Patent number: 8017060Abstract: The invention describes a process for the preparation of a granular delivery system particularly useful for the controlled release of flavoring or perfuming ingredients. The process includes the steps of forming a concentrated, highly viscous emulsion of the active compound to be encapsulated, blending the latter with a hydrophilic polymer in an extruder and shaping it into a granular free flowing solid at usual storage temperatures. The process of the invention is particularly appropriate for the encapsulation of volatile molecules as it avoids any dehydration step before or after extrusion.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2004Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: Firmenich SAInventors: Daniel Benczedi, Pierre-Etienne Bouquerand, Ernst Steinboeck

Patent number: 6607771Abstract: A process for shaping into a granular form a delivery system for the controlled release of flavor or fragrance compounds. This process includes the steps of preparing a mixture of a continuous phase carrier containing a volatile flavor or fragrance compound or composition finely divided therein and having a low water content. This guarantees that the glass transition temperature of the mixture is the glass transition temperature of the final product. The mixture is then heated within a screw extruder to a temperature of between 90 and 130° C. to form a molten mass, the molten mass is extruded through a die and then chopped as it exits the die. The latter step is performed at a temperature above the glass transition temperature of the carrier.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2001Date of Patent: August 19, 2003Assignee: Firmenich SAInventors: Daniel Benczedi, Pierre-Etienne Bouquerand
