Effervescent granules with delayed effervescent effect
First Claim
1. Effervescent granules with delayed effervescent effect, consisting of at least one acid component and one gas-evolving component of alkali hydrogen carbonate, alkali carbonate, and/or alkaline-earth carbonate particles evolving gas under the action of acid, as well as of active substances, fragrances, plant extracts, vitamins, minerals admixed as needed, the at least one acid component comprising particles coated with at least one of the following compounds:
- alkali carbonate, alkali hydrogen carbonate, alkaline-earth carbonate, alkaline-earth oxide, hydrocolloid, wherein the particles of the gas-evolving component are coated with a melt of polyethylene glycol or mixtures of polyethylene glycols.

Abstract
The effervescent granules with delayed effervescent effect consist of at least one acid component and one component evolving gas under the action of acid, as well as of active substances, fragrances, plant extracts, vitamins, minerals etc. admixed as needed, the particles of the acid component being coated with—preferably 1 to 30% by weight of—at least one carbonate compound—possibly including a partial reaction—and/or a hydrocolloid. The gas-evolving component consists of alkali hydrogen carbonate, alkali carbonate, and/or alkaline-earth carbonate particles which are coated with at least one further substance, particularly with a melt of polyethylene glycol 6000. The particles preferably have a grain size above 0.2 mm.
