A DRY CLOUDING AGENT FOR DRY BEVERAGE MIXES AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURE THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to a dry clouding agent for dry beverage mixes prepared by drying an aqueous mixture, which, on a dry weight basis, comprises (a) from 15 to 35 % by weight of finely divided TiO2 ; (b) from 35 to 55 % by weight of a suspending agent; and (c) from 20 to 40 % by weight of a spacing agent with the proviso that the weight ratio of TiO2 to suspending agent is 1:1.1 to 1:3. Further the invention relates to a method for producing said clouding agent which can be used in dry beverage mixes. Those beverage mixes provide increased opacity stability properties in the aqueous beverages produced therefrom.
