Claim 8:
9. A process for preparing the coacervate core-shell microcapsule as defined in claim 1, wherein the process comprises the steps of:
a) preparing a hydrocolloid solution by dissolving at least one plant protein extract in aqueous solution;
b) optionally, preparing a hydrocolloid solution by dissolving at least one non-protein polymer in aqueous solution;
c) optionally, mixing the hydrocolloid solutions comprising at least one plant protein extract and at least one non-protein polymer;
d) preparing an emulsion and/or suspension by emulsifying and/or suspending a hydrophobic material in the solution;
e) forming a colloid wall comprising the plant protein extract and optionally the non-protein polymer around droplets and/or particles of the hydrophobic material present in an emulsion and/or suspension; and
f) optionally, cross-linking the colloid wall.
