Description
Nanoparticle encapsulation enhances flavor stability and controlled release in food systems.
Technical
By encapsulating flavor molecules such as 2‑ethyl‑1‑hexanol and vanillin within lipid or polymeric nanoparticles, the compounds are protected from oxidation and volatilization. The resulting nano‑emulsions or polymeric carriers release the flavors over defined timeframes, enabling precise flavor delivery during cooking or consumption.
