摘要:
Flavor encapsulation is generally performed by mixing flavor with a prolamin solution and drying the mixture into powdered forms of encapsulated flavor. In one embodiment, flavor and zein are separately dispersed in an alcohol-water mixture of appropriate ratio prior to mixing. In another embodiment, an aqueous food comprising bioactive components is mixed with the prolamin solution, thereby initiating precipitation of the prolamin and concentration of the bioactive components in said aqueous food. Resulting powdered forms of encapsulated flavor comprise the bioactive components from the aqueous food. In another embodiment, a two-phase drying process may be employed comprising removal of alcohol for evaporation- induced-self-assembly of zein microstructures, followed by removal of remaining water to produce said powdered form.

摘要:
Gelatin capsules encapsulating an aroma material including at least one aroma compound may be applied to product packaging, such as food packaging, container (100) etc., with a secondary protective coating, e.g., at the interface of a container and its closure device. The gelatin capsules can be ruptured or broken when the container is opened, thereby releasing the aroma compound and causing a favorable aroma for the consumer. The secondary protective coating can reduce or prevent degradation of the gelatin capsules during product packaging, transport, and storage, thereby enhancing their performance.
摘要:
A method for increasing the concentration of terpene compounds in liquids, especially beverages, comprises adding a flavor compound more polar than the terpene compound to the latter and forming a microemulsion in the presence of a surfactant.
摘要:
Methods are disclosed for fortifying a sports drink with one or more citrus phytochemicals while concealing the bitter taste of these compounds in the beverage. These methods comprise microencapsulating the citrus phytochemicals and adding the microencapsulated citrus phytochemicals to the beverage. Also disclosed are sports drinks fortified with one or more microencapsulated citrus phytochemicals but which do not have the bitter taste characteristics of these compounds.
摘要:
A complex coacervate delivery system is provided which encapsulates water- insoluble flavorants. The complex coacervate delivery system provides a stable dispersion of water-insoluble flavorant in an aqueous system, and also protects the flavorant from degradation, e.g., by oxidation or hydrolysis. The complex coacervate delivery system upon ingestion is operative to release at least a substantial portion of the flavorant in the mouth in a pH-controlled manner. The complex coacervate delivery system may be included in a food or beverage product having a pH value within the range of about 1.5 to about 5.0.

An anhydrous flavor delivery composition comprising a water-insoluble component, a surfactant and an alcohol is provided. In addition, a method of making the anhydrous flavor delivery composition and a method of flavoring a beverage are provided.
