Abstract
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.
