Microencapsulation traps volatile flavor molecules in protective shells to control release and protect from oxidation.
Origin: Japanese researchers (1990s) — Japan
See full technique reference →By forming physical barriers such as spray‑dried shells, coacervate layers, or freeze‑dried matrices, volatile compounds are encapsulated, reducing their evaporation and oxidation. The process parameters—temperature, pH, pressure, and time—directly influence particle size, shell thickness, and release kinetics, enabling precise flavor delivery in condiments.
