Nanoencapsulation embeds volatile flavor compounds within nanoscale carriers to protect them from thermal degradation and volatilization.
Origin: Japanese (1998) — Japan
See full technique reference →The process typically involves spray‑drying or extrusion to form nano‑sized particles (50–200 nm) with a shell of maltodextrin, gum arabic, or whey protein isolate. The shell stabilizes the core during heating up to 120 °C and releases the active compounds when environmental triggers such as a pH shift from 5.5 to 7.0 occur.
Primary Reaction
Encapsulation of volatile flavor molecules via rapid drying or extrusion forming a protective nanoshell
