Abstract

A process for the preparation of a substantially free flowing particulate flavor by mixing an oil soluble flavor with a melted edible fat having a melting point from about 30.degree. C. (85.degree. F.) to 93.degree. C. (200.degree. F.) to form a solution of the oil soluble flavor in the melted fat, cooling the solution of the oil soluble flavor in the melted fat, with the addition of a super-cooling agent with agitation during cooling, to produce solid particles having an average diameter of from about 0.1 to 10 cm, and then, if desired, grinding these particles with a super-cooling agent to produce the substantially free flowing particulate flavor whose particles have an average diameter of less than 1 mm.
