Abstract
The present invention relates to a solid formulation comprising β-carotene with a high amount of a specific stereochemical form. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a process of production of such a specific formulation.
Claims14
Process for the production of a solid formulation comprising
- (i) b-carotene, and
- (ii) at least one hydrocolloid, and
- (iii) an antioxidant, and
- (iv) optionally at least one additional ingredient,
- (v) optionally a coating layer,
- characterised in that at least 55 weight-% (wt-%) of the b-carotene (based on the total weight of the b-carotene) is in the all-E form,
- wherein the liquid emulsion is spray-granulated in two steps:
- i) the preparation of seed material applying spray drying with an air inlet temperature of 160 to 190° C. and an air outlet temperature of 70° C.-100° C. and
- ii) the preparation of granules using a fluid bed processor.
