A method of preparing an amorphous mixture comprising one or more neutral mono- or oligosaccharides and one or more acidic non-carbohydrate components, comprising mixing the one or more acidic components and the one or more neutral mono- or oligosaccharides in an aqueous solution, then spray-drying or freeze-drying said aqueous solution to obtain the amorphous mixture comprising said one or more neutral mono- or oligosaccharides and said one or more acidic non-carbohydrate components, wherein the stability of the one or more neutral mono- or oligosaccharides in the amorphous mixture is greater than the stability of an amorphous substance consisting of the one or more neutral mono- or oligosaccharides.
