Patent ID: 8263157

Claim:
A pelletization method for raw royal jelly, the method consisting essentially of the steps of: providing raw royal jelly; mixing said raw royal jelly at room temperature and pressure but without heating with a partially pregelatinized starch that remains in the form of starch particles, retains the shell structure of starch grains but has an extremely low water-soluble content, and also has a degree of water retention of 3 to 6 mL/g, at a mixing ratio of 0.1-4.0 of said raw royal jelly to said partially pregelatinized starch, wherein the mixing ratio is an absolute dehydrated weight ratio of the raw royal jelly to the partially pregelatinized starch, thereby creating a royal jelly mixture; pelletizating said royal jelly mixture at room temperature and pressure but without heating, thereby obtaining an intermediate pelletized royal jelly product from said royal jelly mixture; and dehydrating said pelletized royal jelly intermediate product at room temperature and pressure, but without heating, to a moisture content of 3 to 15% by weight, thereby obtaining a pelletized royal jelly product having a predetermined granule size distribution that is easy to ingest.
