Solid dispersion of amide flavor compounds

A method of improving the dissolution rate in water of a compound of Formula (I)

• in the form of any one of its stereoisomers or a mixture thereof, and wherein n is an integer from 0 to 2;
• the dotted line represents a carbon-carbon single or double bond;
• and each of R1 to R4, when taken independently from each other, represents a hydrogen atom or represents a R5 or OR5 group, R5 representing a C1 to C5 alkyl group;
• and optionally one of the groups R1 to R4 represents —OH;
• and or when R1 and are taken together, author R3 and R4 are taken together, represent a OCH2O group, provided said groups taken together are adjacent substituents of the phenyl group comprising:
• a. dissolving the compound in a water miscible solvent at a high concentration;
• b. mixing the solution with an aqueous solution in the presence of a water soluble stabilizer to form a solvent mixture comprising a suspension of crystals of the compound;
• and
• c. removing the solvent to obtain a solid dispersion of the compound coated by the stabilizer.
