1. A method of producing a storage stable adsorbate comprising:
(a) forming a mixture which comprises:
(a1) 1 to 25 wt-%, based on total weight of the adsorbate, of 3-nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP), and
(a2) 5 to 25 wt-%, based on total weight of the adsorbate, of a gelatin, wherein
the 3-NOP and the gelatin are present in amounts to provide a weight ratio (w/w) of the 3-NOP to the gelatin of 0.1 to 1;
(b) applying the mixture of step (a) to at least 30 wt-%, based on total weight of the adsorbate, of a porous precipitated silica carrier, and thereafter
(c) allowing at least 50 wt-% of the mixture of step (a) to be adsorbed within internal pores of the silica carrier, wherein
the gelatin is present in the mixture in an amount sufficient such that 98.7% to 100% of the 3-NOP is retained within the internal pores of the silica carrier after a storage time of 3 months in a polypropylene container at 25° C. and 50% relative humidity.
