Abstract

The present invention is in the field of the flavouring of foods. In particular, the present invention is directed to a process for the encapsulation of flavours and/or aromas. The particles are then later incorporated into the end preparation (the food), such as, for example, instant coffee. The focus is in particular firstly to obtain particles with high aroma loading in order to ensure a long-lasting aroma protection during storage, and secondly to control the particle properties in such a way that an optimum miscibility of the particles with foods is made possible. Decisive aspects in this connection are primarily shape, size and particle density. These aspects together are intended to bring about an improved taste experience for the end consumer when consuming the particles.
