Abstract
The present invention relates to compositions containing fat-soluble active ingredients and/or colorants in a matrix based on improved modified polysaccharides, i.e. modified polysaccharides where parts were separated, and to a process for preparing these compositions as well as to these improved modified polysaccharides themselves and a process for the manufacture thereof. The present invention further relates to the use of the compositions of this invention for the to enrichment, fortification and/or for the coloration of food, beverages, animal feed, cosmetics and pharmaceutical compositions and to such food, beverages, animal feed, cosmetics and pharmaceutical compositions themselves.
Claims31
Process for the manufacture of an improved modified polysaccharide comprising the following steps:
- a) preparing an aqueous solution or suspension of a modified polysaccharide, preferably having a dry mass content in the range of from 0.5 to 80 weight-%, based on the total weight of the aqueous solution or suspension, whereby the temperature of the water is preferably in the range of from 1 to <100° C.;
- b) separating parts of the modified polysaccharide in water at a temperature in the range of from 1 to <100° C.,
- c) optionally converting the thus obtained improved modified polysaccharide into a solid form.
A composition comprising
- i) at least an improved modified polysaccharide,
- ii) at least a fat-soluble active ingredient and/or a colorant, and
- iii) optionally at least an adjuvant and/or an excipient.
