A solid composition containing a monosaccharide or/and a disaccharide and an amino acid is stabilized by incorporating therein at least 40%, based on said amino acid, of a polysaccharide with a water content of not more than 3%.
Claims16
A powdery human food or animal feed composition stabilized against caking and browning which comprises a physical mixture of separate components of
- one or more sugars selected from the group consisting of monosaccharides and disaccharides and one or more amino acids, in which said amino acids and sugars are present in amounts sufficient to produce caking and browning, and,
- based on the content of said amino acids, at least 40% by weight of one or more polysaccharides, said polysaccharides having a water content of not more than 3%, said polysaccharides in said composition being in amounts sufficient to prevent both caking and browning.
A method of stabilizing a powdery human food or animal feed composition against caking and browning comprising one or more sugars selected from the group consisting of monosaccharides and disaccharides and one or more amino acids, in which said amino acids and sugars are present in amounts sufficient to produce caking and browning, which comprises incorporating in said powdery composition to form a physical mixture of separate components at least 40% by weight, based on the amino acid content, of one or more polysaccharides, said polysaccharides having a water content of not more than 3%, said polysaccharides in said composition being in amounts sufficient to prevent both caking and browning.
