What You Need to Know
The process relies on physical or chemical interactions such as spray‑drying, coacervation, freeze‑drying, or high‑pressure homogenization to form microcapsules. Encapsulation efficiency depends on temperature, pH, pressure, and particle size, while release kinetics are governed by matrix permeability and storage conditions.
The Science
Primary Reaction
Encapsulation of volatile flavor molecules within a polymeric or inorganic matrix via rapid drying, phase separation, or pressure‑induced emulsification.
