Abstract
A microcapsule having a core, a shell and seeds fully or partially embedded in said shell. The core and seeds are active substances which preferably function as a leavening agent. The shell is composed of either a water soluble or meltable natural polymer, including vegetable waxes. When the shell is ruptured, the active substances will react with each other and the dough mixture thereby producing a leavening effect and/or dough conditioning effect in baked goods.
