Readily-dispersible, Hydrocolloid containing agglomerates and process therefor.

摘要

Fine particles of hydrocolloid material, such as pregelatinized starch or pectin, are sprayed with a water solution of a wetting agent, such as triacetin or glycerol, and then agglomerated, such as in a fluidized bed agglomerator. The agglomerates produced are friable in nature and disperse easily in cold liquids. Starch agglomerates are useful in instant pudding mixes.
