Provided herein is a process for increasing the dissolution rate of a sparingly water soluble flavor or taste modifying compound in water comprising: a. mixing the compound and a highly water soluble second compound in a water based solution to form a solution or dispersion of the compound; and b. drying the solution or dispersion to form a solution or solid dispersion of the compound wherein the compound has an increased dissolution rate in water as compared to the compound when dissolved in water alone.

An oral rehydration composition comprising the following: 1-glutamic acid in a range of about 0.01% to about 0.40% w/w and monosodium glutamate in a range of about 0.05% to about 0.80% w/w; about 1.50% w/w glucose monohydrate; about 0.20% w/w sodium chloride; about 0.15% w/w potassium chloride; about 0.35% w/w glycine; about 0.30% w/w trisodiumcitrate; about 0.15% w/w sodium dihydrogen phosphate; about 0.10% w/w xanthan gum; 85% Steviol Glycoside extract in a range of about 0.01% to about 0.03% w/w; about 0.20% w/w citric acid monohydrate; hydrolyzed whey in a range of about 0.15% to about 1.00% w/w; about 1.00% w/w hydrolyzed wheat; comprises cereals as a protein source; comprises enzyme co-factors; comprises a monosaccharide. The oral rehydration composition can be used on humans or animals that suffer from diarrhea.

A co-crystal of citric acid and glycine containing citric acid and glycine in a molar ratio of 1:3 is disclosed. It was unexpectedly discovered that this co-crystal of citric acid and glycine can suitably be produced in the form of powders that exhibit very low hygroscopicity and that are capable of imparting a sour flavour that is very similar to that of citric acid. Also disclosed are processes that enable the preparation of the co-crystal in high yield.

The invention relates to a free glycine source for use in inducing tolerance against an allergen, or preventing the development of allergy in a human or other mammal. The invention further relates to a composition comprising protein, fat and carbohydrates with at least 7 en % protein and at least 60 mg free glycine source per gram protein, preferably at least 70 mg glycine per gram protein. Said free glycine source is preferably the free amino acid glycine, a salt of the free amino acid glycine, or a combination thereof; the protein can be intact protein, hydrolysed protein, peptides, free amino acids, salts of amino acids, or combinations thereof.

The present invention discloses oral compositions for nourishment a mammalian subject which comprises steviol glycoside, citric acid monohydrate, monosodium glutamate and/or glycine. These compositions, being highly palatable, increase consumption of said composition, further configured to decrease mortality rate, increase weight gain, reduced use of either antibiotics or milk replacers and improve small intestine anatomy of said mammalian.
