Encapsulation is a process which encloses flavors and fragrances within another material. The material that is coated is known as an active or core material, whereas the coating material is called a shell or encapsulated material. Flavors are expensive and sensitive products that are used in food products as an additive. To maintain the long term stability and integrity of the flavors present in the food products, they are encapsulated, or in other words, are protected. Encapsulation provides uniformity, improved taste, increased shelf life, coloring, and protection of food items from harsh conditions. Flavor encapsulation creates a barrier wall between the flavors and environment, protecting the flavor from evaporation, oxidation, and moisture intake. Also, to avoid various adverse effects, it helps in separating incompatible flavor constituents. Encapsulation of flavors has been commercialized by using methods like spray drying, spray cooling, extrusion, molecular inclusion, and others.
