Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of forming flavor particles comprising spraying an emulsion of a flavor material in an aqueous coating material with a core material in a heated environment at a drying temperature, the core material being a finely-divided native starch having a gelatinization temperature higher than that of the drying temperature. The process allows much quicker and more efficient processing.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of forming flavour particles comprising a core material, flavour material and an aqueous coating material, the method comprising: step (a) of preparing a flavour emulsion of the flavour material in the aqueous coating material, and step (b) of spraying the flavour emulsion of step (a) with the core material in a heated environment at a drying temperature, the core material being a finely-divided native starch having a gelatinisation temperature higher than that of the drying temperature, which core material is gelatin-free. 2. The method according to claim 1 , in which the native starch has a gelatinisation temperature of at least 65° C. 3. The method according to claim 1 , in which the native starch is selected from those derived from maize, sorghum, rice, tapioca, sago and peas. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the weight proportion of emulsion to native starch in the flavor particle is from 1:20 to 1:5. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the weight proportion of emulsion to native starch in the flavor particle is from 1:12.5 to 1:8.3.
