Abstract: The present invention is a method and a dosage unit for delivery of a controlled-release system. The dosage unit is a quick dissolve unit which can be prepared by mixing uncured shearform matrix and a controlled-release system, either molding or compacting a unit dosage form and curing the shearform matrix. The controlled-release systems used in the present invention include instantaneous release components, delayed release components, sustained release components, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: Solid delivery systems for highly volatile flavor oils which include a stabilized, substantially non-volatile mixture of a highly volatile flavor oil or flavor component and a medium chain triglyceride are disclosed. The stabilized mixtures may be absorbed or adsorbed onto a non-fat solid substrate and incorporated into a saccharide based matrix and flash flow processed. The delivery systems may be added to chewing gum and confectionery products, as well as other pharmaceutical and comestible preparations.

Abstract: Discrete entities of a solid suspension are made from a solid fat matrix and a non-fat solid substrate having an active associated with said substrate. These entities are spheroidal in shape, have uniform size and substantially the same active content due to the flash flow process used to make them. They are especially useful as delivery systems for comestibles, pharmaceuticals and personal products.

Abstract: The present invention is a new spheroidal polycrystallite product and a process for making the same. In the present invention amorphous sugar is transformed to crystalline sugar by hydrating rather than dehydrating sugar. The product of the present invention is unique in shape, size, and possesses a high degree of uniformity.

Abstract: A controlled melting point matrix is disclosed. The matrix is formed by admixing low melting point hydrophobic materials with a substantially amorphous material obtained from subjecting a feedstock to conditions of temperature and pressure which induce flash flow of the feedstock. The admixture is then subjected to conditions which induce at least partial crystallization of the substantially amorphous material thereby capturing the hydrophobic material and providing the controlled melting point matrix of the invention. Methods of producing a controlled melting point matrix are disclosed. Methods of using controlled melting point matrices to form improved comestibles are also disclosed.
