Abstract
A process for the preparation of a substantially free flowing particulate flavor by mixing an oil soluble flavor with a melted edible fat having a melting point from about 30° C. (85° F.) to 93° C. (200° F.) to form a solution of the oil soluble flavor in the melted fat, cooling the solution of the oil soluble flavor in the melted fat, with the addition of a super-cooling agent with agitation during cooling, to produce solid particles having an average diameter of from about 0.1 to 10 cm, and then, if desired, grinding these particles with a super-cooling agent to produce the substantially free flowing particulate flavor whose particles have an average diameter of less than 1 mm.
