Publication number: 20220022510Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide a composition containing an edible solid particulate component, for example a starch, which is free from additives like maltodextrin, lactose and flowability improvers. Nevertheless, the removal of such additives should not lead to inferior qualities of such composition when in use. The objective of this invention is to provide an alternative to such additives, which has a natural image for consumers, and which can lead to benefits like good dissolution of the starch, no clumping during dissolution, good flowability of a dry mixture in a factory, and which does not lead to a dusty dry powder mixture. This problem has been solved by agglomerating an edible solid particulate component, preferably containing a starch, with particulate, expanded, gelatinized potato starch, to create a dry, particulate, agglomerated composition.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2019Publication date: January 27, 2022Applicant: Conopco Inc., d/b/a UNILEVERInventors: Thomas Jürgen Kinkelin, Susanne Kerstin Merkl, Joachim Romann, Winfried Rupp
