  • Emulsions useful in beverages
    Patent number: 8318233
    Abstract: It has now been found that emulsions having a discrete phase volume fraction of 60% to 67% with excellent stability may be prepared using at least one low molecular weight surfactant. Such emulsions have high oil loading and a small mean particle size of less than 0.2 microns. Further, such emulsions may be used in beverages without weighting agents.
    Type: Grant

  • SUGAR FREE / NON-CARIOGENIC ENCAPSULATION MATRIX
    Publication number: 20120231122
    Abstract: Provided herein are emulsifier and non-digestible carbohydrate mixtures for sugar free/non-cariogenic encapsulation applications. A multi-component matrix that provides superior performance including emulsification, viscosity, and processability for spray drying is utilized. The resulting microcapsules with high loading showed high oil retention, low surface oil, and good oxidation resistance.
