A new form of green color is prepared by specially treating copper chlorophyllin to make it acid-stable and cold-water-soluble. The new composition has a unique combination of properties makes it especially suitable for use in dry mix compositions for preparing acidic beverages and foods such as gelatin desserts. The dry, water-soluble, acid-stable green coloring composition contains copper chlorophyllin, a solid fixative and a hydrophilic surfactant. The weight ratio of the copper chlorophyllin to the hydrophilic surfactant is in the range of from about 1:1 to 1:6. For beverages and gelatin dessert mixes, flavor and sufficient acid are employed to achieve a pH of less than 4 when the dry mix composition is mixed with water.

Non-staining, acid-stable, cold-water-soluble, edible green color and

The present invention provides a method for fixing and/or preserving labile materials, especially food materials, in an extruded glassy substrate. A minor component containing of a high molecular weight water-soluble polymeric carbohydrate is dry-blended with a major component comprising of a low molecular weight water-soluble carbohydrate, sugar alcohol or food acid. Typically, the carbohydrate admixture comprises between about 15% to 40% high molecular weight carbohydrate material and at least about 40% low molecular weight carbohydrate, sugar alcohols or adipic, malic or citric acids or combinations thereof. A labile material like omega-3 oils or .beta.-carotene is combined with this substrate mixture. The dry-blended admixture is extruded so that the temperature of the material in the extruder is between about the glass transition state of the substrate and the melting point of the major ingredient. The free-flowing product is relatively non-hygroscopic and has a high fix.

Method of preparing glass stabilized material

A dry mix for preparing a slush beverage. When the dry mix is dissolved in water at a 15% solids level, the liquid has an onset melting point greater than -6.5.degree. C. and a viscosity of less than 10 mPas at 14.7.degree. C. The mix contains at least 2% of water-soluble, low-viscosity hydrocolloid and preferably contains insoluble particles to function as an ice crystal nucleating agent.

An antioxidant free, stable, fixed flavor is prepared from a mixture of flavor, maltose, malto-dextrin and a carbohydrate film former by spray-drying the mixture to form a dense product of at least 0.5 g/cc bulk free flow density and less than 20% voids, which is stable against oxidation for one year at 70.degree. F.

Spray-dried fixed flavorants in a carbohydrate substrate and process

A sucrose and fructose-containing dry food mix and method of manufacture is disclosed. The fructose is crystalline fructose having less than 10% of its particles smaller than 150 microns, a flavor having a low water activity particularly spray dried in a modified starch and malto-dextrin matrix and an acidic or neutral anti-caking agent. The food mix does not cake over an extended period of time.

Sucrose and fructose-containing food mix and process

The present invention is concerned with a process for preparing rapidly solubilized calcium fumarate by first preparing a slurry of fumaric acid and water and a calcium containing base, combining under high shear conditions the calcium containing base with the fumaric acid slurry under temperatures not to exceed about 160.degree. F., quenching the reaction when at least one half of the fumaric acid is neutralized and wherein the mole ratio of the calcium to fumarate is at a mole ratio ranging from 1:2 to about 1:1, and drying the mixture.
