COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF PREPARING AMINO ACID CHELATES AND COMPLEXES

摘要

Compositions and methods of preparing amino acid chelates and complexes without added water are disclosed. In certain embodiments, the compositions prepared are free of interfering ions, and optionally, electrically neutral. More particularly, by blending an amino acid ligand and a hydrated metal sulfate salts ( and optionally calcium oxide, calcium hydroxide, and/or reaction modifiers), placing the blend in a substantially closed environment, heating the blend, and allowing the blend to react, such compositions can be formed.
