Abstract
The present invention relates to a lactate powder, more particularly a lactate powder having a lactate content of at least 20 wt. % and a water content of less than 3.5 wt. %, said powder comprising calcium cations as well as sodium cations. According to the invention, a calcium lactate powder combining high stability with excellent water dissolution properties can be obtained even though anhydrous calcium lactate represents the bulk of the powder if the powder additionally contains a certain amount of sodium lactate. The inventors have found that the presence of sodium lactate greatly improves the dissolution behavior of the anhydrous calcium lactate while maintaining the storage stability of the powder. The present inventors also established that the dissolution behavior of the powder can be further improved by the addition of a fast-dissolving carbohydrate material.
