Abstract
Provided herein are emulsifier and non-digestible carbohydrate mixtures for sugar free/non-cariogenic encapsulation applications. A multi-component matrix that provides superior performance including emulsification, viscosity, and processability for spray drying is utilized. The resulting microcapsules with high loading showed high oil retention, low surface oil, and good oxidation resistance.
Claims29
An encapsulating agent comprising
- an emulsifier;
- and
- a non-digestible carbohydrate
- wherein the non-digestible carbohydrate is selected from the group consisting of
- a. a non-digestible carbohydrate with a DP less than 13;
- or
- b. a mixture comprising two or more non-digestible carbohydrates,
- wherein at least one non-digestible carbohydrate component of the mixture has a DP of less than 13;
- and
- wherein the at least one non-digestible carbohydrate component of the mixture having a DP of less than 13 is at least 5% w/w of the mixture;
- and
- wherein the encapsulating agent results in less than 1800 ppm oxidized components when tested in a sample encapsulation of 30% w/w orange oil 1× for 14 days at 50° C.
