Abstract
The present invention deals with compositions and methods for preparing comestible units which disperse quickly in the mouth, especially when chewed. The present invention also includes the product made therefrom. The method includes initiating crystallization of shearform matrix with crystallization/bindig promoter and combining it with an additive to form flowable, compactible micro-particulates. The combination is then shaped to form a comestible unit having high structural integrity, good appearance, and excellent release characteristics.
