Described herein is a food that is suitable for use as a shelf stable nut butter based spread. The food has a protein content of at least 25% by weight, and a nut butter content of at least 50% by weight. The food retains a desirable eating experience, similar to a natural nut butter spread or a stabilized nut butter spread despite having a high protein content.

The present invention relates a powderous formulation comprising at lease one polyunsaturated fatty acid (and/or derivative thereof), which can be produced easily and which can be used in many fields of application. The powderous composition comprises (i) up to 70 weight-% (wt-%), based on the total weight of the powderous composition, of at least one polyunsaturated fatty acid, and (ii) 5-30 wt-%, based on the total weight of the powderous composition, of at least one D-glycose oligomer (preferably a maltodextrin) (G01) having a DE of <18, and (iii) 5-30 wt-%, based on the total weight of the powderous composition, of at least one D-glycose oligomer (preferably a maltodextrin) (G02) having a DE of >18, and (iv) 5-70 wt-%, based on the total weight of the powderous composition, of at least one modified polysaccharide. A food, feed and personal care formulation comprising at least one powderous composition is also claimed.

Provided is a novel coating composition for oral solid preparations. The coating composition for oral solid preparations comprises a polyvinyl alcohol-based polymer (a), a fatty acid ester of a polyol having 3 or more hydroxy groups (b), and talc (c),

wherein the fatty acid ester of a polyol having 3 or more hydroxy groups (b) has a hydrophilic lipophilic balance (HLB) value of 4.0 or more;
wherein the fatty acid ester of a polyol having 3 or more hydroxy groups (b) has 12 to 22 carbon atoms per fatty acid ester unit; and
wherein the talc (c) is present at 50% by mass or less of the whole composition.
