MICRO-ENCAPSULATED CAPSICUM, METHOD FOR PREPARING THE SAME AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to the preparation of a food additive or feed ration for an animal containing an active agent including at least one capsaicinoid by a method that comprises the step of cold-state atomising (10) of granulating a liquid mixture (2) containing an encapsulation fat and the active agent including at least one capsaicinoid. Solid particles (5) of the mixture are thus produced. The cold-state atomisation or the granulation act on the nature of the encapsulating fat, on the particle size and on the temperature of the atomisation step in order to control the capsaicinoid release kinetics in the digestive tract of animals.
