Method for fixing acetaldehyde

摘要

The present invention provides a methodology for fixing a volatile flavorant like acetaldehyde in a substrate composed of from 65 to 90% mannitol and from 10 to 35% of carbohydrate material composed of saccharides which are disaccharides or greater and combinations thereof. An aqueous solution is formed, said solution before composed of a mannitol component and a saccharide component and acetaldehyde is added thereto. The solution is spray-dried in a unit which has an inlet air temperature maintained at 105 DEG C. to 135 DEG C. and an outlet air temperature of from 60 DEG C. to 90 DEG C.
