  • METHOD AND MICROCAPSULES FOR IMPROVING ORGANOLEPTIC PROPERTIES
    Publication number: 20090269445
    Abstract: The present invention relates to microcapsules obtained by a coacervation process. The microcapsules encapsulate a heat-treated animal fat and surprisingly increase the mouthfeel properties and juiciness of food product such as meat, dog-food and animal feeds.

  • METHOD FOR PREPARING MICROCAPSULES BY COACERVATION
    Publication number: 20090253165
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing microcapsules by coacervation, and to the use of transglutaminase for cross-linking in complex coacervation. The present invention relates further to coacervation processes in general in which a material to be encapsulated is added to a solution comprising at least one colloid below the gelling temperature of the colloid. According to a method of the present invention, an emulsion or suspension of hydrophobic material is prepared after cooling a solution that includes hydrocolloids below the critical gelling temperature of a coacervate phase.

  • Encapsulated Active Ingredients, Methods of Preparation and Their Use
    Publication number: 20080206325
    Abstract: The present invention relates to particles that include an active ingredient that is encapsulated first by coacervation, and then by a glassy matrix. The glassy matrix includes 3-50 wt % of a hydrophobically modified starch, and 50-97 wt % of a starch hydrolysate. The particles are useful for encapsulating active ingredients intended for oral ingestion and may be added to food products.
