a hardened oil having ≥40°C melting point. The doubly coated granule is obtained by coating the core material of the component A with the first coating material of the component B, and further coating the coated product with the second coating material of the component C so as to form the most outer layer. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
