PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a food ingredients, or entire food products, that contain fats or oils, and flavor capsules dispersed with the fat or oil.SOLUTION: Flavor capsules include a micro-organism, a surrounding matrix component and at least one flavor, which is mainly present within the micro-organism. Foods or food ingredients can be used as such, or as coatings or fillings for conventional food products. The fat or oil based food ingredient has increased flavor intensity if compared to similar food ingredients in which the flavor is not encapsulated. The flavors are immediately released upon consumption of the food or food ingredient. Owing to the particular encapsulation of flavors, the food ingredient is largely resistant to flavor evaporation due to elevated temperatures during food manufacturing processes. |
