A method for preparing a fat-coated encapsulation composition, comprising:
- (i) mixing an active agent with a molten fat, to obtain a slurry;
- (ii) cooling said slurry, to obtain a solid mass in which said active agent is dispersed in solid fat;
- and
- (iii) comminuting said solid mass,
- wherein a densifying agent is present during said mixing and cooling.
A fat-coated flavor encapsulation composition, prepared by a method comprising:
- (i) mixing an active agent with a molten fat, to obtain a slurry;
- (ii) cooling said slurry, to obtain a solid mass in which said active agent is dispersed in solid fat;
- and
- (iii) comminuting said solid mass,
- wherein said solid mass is comminuted to a particle size of 10 μm to 2000 μm.
A fat-coated encapsulation composition, comprising an active agent, wherein said active agent is coated with a layer, said layer comprising fat, a densifying agent, and ethylcellulose.
A fat-coated encapsulation composition, comprising an active agent, wherein said active agent is coated with a layer, said layer comprising fat and ethylcellulose.
