Estimating the term…
One aspect of the present invention relates to particulate flavouring compositions having, based on the total weight of the composition, 0.1-40 wt % of flavouring substances, 10-90 wt % of one or more hydrocolloids, and 0.1-50 wt % of a lipid material having a melting point above 75° C. These flavouring compositions are particularly suitable for application in food products (including beverages), the preparation of which involves one or more heat processing steps, as well as in confectionery products such as chewing gum. Other aspects of the invention relate to a method of producing a particulate flavouring composition, to a food product containing such a flavouring composition and to a process of manufacturing a reconstitutable food product.

A particulate flavouring composition comprising, based on the total weight of the composition, 0.1-40 wt % of flavouring substances;
A method of producing a particulate flavouring composition comprising the step of high shear mixing of water and a combination of, based on the total weight of the combination, 0.1-40 wt % of flavouring substances;
A method of producing a particulate flavouring composition comprising the step of dry blending a combination of 0.1-40 wt % of flavouring substances, 10-90 wt % of one or more hydrocolloids and 0.1-50 wt % of lipid material having a melting point above 75° C., followed by the step of extruding the obtained dry blend.
