Abstract:
1. Method for the preparation of an agglomerated powder comprising at least one component selected from the group consisting of peptides and amino acids, which may be present as a free amino acid or peptide, a salt thereof, or an ester thereof, comprising a) providing powder particles comprising at least one component selected from the group consisting of peptides and amino acids having a solubility of less than 5 g/100 ml water at 20° C. which may be present as a free amino acid or peptide, a salt thereof, or an ester thereof, and optionally one or more amino acids having a solubility of at least 5 g/100 ml water at 20° C.; b) preparing an aqueous solution comprising at least one amino acid which may a free amino acid, a salt thereof, or an ester thereof, that has a solubility of at least 5 g/100 ml water at 20° C., the solution further optionally comprising at least one component selected from the group consisting of vitamins and minerals; c) contacting the powder particles provided in step a) with the aqueous solution prepared in step b) and agglomerating said particles comprising at least one component selected from the group consisting of peptides and amino acids having a solubility of less than 5 g/100 ml water at 20° C. thereby forming agglomerates comprising said particles comprising at least one component selected from the group consisting of peptides and amino acids having a solubility of less than 5 g/100 ml water at 20° C.; and d) drying the agglomerates, thereby providing the agglomerated powder.
