Encapsulated active components for delivering a desired amount of the active component includes at least one active component encapsulated within a delivery vehicle obtained by cryogenically treating plant material. The active may be a desired flavor that is added to a consumable base to prepare a consumable product, such as food or beverage product, or to prepare an oral care product. Methods for making the delivery systems containing the active component and products containing the encapsulated active component delivery systems are also disclosed.

Disclosed in the present invention are a starch-embedded aroma substance microcapsule and a preparation method therefor. The method comprises: performing degreasing treatment on starch, gelatinizing the starch at high temperature, sequentially adding aroma substances having different molecular sizes into the starch paste, and compounding at high temperature; and finally, cooling, centrifuging, washing, and drying to obtain an aroma substance microcapsule. The total embedding rate of the aroma substances in the obtained microcapsule can reach 46.64%. The present invention is simple and convenient in process, and easy in condition control, does not need large special equipment, and has low cost and high efficiency.

A method for preparation of a composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion includes providing caramel, one or more phenolic compounds, vegetable oil and vinegar. The caramel is prepared from one or more monosaccharides and/or one or more disaccharides and water, and heated for a time period. The method includes mixing the caramel with one or more phenolic compounds with vegetable oil.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for decolorizing an essential oil by which a change in a flavor of the essential oil is small even after decolorization. The first embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for decolorizing an essential oil, the method including an oxidation step of oxidizing an essential oil, in which the oxidation step includes a step of adding water and a phenol oxidase to the essential oil, and an addition amount of the water is 0.1 parts by mass to 1000 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the essential oil.

The invention relates to (dried) capsules with a high active-ingredient or active-substance content, to the use of the capsules in cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical compositions and to the production of the capsules.

The present invention relates to a new process for the preparation of microcapsules. Microcapsules obtainable by said process are also an object of the invention. Perfuming compositions and consumer products comprising said capsules, in particular perfumed consumer products in the form of home care or personal care products, are also part of the invention.

Flavour modifying composition comprising one or more flavour modifying compounds of Formula I, product comprising said flavour modifying composition, use of said flavour modifying composition for modifying taste perception in foodstuffs and beverages and method of improving taste perception in a foodstuff or beverage comprising adding said flavour modifying composition to said foodstuff or beverage.
