| abstract |
The invention concerns a readily dissolvable carrier material having sufficient rigidity for administration of drugs, nutrients, vitamins, biologically-active materials, foodstuffs and combinations thereof. This carrier material is capable of rapid dissolution by saliva, bodily fluids or other liquid comprising an interim skeletal structure of a water-soluble, hydratable gel or foam forming material, preferably a proteinaceous material, such as with maltodextran, in the hydrated state and dehydrated to leave spaces in place of hydration water. On dissolution by saliva, bodily fluids or other liquids the composition becomes a liquid system. n Further, the invention concerns a method for manufacturing this material using a desiccation step. |
