Abstract:
The present invention relates to granules comprising an active substance, obtained by spray-drying an emulsion comprising said active substance, solid particles, water and a water-soluble biopolymer having a molecular weight below 100 KDa. The invention further relates to a process for obtaining such granules and to products containing them.

Claim (Index 1):
Spray-dried granules obtainable by a process comprising:\n a) preparing an oil-in-water emulsion comprising\n i. a free, non-emulsified active substance selected from the group consisting of a flavour and a fragrance; \n ii. a water soluble biopolymer having a molecular weight below 100 KDa and devoid of emulsifying properties, and is present in an amount of from 10 to 70% by weight, relative to the total weight of the emulsion; \n iii. solid particles that are insoluble in water and hydrophilic; and \n iv. water; \n wherein no emulsifier is added at any step of the process so that the emulsion is free of emulsifiers; and \n b) spray-drying the emulsion obtained in step a) so as to obtain dry, emulsifier-free flavour or fragrance granules wherein the solid particles are in contact with the active substance.
