Composition and method of stabilized sensitive ingredient

A method of stabilizing a sensitive ingredient:

• comprising the steps of;
• (a) preparing a mixture of an alkali metal alginate;
• (b) adding to said mixture a sensitive ingredient;
• (c) creating a stream of said mixture comprising the sensitive ingredient;
• (d) cutting said stream to form a sphere;
• (e) dropping said sphere into a source of chitosan;
• and
• (f) forming a coated sphere within a first protective coating comprising a chitosan alginate.

A method of producing a composition comprising a sensitive ingredient comprising the following steps:

• (a) preparing a mixture of an alkali metal alginate;
• (b) adding to said mixture a sensitive ingredient;
• (c) creating a stream of said mixture comprising the sensitive ingredient;
• (d) cutting said stream to form a sphere;
• (e) dropping said sphere into a source of chitosan;
• (f) forming a coated sphere within a protective coating comprising a chitosan alginate;
• (g) mixing said coated sphere with a base food;
• and
• (h) forming a composition.

A method of stabilizing a sensitive ingredient:

• comprising the steps of;
• (a) preparing a mixture of an alkali metal alginate with a sensitive ingredient;
• (b) adding water to said mixture;
• (c) creating a dough of said mixture comprising said sensitive ingredient;
• (d) extruding said mixture to form a sphere;
• (e) dropping said sphere into a source of chitosan;
• and
• (f) forming a coated sphere within a first protective coating comprising a chitosan alginate.

A method of stabilizing a sensitive ingredient:

• comprising the steps of;
• (a) preparing a first mixture of a hydrophobic material with a sensitive ingredient;
• (b) forming a second protective coating with said sensitive ingredient located with in said second protective coating;
• (c) preparing a second mixture of an alkali metal alginate with said first mixture;
• (d) adding water to said second mixture;
• (e) creating a dough of said second mixture comprising the sensitive ingredient;
• (f) extruding said second mixture;
• (g) forming a sphere of said second mixture;
• (h) dropping said sphere into a source of chitosan to form a coated sphere within a first protective coating of a chitosan alginate.
