  • Publication number: 20100022437
    Abstract: Agglomerating carrier materials in the presence of a granulation liquid with a carbohydrate content and subsequent incorporation of a liquid, such as a perfume oil, yields fluid-containing particles that, even at an elevated liquid loading, exhibit very good powder properties and reliably retain the incorporated liquid even in aggressive solid matrices. These fluid-containing particles may be used, for example, for fragrancing purposes.
