Abstract: A composition having a mixture of discreet particles, each particle comprising an active substance and a coating material, the active substance being at least partially coated with the coating material. The mixture of discreet particles includes a first batch of first particles, the first particles of the first batch having a first average weight % ratio of the active substance to the coating material; and a second batch of second particles, the second particles of the second batch having a second average weight % ratio of the active substance to the coating material, the second average weight ratio being different from the first average weight ratio.

Abstract: A mineral supplement is described herein that has a high mineral and/or nitrogen content and is capable of being formed into a pellet. The mineral supplement may comprise a heat sink that absorbs heat during processing, thus facilitating the formation of the mineral supplement as a pellet.

Abstract: A baking additive for enhancing the shelf-life and maintaining the volume of a baked product, and methods for producing and using the same. The baking additive comprises a blend of an non-encapsulated acidulate and an acidulate having a fat-based encapsulating coating that is degradable by heat. The combination of the encapsulated and non-encapsulated provides strategic release of the acidulates throughout the baking process such when the baking additive is added to a dry dough mix, the acidulates can sufficiently decrease the pH of the dry dough mix to prevent microbial contamination without interfering with glutton elasticity or the chemical leavening system.

Abstract: A mineral supplement is described herein that has a high mineral/nitrogen content and is capable of being formed as a pellet. The mineral supplement may comprise a hydrophobic component that includes a lubricant and a high melting point substance which may facilitate forming the mineral supplement as a pellet.

Abstract: An encapsulated ingredient is disclosed comprising an ingredient component and a coating component. The coating component includes a lipid and one or more hydrophobic, high melting point compounds. The coating component typically has a melting point of at least about 70° C.

Abstract: The present application is directed to compositions that have a high content of fatty materials and a high fiber content and to methods of producing such compositions. The present compositions may be used to produce high fat content pelleted feeds with improved physical properties such as pellet quality, flowability, oil retention, and durability. The present methods and compositions can provide a “dry” source of fat which can be utilized by mills which lack liquid fat capabilities, and can also provide for the production of pelleted animal feeds with a higher than normal content of added fat.
