Description
Flavor encapsulation protects volatile aromas and controls release in culinary preparations.
Technical
Spray‑drying forms a carbohydrate shell around volatile compounds, while high‑shear emulsification creates fat‑in‑water droplets stabilized by lecithin or xanthan gum. Liposomal vesicles of citrus oils are produced at mild pH and temperature, releasing flavor over time.
