Abstract
This invention relates to improved nutritionally useful, amino acid food additives, the method of making them and the fortification of foodstuffs which are deficient in the nutritionally related amino acids. This improved amino acid food additive comprises: a uniform dehydrated cocrystalline matrix of (1) an amino acid material, preferably a salt of an essential amino acid material, and (2) an effective amount of a soluble edible cocrystallizer material, preferably sodium chloride, whereby the improved amino acid food additive provided is better-tasting, more stable and less hygroscopic than the free amino acid material alone.
