POWDEROUS COMPOSITION(II)
The present invention relates a powderous composition comprising at least one polyunsaturated fatty acid, which can be produced easily and which can be used in many fields of application.
1 .- 11 . (canceled)
12 . A powderous composition comprising
(i) up to 70 weight-% (wt-%), based on the total weight of the powderous composition, of at least one polyunsaturated fatty acid (and/or derivative thereof), and
(ii) 5-30 wt-%, based on the total weight of the powderous composition, of at least one D-glycose oligomer (preferably a maltodextrin) (GO1) having a DE of <18, and
(iii) 5-30 wt-%, based on the total weight of the powderous composition, of at least one D-glycose oligomer (preferably a maltodextrin) (GO2) having a DE of >18, and
(iv) 5-70 wt-%, based on the total weight of the powderous composition, of at least one modified polysaccharide, and
(v) at least 1 wt-%, based on the total weight of the powderous composition, of at least one water-soluble dietary fiber.
13 . Powderous composition according to claim 12 , wherein the at least one polyunsaturated fatty acid is chosen from the group consisting of eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, arachidonic acid, linoleic acid, α-linolenic acid, dihomo-γ-linolenic acid, γ-linolenic acid and ethylester thereof.
14 . Powderous composition according to claim 12 , wherein the composition comprises 0.1-70 wt-% of the at least one polyunsaturated fatty acid (and/or derivative thereof), based on the total weight of the powderous composition.
15 . Powderous composition according to claim 12 , wherein (GO1) or a mixture of (GO1)s has a DE of less than 15.
16 . Powderous composition according to claim 12 , wherein (GO2) or mixture of (GO2)s has a DE of more than 20.
17 . Powderous composition according to claim 12 , wherein (GO1) and (GO2) are used in a 1:1 mixture in the powderous composition.
18 . Powderous composition according to claim 12 , wherein the modified polysaccharide is modified starch.
19 . Powderous composition according to claim 12 , wherein the modified polysaccharide is starch sodium octenyl succinate.
20 . Powderous composition according to claim 12 , wherein 1-20 wt-%, based on the total weight of the powderous composition, of at least one water-soluble fiber is used.
