Title: Quick-dissolving powdered drink and method therefore

Abstract: A quick-dissolving, sucrose and acid-containing drink mix is prepared by binding particles of a water-soluble carbonate onto the surface of sucrose granules such that the CO₂ -generation which occurs when the mix is dissolved in water promotes rapid dissolution of the sucrose. The level of CO₂ -generator is insufficient to produce a carbonated beverage and desirably an antifoam agent is included in the mix.
