  • Preparation and use of hydrogels
    Publication number: 20060240076
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to a method for preparing a hydrogel in dry conditions that contains high loading of the active ingredient, preferably flavor or fragrance molecules. The hydrogel compositions are initially in solid form and preferably extruded and sized to form the desired shape and size. The actual hydrogel is formed in-situ from the uptake of water that is present in the suspending medium. The hydrogels have the following properties: contain of up to 40% of active ingredient prior to the water uptake; retain color and particle identity in high moisture systems; and retain color and particle identity at elevated temperature.

  • Method for delivering fresh flavor in an on-premise beverage
    Publication number: 20060172056
    Abstract: Fresh flavor is delivered to an on-premise beverage at the point of dispense. Flavor compounds are incorporated in a separate component and then the separated flavor component is mixed with other beverage components at the time of dispense. More specifically, tea flavor compounds are incorporated in a separate sweetener component and then the tea flavor/sweetener component is mixed with other iced tea beverage components at the time of dispense.
