Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to vitreous aroma particles and the preparation thereof, as well as to the use thereof in foods, consumer articles and pharmaceuticals.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. Aroma particles comprising a matrix and an aroma that have been prepared by extrusion of an aromatised melt followed by die-face pelletisation while the aromatised melt is still in an unsolidified state, wherein the matrix of the aroma particles contains from 20 to 80 wt. % carbohydrate polymers having an average molecular weight greater than 1000, and glucose in a quantity of from 0.5 to 5 wt. %, based on the total weight of the melt. 2. Aroma particles according to claim 1 , wherein the matrix of the aroma particles contains from 30 to 70 wt. % carbohydrate polymers having an average molecular weight greater than 1000. 3. Aroma particles according to claim 1 , wherein the matrix of the aroma particles contains from 40 to 60 wt. % carbohydrate polymers having an average molecular weight greater than 1000. 4. Aroma particles according to claim 1 , wherein the matrix of the aroma particles contains an emulsifier. 5. Aroma particles according to claim 4 , wherein the matrix contains monoglycerides in a quantity of from 0.5 to 3 wt. %. 6. Aroma particles according to claim 1 , wherein aroma particles have a glass transition temperature within the range 30 to 100° C. 7. Aroma particles according to claim 1 , wherein the matrix of the aroma particles contains 30 to 70 wt-% water-soluble compounds having molecular weights within the range of 90 to 950. 8. Aroma particles comprising a matrix and an aroma that have been prepared by extrusion of an aromatised melt followed by die-face pelletisation at the die-face while the aromatised melt is still in an unsolidified state, wherein the matrix of the aroma particles contains: 30 to 70 wt. % carbohydrate polymers having an average molecular weight greater than 1000, and 30 to 70 wt-% water-soluble compounds having molecular weights within the range of 90 to 950, and glucose in a quantity of from 0.5 to 5 wt. %, based on the total weight of the aromatised melt. 9. Aroma particles according to claim 8 , wherein the matrix of the aroma particles contains from 40 to 60 wt. % carbohydrate polymers having an average molecular weight greater than 1000, and 40 to 60 wt-% water-soluble compounds having molecular weights within the range of 90 to 950, based on the total weight of the aromatised melt. 10. Aroma particles according to claim 8 , wherein the matrix of the aroma particles contains an emulsifier. 11. Aroma particles according to claim 10 , wherein the matrix contains monoglycerides in a quantity of from 0.5 to 3 wt. %. 12. Aroma particles according to claim 8 , wherein said particles have a glass transition temperature within the range 30 to 100° C.
