Abstract: Solid formulations include a milled carotenoid, at least one hydrocolloid, a glucose syrup, sucrose and at least one water-soluble antioxidant (preferably sodium ascorbate), wherein the carotenoid is selected from the group consisting of lutein and zeaxanthin and any mixture thereof, wherein the hydrocolloid is selected from the group consisting of modified food starches and any mixtures thereof, and wherein the milled carotenoid has the following particle size distribution: D [3,2] in the range of from 0.6 to 1.5 ?m and D [v, 0.5] in the range of from 1.1 to 3.5 ?m, all D values as measured by laser diffraction (Malvern Instruments Ltd, Malvern, UK, Mastersizer 3000) according to the Fraunhofer scattering model. The solid formulation is in form of granules which are used for dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals, such as e.g. multi-vitamin and/or multi-mineral tablets and surprisingly show a low compression loss.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new delivery system for nutritional ingredients (nutraceuticals). These nutritional ingredients are useful for gut and metabolic health in monogastric animals, especially in humans.

Abstract: Method for enhancing the bioavailability of orally administered benzoic acid in an animal includes orally administering to the animal an animal feed which comprises benzoic acid prills having neither edges nor spikes, wherein the benzoic acid prills exhibit a rate and/or extent of in vitro dissolution of benzoic acid in a physiologically relevant dissolution fluid which is higher when compared to nonspherical benzoic acid flakes.

Abstract: The present patent application relates to novel red-orange coated particles, which are mainly used in (dry) formulations for instant beverages. The advantage of these coated particles is that they are red to orange as such (also in the formulations for instant beverages, wherein they can be identified by the naked eye as individual discrete colored particles), but upon dissolution of the instant beverage powder, the particles will dissolve as well and will not interfere with or change the intended color of the ready-to drink instant beverages made from the instant beverage dry powders.

Abstract: Novel coating systems for coating solid particles which comprise PUFAs (and/or salts thereof) are provided wherein the coating system includes at least one cyclodextrin. Compositions coated with such a coating system and the use of such compositions in the production of food, feed, dietary supplements and/or pharmaceutical products are also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new formulation of specific nutritional ingredients (nutraceuticals) and/or pharmaceutical compounds.

Abstract: Beverages are provided which include a beverage liquid and granules mixed with the beverage liquid The granules include: (i) a milled carotenoid consisting of lutein and/or zeaxanthin, wherein the milled carotenoid has the following particle size distribution: D [3,2] in the range of from 0.6 to 1.5 ?m, and D [v, 0.5] in the range of from 1.1 to 3.5 ?m, (ii) a matrix material which encapsulates the milled carotenoid and comprises at least one modified food starch, a glucose syrup and sucrose, and (iii) a water-soluble antioxidant, wherein the granules have the following particle size distribution: D [3,2] in the range of from 200 to 300 ?m, and D [v, 0.5] in the range of from 220 to 320 ?m, and wherein all D values are as measured by laser diffraction according to the Fraunhofer scattering model, and wherein the granules do not include an oil or a gelatin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of benzoic acid prills in the feed industry. Despite of having a reduced surface area/volume ratio, the benzoic acid prills as used in the context of the present invention release benzoic acid faster than benzoic acid flakes. Compositions comprising such prills are useful for balancing the microflora in an animal's gastro-intestinal system, for acidification of feed and/or urine, and/or for reducing digestive disorders of an animal.
