Abstract
A method of forming a low moisture block with cold flow resistance proceeds by subjecting a feed mixture containing molasses-like liquids to mixing to form a homogenous mixture; dehydrating the molasses-like mixture to less than about 2.0% moisture using heating; adding to the dehydrated molasses-like liquid mixture one or more feed ingredients in dry ingredient form, comprising 10% to 50% by weight of the resulting mixture; and adding to the dehydrated molasses-like mixture a composition comprising CaO or reactive MgO or combinations thereof, with the composition comprising 0.1% to 10% by weight of the resulting mixture. The composition is mixed in to form a homogenous mixture.

A method of forming a low moisture block with cold flow resistance comprising:
- subjecting a feed composition containing liquids comprising one or more of cane molasses, beet molasses, condensed separator by-products (CSB), separator molasses solubles (SMS), soy molasses, molasses, lactose whey, liquid sources of mono-, di- or polysaccharides, and any combination thereof to mixing to form a first mixture;
- dehydrating the first mixture to less than about 2.0% moisture to form a second mixture;
- adding to the second mixture i) or more feed ingredients in dry ingredient form and ii) a composition comprising at least one of CaO, reactive MgO, ZnO, MnO, FeO, CuO, CuO2 or combinations thereof to form a third mixture, wherein the third mixture comprises between 10% to 50% by weight of the one or more feed ingredients and between 0.1% to 10% by weight of the composition;
- wherein the addition of the composition is performed before sugar crystallization occurs and forms the low moisture block with cold flow resistance.

- preparing a feed composition containing liquids comprising one or more of cane molasses, beet molasses, condensed separator by-products (CSB), separator molasses solubles (SMS), soy molasses, molasses, lactose whey, liquid sources of mono-, di- or polysaccharides, and any combination thereof;
- dehydrating the feed composition to less than about 2.0% moisture to form a dehydrated mixture;
- adding to the dehydrated mixture i) or more feed ingredients in dry ingredient form and ii) a composition comprising CaO, reactive MgO or combinations thereof to form a resulting mixture, wherein addition of the composition is performed before sugar crystallization,
- wherein the one or more feed ingredients in dry ingredient form comprises between 10% to 50% by weight of the resulting mixture;
- and
- wherein the composition comprises between 0.1% to 10% by weight of the resulting mixture.
