A process for stabilizing a sensitive substance; (a) plating a sensitive substance onto a solid carrier under a controlled atmosphere to reduce loss of the sensitive substance; (b) encapsulating the plated material under controlled atmosphere and airflow to reduce volatilization during the process and stabilize the sensitive substance.

Sensitive substance encapsulation

The present invention is an encapsulated substrate, and in particular, a substrate encapsulated with a low melt vegetable oil. The use of a low melt vegetable oil has several advantages over conventional vegetable oil products, especially when used in food systems. In one embodiment, the low melt vegetable oil is a high laurate vegetable oil, and in particular, a canola high laurate vegetable oil. In another embodiment, a food grade acid is encapsulated with a low melt oil, and the encapsulated acid is used in the manufacture of low temperature meat products such as sausage. In another embodiment, a live culture of microorganisms is encapsulated using the low melt vegetable oil.
