Abstract: The present invention provides a powdered vinegar that comprises partly neutralized vinegar, i.e. vinegar derived acid that is partly neutralized with e.g. sodium and/or potassium hydroxide, and free vinegar derived acid. The invention also provides a process for producing such a powdered vinegar and the use of this powdered vinegar in a foodstuff or a beverage, e.g. as a preservative. The present process offers the advantage that it yields a stable, free flowing powdered vinegar that can suitably be used as a preservative in e.g. processed meat products. The powdered vinegar has a high content of free acid, is easy to dissolve and acts as an acidulant.

Abstract: The invention relates to a particulate product comprising at least 10 wt. % of the coated acetate particles having the following characteristics: (a) comprising one or more carrier particles containing at least 80 wt. % of sodium acetate component selected from sodium acetate hydrates, sodium acetate anhydrous and combinations thereof; (b) comprising a coating layer that covers the one or more carrier particles, said coating layer containing at least 60 wt. % of potassium acetate; (c) containing potassium and sodium in a molar ratio of 0.4:1 to 5:1; and (d) a particle size in the range of 40 to 1,000 ?m. The coated acetate particles in the particulate product are very stable, even though the potassium acetate in the coating layer is in direct contact with the surrounding atmosphere. The particulate product can suitably be used in the preparation of foodstuffs and beverages.

Abstract: The invention relates to a particulate product comprising at least 10 wt. % of the coated lactate particles having the following characteristics: comprising one or more carrier particles containing at least 80 wt. % of calcium lactate component selected from calcium lactate hydrates, calcium lactate anhydrous and combinations thereof; comprising a coating layer that covers the one or more carrier particles, said coating layer containing at least 60 wt. % of sodium lactate; containing sodium and calcium in a molar ratio of 2.1:1 to 5:1; and a particle size in the range of 120 to 1,200 ?m. The coated lactate particles in the particulate product are very stable, even though the sodium lactate in the coating layer is in direct contact with the surrounding atmosphere. The particulate product can suitably be used in the preparation of foodstuffs and beverages.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a lactate powder, more particularly a lactate powder having a lactate content of at least 20 wt. % and a water content of less than 3.5 wt. %, said powder comprising calcium cations as well as sodium cations. According to the invention, a calcium lactate powder combining high stability with excellent water dissolution properties can be obtained even though anhydrous calcium lactate represents the bulk of the powder if the powder additionally contains a certain amount of sodium lactate. The inventors have found that the presence of sodium lactate greatly improves the dissolution behavior of the anhydrous calcium lactate while maintaining the storage stability of the powder. The present inventors also established that the dissolution behavior of the powder can be further improved by the addition of a fast-dissolving carbohydrate material.

Abstract: A method for storage and/or transport of solid lactide particles in a container, includes the steps of a) inserting the lactide particles into the container, b) storing and/or transporting the lactide particles for a period of time in the container, and c) removing the lactide particles from the container. The lactide particles are contained in a big-bag having at least one flexible layer of a plastic material. Storage and/or transport of lactide particles in such big-bag has the advantage that big-bags allow mechanical handling in case of chunks formed by the lactide particles.
