Patent ID: 8013022

Claim:
A single emulsion process for stabilizing material to form a glassified stabilized product, said single emulsion process comprising a two (2) phase system providing for an aqueous phase and a non-aqueous phase, said process comprising: a. preparing a first aqueous phase comprising an aqueous solution of the material on interest in a sufficient volume of water or other liquid to provide a first aqueous phase solution; b. preparing a second phase comprising the step of dispersing the first aqueous solution in a non-aqueous suspending solvent to form a water-in-oil emulsion; c. agitating said water-in-oil emulsion so as to provide for formation of glassified particles; and d. collecting the glassified stabilized particles, wherein the glassified stabilized particles are further defined as comprising a stabilized material having a water activity of less than about 0.9.
