Abstract

The present invention discloses liquid compositions that include an active compound, water, and means for inhibiting crystal formation or precipitation of the active compound in the liquid composition.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of preventing crystal formation or precipitation of an active compound in a liquid composition, the method comprising:
mixing a means for inhibiting crystal formation or precipitation of an active compound in an aqueous solution with water and the active compound;
wherein the active compound is present in the liquid composition at a concentration above the crystallization point of the active compound;
wherein the active compound is selected from the group consisting of an amino acid, ammonium sulfate, and a combination thereof; and
wherein the liquid composition comprises less than 50% fat.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the means for inhibiting crystal formation or precipitation of the active compound is lecithin.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the active compound is lysine.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the lysine is in a free base form.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising mixing a dried biomass with the liquid composition.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the means for inhibiting crystal formation or precipitation is present at a concentration of 0.1-5% by weight, at a concentration of between 0.5-4% by weight, at a concentration of between 1-3% by weight, or at a concentration of between 1-2% by weight.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising mixing further comprising mixing a suspending agent in the liquid composition.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the active compound is lysine and is present at an amount of at least 55% by weight, at least 60% by weight, at least 65% by weight, at least 70% by weight, at least 75% by weight, or at least 80% by weight.
