  • Process for incorporating a material in a crosslinked gelatin, and product therefrom
    Patent number: 5153177
    Abstract: A method of crosslinking protein comprises making a composition which comprises a protein, a sugar, a water-soluble salt of a carboxylic acid, water, and an additional ingredient which is to be encapsulated or entrapped within the crosslinked protein matrix. The composition is thereafter heated while maintaining the moisture content at a level of at least about 3 weight percent, based on the weight of the composition.A product comprises a protein which is crosslinked to degree at which it is substantially insoluble upon being placed in water at 100.degree. C. for at least 3 minutes, a sugar, a water-soluble salt of a carboxylic acid, water, and an additional ingredient which is encapsulated or entrapped within the crosslinked protein matrix.

  • Process for crosslinking gelatin
    Patent number: 5126328
    Abstract: A method for crosslinking protein comprises making an aqueous compositiion of a protein, sugar, a salt, and water, followed by heating the composition while maintaining the moisture content of the composition at a level of at least about 3 weight percent. The composition is made, and the heating carried out, so that the protein is crosslinked to a degree at which it is substantially water insoluble upon being placed in water at 100.degree. C. for at least 3 minutes. A crosslinked protein product comprises a protein crosslinked to a degree that it is substantially water insoluble upon being placed in water at 100.degree. C. for at least 3 minutes, a sugar, a salt, and water.

  • Process for spray drying riboflavin to produce a granulate product having low binder content
    Patent number: 5000888
    Abstract: A method for producing a granulated riboflavin product comprises making a specific mixture of riboflavin, binder and water, followed by homogenizing the mixture and thereafter spray-drying the homogenized mixture so that granules are produced. The mixture has a relatively high vitamin and binder content but is reduced to a relatively low viscosity (via homogenization) so that spray drying can be performed.

  • Process for rotary fluid bed granulation of riboflavin
    Patent number: 4994458
    Abstract: A riboflavin granulate containing from 75 to 99.5 weight percent riboflavin is produced by:A. placing a desired quantity of riboflavin powder in the bowl of a rotary fluid bed granulator;B. fluidizing the powder with fluidizing air while rotating the rotor disc, whereby a fluidized cloud of riboflavin powder is produced; andC. spraying a binder solution into the fluidized cloud;so that at least 90 weight percent of the riboflavin powder combines to form granules.
