Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides a binding formulation that agglomerates or binds dispersed particles into a granular composition, which comprises (i) particles comprising an active agent and (ii) a binding agent comprising a lignin-derived material and a mixture of sugar alcohols, wherein the ratio of the lignin-derived material to the mixture of sugar alcohols is sufficient to generate granules which are substantially spherical and/or crush resistant; wherein the mixture of sugar alcohols comprises an amount of monosaccharides up to about 15%, an amount of disaccharides up to about 20%, and an amount of hydrogenated starch hydrolysates (HSH) up to about 50% or more; and wherein the active agent is an agriculturally active agent, a pharmaceutically active agent, or a food product.
