The present invention relates to an additive composition, and more particularly, to an additive composition capable of stabilizing pores of particles in a solid formulation. The present invention provides an additive composition including a naturally derived raw material, which enables formulation without using any synthetic additives. Further, the present invention provides an additive composition in which particles are uniformly distributed by reducing pores of particles in a formulation, as well as tablets, powders or the like including the same.

The present disclosure generally relates to compositions and methods for suppressing food cravings, promoting weight loss, and/or preventing and/or treating overweight or obesity. More specifically, the present disclosure is directed to “clean label” meal replacement bars and methods for making and using same. The disclosed meal replacement bar contains a base material including real food and/or natural ingredients providing proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and/or fiber; at least one natural binding agent to bind together the base material; and vitamins and minerals to provide complete nutrition. The disclosed meal replacement bar preferably is made from less than 15 ingredients in total and provides about 160 kcal energy and about 16 g of protein for a bar of about 44 g; or provides about 200 kcal of energy and about 20 g of protein for a bar of about 55 g.

Provided is a method for producing a compressed body of a powder capable of improving a hardness while suppressing a decrease in production efficiency of the compressed body of the powder. A compressed body 14 of a powder is compression molded by compressing a powder supplied into die holes 18 by a lower punch 31 and an upper punch 32. In the compression molding, a first compression and a second compression following the first compression are performed. In the first compression, the compression is performed at a first compression speed, and in the second compression, the compression is performed at a second compression speed that is lower than the first compression speed.

A directly compressible composition includes more than 30% by weight of allulose. The directly compressible composition can form tablets. A method for the manufacture of allulose granules includes: a step (a) of preparing a granulation liquid comprising allulose; a step (b) of granulating powdery allulose, by applying the granulation liquid obtained in step (a) onto moving powdery allulose; a step (c), simultaneous with step (b), of drying the granules obtained in step (b); a step (c′) of maturation of the granules obtained in step (c); and a step (d) of recovering the granules obtained in step (c) or (c′).
