Abstract
In some embodiments there is a composition including a thermally stabilized active composition and a high molecular weight polymer. The thermally stabilized active composition is resistance to degradation at higher temperatures such as those used for conducting extrusion with high molecular weight polyvinyl aceate.
Claims21
A composition comprising:
- a thermally stabilized active composition and
- a high molecular weight polymer.
An encapsulated sweetener composition provided by:
- (a) preparing a thermally stabilized sucralose composition;
- (b) combining said thermally stabilized sucralose composition with a polymer;
- (c) melting and extruding said thermally stabilized sucralose composition with said polymer providing an encapsulated composition;
- and
- (d) forming said encapsulated compositions to a suitable particle size.
A method of preparing an encapsulated active composition comprising:
- (a) preparing a thermally stabilized active composition;
- (b) combining said thermally stabilized active composition with a polymer;
- (c) melting and extruding said thermally stabilized active composition with said polymer providing an encapsulated composition;
- and
- (d) forming said encapsulated compositions to a suitable particle size.
A gum composition comprising:
- (a) a gum base;
- and
- (b) an at least partially encapsulated sweetener composition comprising:
- (i) a thermally stabilized sucralose composition;
- and
- (ii) a high molecular weight polymer, said polymer at least partially encapsulating said thermally stabilized sucralose composition.
A method of preparing an encapsulated active comprising combining a thermally stablized active composition with a polymer followed by melting and extruding said thermally stabilized active and said polymer to provide an encapsulated active composition.
