Abstract
A microencapsulated product comprises a core, a first shell comprising a protein and being substantially carbohydrate-free, and a second shell comprising a carbohydrate and being substantially protein-free. The double shell structure provides a strong shell that makes the microcapsule suitable for use in food products. The core can be a lipid, and in particular a structured lipid with nutritional benefits, such that the nutritional benefits can be passed on to the consumer. The microcapsules of the present invention can be used in making foods products, beverage products, and mixes for making such food and beverage products.
