The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing spray-dried powders. During the process, a solvent is used. The process is done batchwise such that the emulsification mass ratio is low when removal of the solvent is started. Preferred solvents are isopropyl acetate and ethyl acetate. The invention also relates to a set-up to run the inventive process at industrial scale.

Methods are provided for controlled release of stabilized bacteria into the oral cavity on consumption of a food, candy, gum, or similar substance so as to promote colonization of oral surface by the bacteria. Bacteria are selected to treat an oral condition, such as oral disease, halitosis, and/or stained enamel on consumption of the food.

Disclosed is a microcapsule containing: (i) a microcapsule core having an active material, and (ii) a microcapsule wall formed of a first polymer and second polymer. The first polymer is a sol-gel polymer. The second polymer is gum arabic, purity gum ultra, gelatin, chitosan, xanthan gum, plant gum, carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl guar gum, or a combination thereof. The weight ratio between the first and second polymer is 1:10 to 10:1. Also disclosed are processes for preparing the microcapsule and uses of the microcapsules in consumer products.
