Abstract
The present invention is a method of preparing a comestible unit which disperses quickly in the mouth. The present invention also includes the product resulting from the method. The method includes initiating crystallization of shearform matrix and combining with an additive, either before or after initiating crystallization, to form flowable, compactible micro-particulates. The combination is then subjected to compacting to form a comestible unit having high structural integrity, good appearance, and excellent release characteristics.
