Abstract
Subject of the invention is a method for the production of a carnitine granulate, which includes the steps of (a) providing an aqueous solution comprising at least 65% (w/w) carnitine, (b) providing a particulate carrier comprising silica, the carrier having an average particle size of more than 150 μm, and (c) mixing the aqueous solution and the carrier. Another subject of the invention is a carnitine granulate.
Claims15
A carnitine granulate, prepared by the process comprising the steps of
- (a) providing an aqueous solution comprising at least 65% (w/w) carnitine,
- (b) providing a particulate carrier comprising silica, the carrier having an average particle size of more than 150 μm, and
- (c) mixing the aqueous solution and the carrier,
- whereby a drying step is excluded.
A carnitine granulate having an average particle size of more than 150 μm, wherein the carnitine granulate has an angle of repose below 35° and a Hausner ratio of not more than 1.18.
