  • Patent number: 6444253
    Abstract: An anhydrous flavor delivery system being a clear liquid at a temperature of 30° C. which can be used to produce finished drinks and foods wherein the flavors are unexpectedly stabilized against flavor degradation and off note development. The flavor delivery system contains (a) 10-40% by weight of a flavoring composition, (b) 20-50% by weight of a surfactant system consisting essentially of one or more surfactants, (c) 20-50% by weight of an alcoholic composition consisting essentially of one or more alcohols with two or more hydroxy groups per molecule, wherein the total amount of ingredients (a), (b), and (c) is at least 90% by weight. The flavor delivery system can be obtained by (a) mixing corresponding amounts of said flavoring and said surfactant system, (b) adding a corresponding amount of said alcoholic composition to the mixture obtained by step (a), and (c) mixing the admixture obtained by step (b).
