Abstract
Methods are provided for the delivery of fat soluble flavor compounds into nonfat and low-fat food products in which fat components have been replaced by non-lipid fat substitutes. A flavor delivery system comprising fat globules into which elevated levels of fat soluble flavor compounds have been loaded is incorporated into nonfat and low-fat food products in order that fat soluble flavor compounds are released in a more natural and familiar sequence.
