  • Fatty acid composition and method for fortifying nutritional products with fatty acids
    Patent number: 10888104
    Abstract: A fatty acid composition is provided which can be used to make fatty acid fortified nutritional products. In one embodiment, the fatty acid composition comprises a fatty acid component, inorganic salts (which can include a phosphate salt), vitamins, and optionally a protein source and optionally a carbohydrate source. The composition can further include additional nutrients and combinations thereof. In another embodiment, the fatty acid composition is only the fatty acid (i.e., consists of a sodium or potassium fatty acid) which is spray dried. In both embodiments, the fatty acid composition is not microencapsulated in a waxy or carbohydrate substrate, yet the powdered composition is flowable and is easily dispersible in a liquid to form a stable dispersion in the liquid by stirring or shaking the powder in the liquid for only a short period of time.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 22, 2015
    Date of Patent: January 12, 2021
    Assignee: Jost Chemical Co.

  • Co-precipitated salts of fatty acids
    Patent number: 8378131
    Abstract: A co-salt of a polyunsaturated fatty acid and a non-fatty acid is formed as a precipitate. The co-salt formed is free flowing and does not tend to agglomerate (cake) in storage. The resultant co-salt product will be easy to blend with other products to produce dietary supplements. These novel co-salt products may also tablet very well and may be added to current dietary supplement tablets.
