Abstract
The present invention relates a process of production of beadlets comprising at least one hop acid salt in a matrix comprising at least one protein, to such beadlets and to the use of such specific beadlets in feed as well as in feed premixes.
Claims15
Process for preparing beadlets, which comprise at least one hop acid salt, comprising:
- (a) forming an aqueous solution of
- (i) at least a hop acid salt and
- (ii) at least one protein or protein mixture,
- (b) adjusting the pH of the solution to pH greater than 9
- (c) converting the solution into a dry powder by spray drying into a collecting powder.
2 more elements
Beadlets comprising
- (i) 10 wt-% to 15 wt-%, based on the total weight of the beadlets, of at least one hop acid salt, and
- (ii) 50 wt-% to 85 wt-%, based on the total weight of the beadlets, of at least one protein from a plant source such as peas, soya, castor beans, cotton, lupins, potatoes, sweet potatoes, manioc, rapeseed, sunflowers, sesame, linseed, safflower, lentils, nuts, wheat, rice, maize, barley, rye, oats and sorghum, an animal source such as blood, bones, skin, milk and eggs, or a microbial source such as bacteria and yeasts, and
- (iii) 5 wt-% to 20 wt-%, based on the total weight of the beadlets, of powder coating chosen from the group consisting of starches (preferably corn starch), silicate and phosphate compounds.
