  • Patent number: 10609931
    Abstract: The present invention relates to mixed crystals comprising a) leavening agent and b) 0.1 to 5000 ppm by weight of crystallization aid, based on the total amount of the leavening agent, in the form of at least polymer, wherein when hydrophilic cellulose derivatives are used as crystallization aid, the amount thereof is reduced to less than 100 ppm by weight, based on the total amount of the leavening agent. The present invention further relates to the production of the mixed crystals and to the use thereof in the production of bakery products, as acid regulator in foods, in the production of cosmetics products, in the synthesis and formulation of pharmaceutical products, and also as blowing agent in industrial processes such as, for example, the production of foam rubber, or for fire-extinguishing formulations. The present invention relates, furthermore, to the production of bakery products.
