AGGLOMERATING SOLUBLE PARTICULATE MATERIALS: WETTED PARTICLES DEPOSITED ON AN ENDLESS SURFACE AND PASSED THROUGH A NIP

摘要

A particulate comestible material is agglomerated by forming a flowable phase on the particle surfaces, consolidating the particles by passing them through a nip and resolidifying the flowable phase. The color, texture and density may be adjusted by controlling the degree of consolidation and the conditions of flowable phase formation.
