Abstract:
A food additive slurry composition which comprises water, 100 parts by weight of at least one agent (A) selected from the group consisting of (i) a calcium agent consisting of calcium carbonate or calcium phosphate, and (ii) an iron agent consisting of ferric pyrophosphate, and 1 to 60 parts by weight of gum arabic (B),wherein a calcium ion concentration M (mg/l) of the food additive slurry satisfies the following requirement (a):10<M.ltoreq.500 (a)wherein M means a calcium ion concentration of a food additive slurry obtained by adjusting a solid concentration of the food additive slurry to 10% by weight (mg/l) after pulverization and/or dispersion, andwherein a weight average diameter K (.mu.m) in particle size distribution of the calcium agent and/or the iron agent contained in the food additive slurry composition is 0.04 .mu.m.ltoreq.K.ltoreq.0.8 .mu.m.
