Abstract:
A dry, stable, edible oil composition comprising:(a) about 35% to about 55% by weight composition of an oil which contains a polyunsaturated fatty acid; and (b) about 65% to about 45% by weight composition of a multi-component encapsulating matrix, said matrix comprising: (1) about 65% to about 35% by weight matrix of a starch hydrolysate having a dextrin equivalent of about 20 to about 100; (2) about 35% to about 65% by weight matrix of a converted starch selected from the group consisting of a maltodextrin, a thin boiled starch or a combination of maltodextrin and thin boiled starch; (3) about 0% to about 15% by weight matrix of a cyclodextrin; and (4) about 0% to about 15% by weight matrix of a lecithin; and (c) wherein said composition is made by mixing an aqueous slurry of said matrix and said oil to form an oil-in-water emulsion, and drying said emulsion to obtain said dry, stable, edible oil composition.
