The present patent application relates to coated particles. These coated particles show improved properties when used in compressed tablets.

Process for producing coated particles

The present invention is directed to isoflavone nanoparticle compositions comprising isoflavone in the form of nanoparticles and preferably a carrier. The isoflavone nanoparticle compositions are particularly useful for preparing cosmetic compositions, pharmaceutical compositions, foodstuff, food and feed additives. In the compositions comprising the isoflavone nanoparticle compositions recrystallization of the isoflavone to bigger particles is retarded.

Isoflavone nanoparticles and use thereof

The present invention describes a process for the manufacture of a solid composition comprising a microorganism, which process comprises a first step of blending and/or compacting the microorganism with a salt of a medium or long-chain fatty acid to prepare a powderous mixture or compacted granulate, and a second step of providing said powderous mixture or compacted granulate with a coating. The microorganisms are preferably probiotics. The invention also relates to the solid composition obtained by said process and to its use in food.

Compositions for enternal application of microorganisms

The invention relates to compositions containing a fat soluble substance in a glassy carbohydrate matrix having maltose or a mixture of low-molecular weight carbohydrates, and, optionally, a high-molecular weight carbohydrate. The compositions can be used for multivitamin tablets, hard gelatin capsules, dry food and feed compositions and for enriching sugar.
