The present invention is concerned with a process for preparing rapidly solubilized calcium fumarate by first preparing a slurry of fumaric acid and water and a calcium containing base, combining under high shear conditions the calcium containing base with the fumaric acid slurry under temperatures not to exceed about 160°F., quenching the reaction when at least one half of the fumaric acid is neutralized and wherein the mole ratio of the calcium to fumarate is at a mole ratio ranging from 1:2 to about 1:1, and drying the mixture.

A process for making clear calcium fortified beverages containing rapidly soluble crystalline calcium fumarate as the major source of calcium comprising: preparing a water slurry of fumaric acid at a concentration of 15 to 50% and adding a calcium containing base at a concentration of 15 to 80%, wherein the calcium containing base is selected from the group consisting of ca(OH)2, CaCO3, CaO and combinations thereof and, further, wherein the added base is dry or in combination with water; combining, under high shear conditions, the calcium containing base with the fumaric acid slurry under conditions such that the temperature of the reaction does not exceed about 160°F.; quenching the reaction of from about one-half to about full neutralization of the fumaric acid such that the mole ratio of calcium to fumarate is from about 1:2 to about 1:1, and the mole ratio of calcium fumarate to water is from 1:11 to 1:35; drying the mixture to produce calcium fumarate particles having a generally crystalline structure with a majority of particles above a 400 mesh particle size; admixing an effective amount of calcium fumarate with a powdered instant beverage mix adapted to form a clear, aqueous beverage on reconstitution.
