COATED PARTICLES

摘要

A coated particle is disclosed comprising a core, a first innermost layer coating the core, a second middle layer coating the first innermost layer and a third outermost layer coating the second middle layer, wherein the core comprises at least a water-in-oil emulsion or a fat and/or oil, wherein the first innermost layer comprises at least one emulsifier and, wherein the second middle layer comprises either one or more polyanions or one or more polycations and the third outermost layer comprises one or more polyelectrolytes only of opposing charge to that of the polyanions or polycations of the second middle layer. The inventors have observed that the particle has improved stability, particularly when the particles are small as the forces between said small particles to aggregate is greater and simultaneously provides a delivery vehicle for included actives and/or flavours. A method for the manufacture of the particle is also disclosed as is a product selected from the group consisting of a food product, a home care product, a personal care product and a pharmaceutical product, wherein each product comprises a plurality of the coated particles.
