Device (1) and method for dosing an aqueous solution (2) of an additive, e.g., a non-caking agent, into an amount of a particulate material, such as a salt. The device comprises a conveyor (4) for transporting the particulate material and a dispenser (5) arranged above the conveyor. The dispenser is connected to a supply for the aqueous solution. The dispenser comprises a pouring outlet (10) extending over at least a part of the width of the conveyor (4). The additive solution is poured with a controlled flow velocity over at least a part of the width of the conveyor (4) transporting the particulate material.

The present invention relates to an agglomeration-preventable sweetener composition treated to prevent agglomeration and to a method for preparing same. More particularly, the present invention relates to an agglomeration-preventable sweetener composition treated to prevent agglomeration by coating sweetener powder particles with dietary fiber, and to a method for preparing same.

Disclosed are shelf stable flavour compositions whose tendency to clump or cake is considerably reduced or even eliminated while also taking into account regulatory limits applicable to food products. The disclosure is further concerned with flavour compositions suitable for topical application to food products, such as snack foods. Methods for making the solid flavour composition and methods for seasoning a snack food are also disclosed.

The present disclosure relates to a free-flowing composition having controllable properties of bulk density, particle morphology, flowability and shakeability suitable, for example, for use on or in a foodstuff or a beverage. The composition includes a blend of: (i) a plurality of substantially discrete composite particles, each composite particle comprising a core of a first edible material provided with a discontinuous surface coating formed from a first plurality of non-uniformly sized particles of a second edible material; and (ii) a second plurality of non-uniformly sized particles of said second edible material. A foodstuff comprising the composition is claimed and so are methods of employing it. The application also claims a method of preparing thee composition, said method comprising the steps of: (a) combining the first edible material, provided in dry particulate form, with the second edible material, provided in dry particulate form; and (b) heating said combination to a forming temperature (T.sub.f), which is at least equal to the glass transition temperature or softening temperature of the first edible material, with concurrent mixing thereof, so as to coat particles of the first edible material with a first plurality of non-uniformly sized particles of the second edible material, thereby forming composite particles of said composition, and leaving a second plurality of non-uniformly sized particles of the second edible material remaining which are intermingled with said composite particles.

The invention pertains to powdered nutritional compositions comprising large lipid globules and micronized carbohydrate or carbohydrate microcrystals. Preferably the nutritional composition is an infant or follow on formula or a growing up milk. The invention also pertains to the use of micronized carbohydrate or carbohydrate microcrystals for improving flow and reducing cohesiveness of a powdered nutritional composition with large lipid globules.
