Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing a flavored food product, and to a method for reducing loss of flavors in a flavored product due to heat treatments. Loss of flavors by evaporation at high temperatures could be prevented by applying coating solutions in which water and encapsulated flavors have been mixed at 0.5% to 30 wt. % of capsules based on micro-organisms, a matrix component and encapsulated flavors. The coating solution was applied in high temperature coating processes or processes including heat treatment following the coating step and resulted in surprising retention of flavors in the coated food product.
