Abstract
The invention relates to a complex coacervate encapsulate comprising a lipophilic core and a hydrophilic wall, wherein the wall substantially covers the core, wherein the wall substantially consists of beta-lactoglobulin and one or more polymers having an isoelectric point below that of beta-lactoglobulin.

A complex coacervate encapsulate comprising a lipophilic core and a hydrophilic wall, wherein the wall substantially covers the core, characterized in that the wall substantially consists of beta-lactoglobulin and one or more polymers having an isoelectric point below that of beta-lactoglobulin.
Process for the preparation of a complex coacervate encapsulate, wherein an emulsion of an oil-phase in an aqueous solution or dispersion of beta-lactoglobulin and one or more polymers having an isoelectric point below that of beta-lactoglobulin is subjected to a pH change, such that a complex coacervate encapsulate of beta-lactoglubulin and polymer is formed.
