Abstract: Dietetic formulations for oral use are described, made up of compact pellets of mixtures of .alpha.-amino acids, possibly coated by a waterproof protective film, which may be disgregated in the gastrointestinal juices. The process for obtaining regular granules includes the coordinated extrusion and cutting of the powdery or pasty amino acid mixtures with the subsequent possible desiccation and coating by immersion in solutions of zein.
