Abstract
A method for forming a dry powder of insoluble calcium salts and protein from an aqueous composition. The process results in a dry powder that can be reconstituted in water with an unexpected extended and beneficial suspension of the insoluble calcium salts in the aqueous composition. The process includes blending the insoluble calcium salt with an agitated aqueous mixture of a protein source, either soluble or insoluble, followed by drying the resulting mixture. The resulting dry powder can be reconstituted in water or other media to produce a suspension of the insoluble calcium salts with the beneficial feature that the calcium salts do not sediment or separate.
