  • ENCAPSULATED PARTICLES
    Publication number: 20090227486
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for making starch encapsulated ingredients where a mixture of starch, water, acid and ingredient for encapsulation is prepared. The mixture is atomised and dried to provide encapsulates that can retain high levels of encapsulated ingredient. When the encapsulated ingredient comprises oil, the invention reduces the levels of free oil on the outside of the encapsulates and surprisingly reduces explosivity of fines produced during the manufacturing process. The preferred acid is citric acid.
    Type: Application
