NATURAL ENCAPSULATED FLAVORING PRODUCTS Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC A23L27/10 A23L27/30 A23P10/30 A23P10/47 A23P30/20 B01J13/02 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the encapsulation of natural flavoring products. An extrusion encapsulated aromatizant in the form of particles, free from chemical modification, contains a liquid flavor encapsulated in a natural glassy matrix. The matrix contains at least one high-molecular component, including maltodextrin, dextrin, fructans, larch gum or mixtures thereof, at least one low-molecular component, including sugar, polyol, dry corn molasses or mixtures thereof, preferably maltose, trehalose, dextrose, lactose, fructose, xylose, sucrose, erythritol, maltitol, mannitol, xylitol, sorbitol, lactitol or mixtures thereof, and optionally up to about 2% by weight of the emulsifier. The emulsifier is a polysorbate or at least one natural emulsifier selected from the group: quillaya extract, yucca extract, soy saponins and lecithin. The invention relates to a method for producing the above-mentioned extrusion encapsulated flavoring product in the form of particles, free from chemical modification, by mixing and melting in a prefabricated extruder the natural components of the matrix, including the above-mentioned high-molecular and low-molecular components, optionally up to about 2% by weight of the above-mentioned emulsifier, liquid flavor to form a viscous dispersion, molding, extrusion and cutting on the outer surface of the forming head of a viscous dispersion to form extrusion encapsulated products in the form of particles, drying and cooling the extrusion encapsulated products in the form of particles to a glassy state. The amount of liquid flavor encapsulated in a natural glassy matrix is increased to an amount equal to or greater than 5% by weight by increasing the polarity of the liquid flavor measured by the dielectric constant at 20°C and a fixed electric field frequency of 10 kHz, which is at least 5 and at most 30. The invention relates to a food product containing an extrusion encapsulated flavoring product in the form of particles.

EFFECT: invention secures a high delivery of the flavoring agent, while the addition of a smaller number of flavoring particles provides a comparable flavoring effect.
