Abstract: The present invention refers to an edible composition comprising water and/or at least one edible oil and a surface reacted calcium carbonate having a volume median particle size d50 from 0.1 to 90 ?m, an edible coating and/or filling comprising the surface-reacted calcium carbonate, a food product or pharmaceutical product or neutraceutical product at least partially coated and/or filled with the edible composition, a method for producing a food product or pharmaceutical product or neutraceutical product at least partially coated and/or filled with the edible composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of surface-reacted calcium carbonate as stabilizing agent for a probiotic composition, wherein the surface-reacted calcium carbonate is a reaction product of natural ground calcium carbonate or precipitated calcium carbonate with carbon dioxide and one or more H3O+ ion donors, wherein the carbon dioxide is formed in situ by the H3O+ ion donors treatment and/or is supplied from an external source.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a mineral blend as cosmetic agent for a wet cosmetic composition, wherein the mineral blend comprises a first component being selected from natural ground calcium carbonate and/or precipitated calcium carbonate, and a second component being a surface-reacted calcium carbonate, as well as to a wet cosmetic composition comprising said mineral blend.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for the production of granules comprising surface-reacted calcium carbonate, granules comprising a surface-reacted calcium carbonate having a bulk density ranging from 0.25 to 0.70 g/mL, preferably from 0.28 to 0.65 g/mL, more preferably from 0.30 to 0.60 g/mL, and most preferably from 0.35 to 0.60 g/mL and the use of the granules n a nutraceutical product, agricultural product, veterinary product, cosmetic product, preferably in a dry cosmetic and/or dry skin care composition, home product, food product, packaging product or personal care product, preferably in an oral care composition, or as excipient in a pharmaceutical product.

Abstract: The present invention refers to the use of a calcium carbonate-based composition as an anticaking agent, wherein the calcium carbonate-based composition comprises a first component being a natural ground calcium carbonate or a precipitated calcium carbonate, and a second component being a surface-reacted calcium carbonate, wherein the surface-reacted calcium carbonate is a reaction product of natural ground calcium carbonate or precipitated calcium carbonate with carbon dioxide and at least one H3O+ ion donor, wherein the carbon dioxide is formed in situ by the at least one H3O+ ion donor treatment and/or is supplied from an external source. Furthermore, the present invention refers to a particulate composition comprising such an anticaking agent, and to a method for producing such a particulate composition.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a baking powder comprising a natural ground calcium carbonate having a volume median particle size d50 from 1 to 15 ?m, and at least one solid organic acid having a pKa value in the range of 2.5 to 7.0, and wherein the baking powder is sodium-free. Furthermore, the present invention refers to a process for producing a baking powder, a product comprising the baking powder, a food obtainable by using the baking powder or a product comprising the same, and to the use of a composition comprising a natural ground calcium carbonate and a solid organic acid as a baking powder.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dry cosmetic and/or skin care composition, a process for preparing a dry cosmetic and/or skin care composition, the use of a dry composition as a cosmetic and/or skin care composition, and the use of a mixture comprising a first component and a second component as a replacement for talc or a talc-containing material in a dry cosmetic and/or skin care composition.

Abstract: The present invention refers to an edible composition comprising water and/or at least one edible oil and a surface-reacted calcium carbonate having a volume median particle size d50 from 0.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dosage form comprising functionalized calcium carbonate serving as active ingredient. The invention further relates to the use of the dosage form as nutritional supplement or as a medicament and to the use of functionalized calcium carbonate as active ingredient, preferably in the field of calcium fortification and in the treatment of calcium deficiency.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a surface-reacted calcium carbonate having a volume median particle size d50 from 0.1 to 90 ?m, wherein mint oil is adsorbed onto and/or absorbed into the surface of the surface-reacted calcium carbonate as well as the use of such a surface-reacted calcium carbonate for stabilizing mint oil.

Abstract: The present invention refers to an edible composition comprising water and/or at least one edible oil and a surface-reacted calcium carbonate having a volume median particle size d50 from 0.
