High Integrity Encapsulation Product with Insoluble Fibers. A particulate extrusion encapsulation product in a glassy state is described including an encapsulate, encapsulated in a glassy matrix. The glassy matrix includes at least one modified starch, at least one carbohydrate and at least one insoluble fiber. The load of the encapsulate is typically from 0.01% to 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the encapsulation product. A method of making the particulate extrusion encapsulation product and food products containing the extrusion encapsulation product are also described.

High integrity encapsulation product

A glassy, particulate, melt extrusion encapsulation composition and a process of making the composition are described. The encapsulation composition is highly soluble in aqueous systems, has a low level of encapsulate on the surface of the particles, and has a narrow particle size and shape distribution. Food systems containing the encapsulation composition are also described.

Extrusion encapsulation with narrow particle size and shape distribution, high solubility, and low surface oil

A glassy extrusion encapsulation composition and a method of making the composition are provided. The encapsulation composition comprises an encapsulate encapsulated in a glassy matrix comprising 0.5 to 12% by weight, based on the total weight of the glassy matrix, of at least one surface active plant extract, and 88 to 99.5% of at least one carbohydrate. The addition of a surface active plant extract to a carbohydrate matrix markedly increases the load of an encapsulate in the encapsulation composition. Such glassy matrices are useful for encapsulation of encapsulates, for example, flavors and medications. A food composition containing the encapsulation composition is also provided.

Extrusion encapsulation of actives at an increased load, using surface active plant extracts

Active encapsulation compositions which are stable in the glassy state at ambient temperatures are prepared by melt extrusion of a ternary carrier blend comprising of 1) a food polymer, 2) a spice or herb, and 3) a low molecular weight sugar or polyol. Such glassy matrices are useful for the encapsulation of encapsulates, in particular, flavors and medications.

Encapsulation compositions in which an encapsulate (A) is encapsulated in a matrix (B) may be prepared by:

Matrix compositions which contain a mixture of two different food polymers are useful for encapsulating encapsulates, such as flavoring agents.
