Estimating the term…
The present invention provides an antimicrobial material in an encapsulated form, comprising (i) a core comprising an antimicrobial material and (ii) a shell of encapsulating material, wherein the shell of encapsulating material is impermeable to the antimicrobial material. The invention further provides a process for introducing an antimicrobial material into a foodstuff comprising (i) providing the antimicrobial material in an encapsulated form comprising a core of antimicrobial material and shell of encapsulating material, and (ii) introducing encapsulated antimicrobial material into or onto the foodstuff.
An antimicrobial material in an encapsulated form, comprising (i) a core comprising an antimicrobial material is at least selected from nisin and natamycin, wherein the core includes a lipid and (ii) a shell of encapsulating material, wherein the shell comprises a triglyceride, wherein the shell of encapsulating material is impermeable to the antimicrobial material and comprises a hydrophobic shell material having a melting point above about 45° C., and wherein the shell prevents, reduces or inhibits heat degradation of the antimicrobial material when heated to a temperature of at least 60° C.
