A dry consumable preparation and related methods are disclosed. The preparation has a bulking agent, and a cannabinoid and/or a cannabinoid extract containing one or more cannabinoids plated onto the bulking agent. The preparation also has an effervescence agent. The effervescence agent has sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, and at least one acid, the at least one acid having at least one of citric acid, tartaric acid, or malic acid. The effervescence agent further has a ratio of sodium bicarbonate to potassium bicarbonate to the acid(s) that creates a chemical pH buffering system at a targeted pH range when the dry consumable preparation is added to a targeted amount of water.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for creating water-soluble flavored instant cubed vitamin packed tablet beverages. In some embodiments a method comprises mixing ingredients, aerating the mixed ingredients, molding the mixed and aerated ingredients, and compressing the molded, mixed, and aerated ingredients at a pressure to form the water-soluble tablet. Some embodiments comprise components configured to mix ingredients, aerate the mixed ingredients, mold the mixed and aerated ingredients, and compress the molded, mixed, and aerated ingredients at a pressure to form the water-soluble tablet.

An emulsion composition includes water, an oily component, gum ghatti and a modified starch. The content of the gum ghatti is 32% by mass or less and the content of the modified starch is 500 parts by mass or less relative to 100 parts by mass of the gum ghatti. The emulsion composition has excellent emulsion stability.

A dry consumable preparation and related methods are disclosed. The preparation has a plurality of excipient particles and at least one of a cannabinoid and a cannabinoid extract, the at least one of the cannabinoid or the cannabinoid extract containing one or more cannabinoids plated to the plurality of excipient particles. The preparation further comprises an effervescence agent, the effervescence agent comprising a carbonate salt, and at least one acid. The carbonate salt comprises sodium, potassium and/or calcium. The at least one acid comprises at least one of citric acid, tartaric acid, lactic, acetic, benzoic, ascorbic, oxalic, tannic, phosphoric, or malic acid. A ratio of the at least one of the carbonate salt to the at least one acid is at least 1:1, the ratio configured to create a chemical pH buffering system at a targeted pH range when the dry consumable preparation is added to a targeted amount of water.

A dissolvable or partially dissolvable package is disclosed, which comprises a dissolvable, consumable material that minimizes clean-up and trash typically generated by packages that contain consumable materials. The package is typically used to deliver consumable materials to a consumable beverage and/or edible food product, such as hot or cold water, juice, milk, alcohol, oat meal, or rice, to create a consumable beverage or edible food product containing the consumable material. The package could be placed in the beverage itself or liquid (e.g., water), or in a machine that disperses liquid that dissolves the package and delivers the mixture of the liquid, the package, and the package contents to a beverage container. Dissolvable, consumable, logos could also be printed on the package, where the logo dissolves at a slower rate than the package, to provide a dissolvable, consumable logo that floats on the beverage as the main body and contents of the package dissolve into a beverage.

The present invention relates to a beverage powder comprising porous particles and partially aggregated proteins, the porous particles having an amorphous continuous phase comprising a sweetener, a soluble filler and a optionally a surfactant, wherein the porous particles have a closed porosity of between 10 and 80%. A further aspect of the invention is a process for manufacturing a beverage powder.

A product having an internal substance protected by a rugged exterior shell is disclosed. The internal substance is reactive with the exterior shell but is separated therefrom by a coating on an interior surface of the external shell so that the product can be stored for a long period of time without the internal substance reacting with the exterior shell. The coating is meltable so that, when desired, the product may be heated (e.g. immersed in hot water or exposed to heat) in order to melt the coating so that the internal substance can react with the external shell so that the internal substance can excrete out of the exterior shell.
