    Publication number: 20100272859
    Abstract: A complex coacervate delivery system is provided which encapsulates water-insoluble flavorants. The complex coacervate delivery system provides a stable dispersion of water-insoluble flavorant in an aqueous system, and also protects the flavorant from degradation, e.g., by oxidation or hydrolysis. The complex coacervate delivery system upon ingestion is operative to release at least a substantial portion of the flavorant in the mouth in a pH-controlled manner. The complex coacervate delivery system may be included in a food or beverage product having a pH value within the range of about 1.5 to about 5.0.

  • DELIVERY AND CONTROLLED RELEASE OF ENCAPSULATED LIPOPHILIC NUTRIENTS
    Publication number: 20090061048
    Abstract: A complex coacervate delivery system is provided which encapsulates lipophilic nutrients such as, for example, fish oils high in omega-3 fatty acids. The complex coacervate delivery system protects the lipophilic nutrient from degradation, e.g., oxidation and hydrolysis, and also reduces or eliminates the unpleasant taste and odor of the lipophilic nutrient. The complex coacervate delivery system upon ingestion is operative to substantially release the lipophilic nutrient in the lower gastrointestinal tract in a pH-controlled manner. The complex coacervate delivery system may be included in a food or beverage product having a pH value within the range of about 1.5 to about 5.0.
