Abstract

A spray-dried composition comprising a volatile and/or labile component in a carrier, is further encapsulated in an extruded glassy matrix comprising: PA1 (a) from about 40 to about 80 percent by weight of a water-soluble, chemically-modified starch having a dextrose equivalent not greater than about 2; PA1 (b) from about 10 to about 40 percent by weight of a maltodextrin having a dextrose equivalent in the range of from about 5 to about 15; PA1 (c) from about 5 to about 20 percent by weight of corn syrup solids or a polydextrose having a dextrose equivalent in the range of from about 21 to about 42; and PA1 (d) from about 5 to about 20 percent by weight of a mono- or disaccharide. The resultant glassy matrices are useful for introducing and/or retaining and/or stabilizing the volatile and/or labile components in cooked and uncooked food products.
