Publication number: 20090208604Abstract: The present invention relates to food ingredients, or entire food products, that contain fats or oils, and, dispersed with the fat or oil, flavor capsules. The flavor capsules include a micro-organism, a surrounding matrix component and at least one flavor, which is mainly present within the micro-organism. The food or food ingredients may be used as such, or as coatings or fillings for conventional food products. The fat or oil based food ingredient of the invention has increased flavor intensity if compared to similar food ingredients in which the flavor is not encapsulated. The flavors are immediately released upon consumption of the food or food ingredient. Owing to the particular encapsulation of flavors, the food ingredient is largely resistant to flavor evaporation due to elevated temperatures during food manufacturing processes.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2006Publication date: August 20, 2009Inventors: Jerôme Barra, Anh Le, Catherine F. Maurel, Michael Chiaverini, Jonathan F. Gordon, Valéry Normand

Publication number: 20070269553Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing a flavored food product, and to a method for reducing loss of flavors in a flavored product due to heat treatments. Loss of flavors by evaporation at high temperatures could be prevented by applying coating solutions in which water and encapsulated flavors have been mixed at 0.5% to 30 wt. % of capsules based on micro-organisms, a matrix component and encapsulated flavors. The coating solution was applied in high temperature coating processes or processes including heat treatment following the coating step and resulted in surprising retention of flavors in the coated food product.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2007Publication date: November 22, 2007Inventors: Anh Le, Jerome Barra, Catherine Maurel, Jonathan Gordon, Michael Chiaverini, Valery Normand
