Abstract
Abstract Method for producing a powdery-flavor-coated powdery-condiment particle comprising (1) wetting the surface of a powdery condiment material with water or a hydrophilic solvent, (2) contacting the wetted particle with a second powdery condiment material (3) causing the second material to adhere to the wetted particle by drying the mixture with a hot gas of controlled temperature and humidity whereby a uniformly coated condiment particle is formed. Materials used as flavors or condiments include sodium chloride, 5-nucleotides and amino acids.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
193 words
A method for producing a powdery condiment composition wherein sodium chloride as a powdery material to be coated is coated with at least one of flavorous 5''-nucleotides and flavorous amino acids as powdery coating agent, or wherein a flavorous amino acid as a powdery material to be coated is coated with a flavorous 5''-nucleotide as a powdery coating agent, which method comprises (1) wetting the surface of about 80-99 parts by weight of the powdery material to be coated with about 3-6 percent, by weight of the powdery material to be coated, of at least one of water and a hydrophilic organic solvent as wetting agent, (2) admixing about 1-20 parts by weight of the powdery coating agent with the wetted powdery material to be coated, (3) allowing the coating agent to adhere to the surface of the material to be coated by contacting the mixture of step 3 with a hot gas whose temperature and relative humidity are about 20-100* C. and about 80-95 percent respectively, and (4) drying the resultant material by contact with a hot gas whose temperature and relative humidity are about 30-100* C. and about 1-85 percent respectively.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
