摘要:
The present invention is directed towards a solid formulation comprising a milled carotenoid, at least one hydrocolloid, a glucose syrup, sucrose and at least one water- soluble antioxidant (preferably sodium ascorbate), wherein the carotenoid is selected from the group consisting of lutein and zeaxanthin and any mixture thereof, wherein the hydrocolloid is selected from the group consisting of modified food starches and any mixtures thereof, and wherein the milled carotenoid has the following particle size distribution: D [3,2] in the range of from 0.6 to 1.5 μm and D [v, 0.5] in the range of from 1.1 to 3.5 μm, all D values as measured by laser diffraction (Malvern Instruments Ltd, Malvern, UK, Mastersizer 3000) according to the Fraunhofer scattering model. This solid formulation is in form of granules which are used for dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals, such as e.g. multi-vitamin and/or multi-mineral tablets. Surprisingly these tablets show a low compression loss.
