Abstract: Particulate flavoring materials are provided having a flavoring oil fixed in a particulate matrix containing lactose and a starch hydrolysate. The ratio of lactose to the starch hydrolysate in the particulate matrix is such that at least about 30% flavoring oil per total particulate matrix is entrapped in the matrix and less than about 4% flavoring oil per total matrix is unentrapped on the surface of the particles. The particulate flavoring materials herein provided thus effectively fix flavoring volatiles for storage without vaporization and/or chemical alteration of the flavoring power. The high quantity of flavoring oil contained per unit weight of matrix material in the flavoring particles provides significant economies with regard to storage, transportation, and manufacturing costs.
