STABILIZED BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE COMPOUNDS CONTAINED IN COATED MICROGRANULES WHICH CAN BE SUSPENDED IN ALIMENTARY FLUIDS

摘要

A method to protect biactive compounds and microorganisms from inactivation in the gastric tract as well as in foods. The method involves preparation and coating of a multiplicity of microgranules containing the compounds or microorganisms. The microgranules are generally smaller than 500 mu m and have physical characteristics that permit homogeneous filming as well as ready suspension after coating in common foodstuffs such as milk and milk products and fruit juices.
