Abstract: The invention relates to a wet granulation process comprising contacting a material to be granulated with a granulating liquid, wherein the granulating liquid comprises Arabic gum. The process may be used for improving dissolution kinetics of the material to the granulated, for example, of Arabic gum and/or metal salts, such as organic metal salts. Furthermore, the invention relates to a granulate material comprising Arabic gum, wherein the individual granules making up the granulate material are porous, preferably exhibiting a mean porosity of between about 15% to about 75%, which are obtainable by the process according to the present invention. The invention also provides a composition comprising the granulate material, for example, for the preparation of a liquid, such as a beverage, and the granulate material and the composition of the present invention for use as a medicament and/or as a dietary supplement.
