A method of forming a dispersion of solid particles which comprise water-soluble material or water-dispersible material (e.g., ascorbic acid) in a water-soluble polymer may comprise the steps of: a) forming a first solution of the water-soluble material or water-dispersible material (ascorbic acid), water and a water-soluble polymer, b) mixing the first solution with a second solution of a water in a surface active agent having an HLB of less than 12 or less than 10 and oil, c) dispersing the first solution and the second solution to form a mixture of the first solution and second solution, and d) cooling the mixture, solidifying the first solution to form particles dispersed in said oil.
