In an encapsulation process, particularly for preparing simulated soft fruit, drops are formed by extrusion and simultaneously coated with alginate or pectate sol. The coated drops are treated in a setting bath of calcium ions. Calcium ions inside the drops also aid setting of the coating. Better defined skins and less tendency to stick together are found than with other known processes of coating drops using calcium ions both inside and outside to set the coating gel. |
