Disclosed are microcapsule compositions each comprising a microcapsule suspended in an aqueous phase and a viscosity control agent, wherein the viscosity control agent is an acrylate copolymer, a cationic acrylamide copolymer, or a polysaccharide. Also disclosed are consumer products containing such a microcapsule composition.

Microcapsule compositions stabilized with viscosity control agents

A metastable, translucent flavor nanoemulsion is provided. The nanoemulsion contains a flavor oil phase, an aqueous phase, and a surfactant system containing a first lecithin and a second lecithin. The nanoemulsion is free of any non-natural surfactant. The surfactant system contains free fatty acid 15% or less. The first lecithin has an HLB of 1 to 8, and the second lecithin has an HLB of 8 to 16 and contains phosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylcholine 20% or greater. Also disclosed are a method for preparing the nanoemulsion and use of the nanoemulsion in liquid beverages and liquid beverage concentrates.

Metastable, translucent flavor nanoemulsion and methods of preparing the same

A method of preparing a lysolecithin composition. The method includes the steps of (a) providing a lecithin mixture including a lecithin, water, and ethanol, (b) adding phospholipase A1 or A2 to the lecithin mixture; and (c) allowing an enzymatic reaction to occur so that at least 70% of the phospholipids in the lecithin are converted to lysophospholipids to obtain the lysolecithin composition. Also disclosed are a lysolecithin composition thus prepared, a flavor emulsion prepared from the lysolecithin composition, and a liquid beverage or liquid beverage concentrate containing the lysolecithin composition.
