PARTICULATE FLAVORING MATERIALS AND METHOD OF PRODUCING SAME Particulate flavoring materials are provided having a flavoring agent fixed in a particulate matrix containing a disaccharide and certain carbohydrates of hydrophilic colloids and starch hydrolysates. The ratio of the disaccharide to the carbohydrate in the particulate matrix is such that at least about 30% flavoring agent per total particulate matrix is entrapped in the matrix and less than about 4% flavoring agent per total matrix is unentrapped on the surface of the particles. The particulate flavoring materials herein provided thus effectively fix flavoring volatiles for storage without vaporization and/or chemical alteration of the flavoring power. The high quantity of flavoring agent contained per unit weight of matrix material in the flavoring particles provides significant economics with regard to storage, transportation, and manufacturing costs. Particulate flavoring compositions are prepared by forming an aqueous mixture of a flavoring oil, a disaccharide and a carbohydrate of the hydrophilic colloid and hydrolysed starch type, and then spray-drying the aqueous mixture under the influence of heat. The method produces particulate flavoring compositions in a very effective manner and enables substantial amounts on the order of about 30 to 60% flavoring agent entrapment in the particulate matrix. The method also provides for very efficient utilization of flavoring agents by the fixation or all or nearly all of the flavoring agent starting material in the particulate end-product. |
