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

Abstract:

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.
