Abstract
Method of engineering supplement particles to have varying properties, optimally combining the supplement particles with an additive(s) into a formula, and converting the formula into a pod, via compaction or encapsulation; which may be further modified through coating. The pod may be dissolved into a beverage and/or eaten directly.
Claims19
A method of converting particles into a pod, wherein the particles include a plurality of particle types having a particular size distribution, and each particle type includes a plurality of particle layers, comprising:
- removing at least one particle layer from a first particle type to create a gap in the particle size distribution to form a modified first particle type, wherein the modified first particle type makes up at least 50% of the pod by dry weight;
- combining the modified first particle type with a second particle type to create a formula;
- and
- compacting the formula into a pod.
A method of converting particles into a pod, wherein the particles include a plurality of particle types having a particular size distribution, comprising:
- combining a first particle type with a second particle type to create a first formula, wherein the first formula has a bimodal or multimodal particle size distribution and makes up at least 50% of the pod by dry weight;
- adding a third particle type to the first formula to create a second formula;
- and
- compacting the second formula into a pod.
A method of converting particles into a pod, wherein the particles include a plurality of particle types having a particular size distribution, and each particle type includes a plurality of particle layers, comprising:
- removing at least one particle layer from a first particle type to create a gap in the particle size distribution to form a modified first particle type, wherein the modified first particle type makes up at least 50% of the pod by dry weight;
- resizing the particle layer to create a second particle type;
- combining the modified first particle type with the second particle type to create a first formula;
- combining the first formula with a third particle type to create a second formula;
- and
- compacting the second formula into a pod.
