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

摘要

A food additive or feed ration for an animal contains an active agent including at least one capsaicinoid. The additive or ration is prepared by a method which includes the step of cold-state atomizing of granulating a liquid mixture containing an encapsulation fat, the active agent including at least one capsaicinoid. Solid particles of the mixture are thus produced. The cold-state atomization or the granulation act on the nature of the encapsulating fat, on the particle size, and on the temperature of the atomization step in order to control the capsaicinoid release kinetics in the digestive tract of animals.
