Described is a spherical coated capsule comprising (a) a coating-free capsule having (i) a liquid or viscous core and (ii) a seamless solid shell surrounding this core, and (b) a seamless, solid coating surrounding said coating-free capsule, wherein-the diameter of the coated capsule is in the range of 5-9 mm, -the solid coating comprises at least one sugar or sugar-alcohol in an amount from about 30-90% (m/m), based on the total mass of the coated capsule, -the diameter of the coating-free capsule is in the range of 3-7 mm, the thickness of the shell of said coating-free capsule is in the range of 20-200 mum, -the ratio of shell thickness to diameter of said coating-free capsule is in the range of 0.004-0.04, -the shell of said coating-free capsule contains 70-90% (m/m) gelatine or alginate and 10-30% (m/m) plasticiser, based on the solids content of said shell, and -the core has a flavouring content in the range of 1-100% (m/m), based on the total mass of the core. Further described is a method for preparing such capsule. |
