Patent number: 8518448Abstract: Sustained-released beads providing active ingredients over an extended period of time to an individual orally ingesting the sustained release beads. The sustained-release beads can be part of a suspension wherein the sustained-release beads are suspended and evenly dispersed in the suspension. Binding agents are used to form the structural framework of the sustained released beads and retain the active ingredients without chemical or electrical bonding. The components of the dispersion medium are GRAS designated, making the suspension suitable for use as a food product.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2011Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Inventor: Robert Niichel

Patent number: RE44508Abstract: The present invention is related to the production of capsules or particles of micro and nanometric size, for introduction into food, using stable electrified coaxial jets of two immiscible liquids with diameters in the micro and nanometric range. An aerosol of charged structured droplets forms when the jets dissociate by capillary instabilities. The structured droplets, which are mano-dispersed in size, contain a first liquid (generally the material desired to be added) that is surrounded by a second liquid. Generally the second liquid provides a barrier or protective coating which allows the addition of the first liquid to a food product without adversely affecting the organoleptic or other properties of the food product.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2012Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: Kraft Foods Group Brands LLCInventors: Antonio Barrero Ripoll, Alfonso M Ganan-Calvo, Ignacio Gonzalez Loscertales, Raul Cortijo Bon, Manuel Marquez
