ANTICAKING AGENTS FOR SUGAR REDUCTION IN POWDERED FOOD PRODUCTS

摘要

A water-soluble, generally-crystalline, mono- and/or dicalcium fumarate is included at a low level (less than 2% by weight) in a dry food mix, such as a powdered beverage mix. The calcium fumarate will have an average particle size of 35 microns or less and can function as an anticaking or flow agent. The per serving use level will be below that suitable for calcium fortification and is typically less than 50 mg per serving which is a mere 5% of the U.S. Percent Daily Value for calcium of 1,000 mg.
