Abstract

A stable liquid suspension of an encapsulated flavor oil, oleoresin or spice in a gel matrix is prepared by forming a gel matrix in an aqueous medium with high shear mixing of a colloidal gelling agent at a temperature above the freezing point of the aqueous medium and preferably below ambient temperature and dispersing and encapsulating the flavor oil, oleoresin or spice in the gel matrix during the formation of the gel matrix.
