Method for preparing nanolipids with encapsulated alcohol

摘要

A method for preparing ethanol-containing nanolipid particles, which can be used in food products, frozen desserts, or beverages. The method comprises nanolipidic vehicles in which ethanol-containing substances are encapsulated, said ethanol-containing nanolipidic vehicles can be combined with food products, desserts or beverage ingredients including those that are subsequently frozen. The food product, dessert or beverage can remain in a frozen state during consumption by an individual. A composition comprising ethanol-containing nanolipid particles, which can be used in food products, frozen desserts, or beverages.

1. A method for making nanolipidic particle (NLP) carriers having ethanol passenger loaded within said nanolipidic particles, comprising the steps of:
(a) providing a precursor stock, said precursor stock prepared by solubilizing phosphoiipids in a first quantity of ethanol solvent, adding a quantity of water to form a turbid suspension then adding a second quantity of ethanol solvent to produce an opticaily-clear shelf-stable precursor stock; (b) diluting said precursor stock with a third quantity of ethanol solvent which results in a solvent-diluted precursor stock having one or more unloaded nanolipidic particles (NLP); (c) dissolving an ethanol-containing substance that is an alcoholic product suitable for human consumption into an aqueous solvent to produce an aqueous-ethanol monophase passenger solution; and (d) mixing said solvent-diluted precursor stock having one or more unloaded nanolipidic particles (NLP) formed in step (b) with said aqueous-ethanol monophase passenger solution produced in step (c) to form a combined NLP stock, wherein said one or more unloaded nanolipidic particles (NLP) in said combined NLP stock becomes loaded with the ethanol-containing substance from said aqueous-ethanol monophase passenger solution as a passenger yielding one or more ethanol-loaded nanolipidic particle carriers, and said one or more ethanol-loaded nanolioidic carriers varie in size as it becomes loaded with said aqueous-ethanol monophase passenger solution.
