Abstract:
A process for the preparation of a substantially free flowing particulate flavor which comprises mixing an oil soluble flavor with a melted edible fat having a melting point from about 30.degree. C. (85.degree. F.) to 93.degree. C. (200.degree. F.) in a reaction zone to form a solution of the oil soluble flavor in the melted fat, cooling the solution of the oil soluble flavor in the melted fat, adding a first amount of super-cooling agent to the solution to produce solid particles having an average diameter of from about 0.1 to 10 cm, removing the solid particles from the reaction zone, and then grinding these particles with the super-cooling agent to produce a substantially free flowing particulate flavor whose particles have an average diameter of less than 1 mm.
