SPRAY DRYING OF MENTHOL AND PEPPERMINT OIL (MENTHOL POWDER & PEPPERMINT OIL POWDER)
[CODE NO.1929]


Flavor plays an important role in consumer satisfaction and influences further consumption of foods. Most available aroma compounds are produced via chemical synthesis or extraction. Foodstuffs containing synthetic flavor are often avoided, because the consumers suspect that these compounds are toxic or harmful to their health. Recently, the market of flavors is focused in using aromatic materials coming from natural sources to replace the use of synthetic flavors gradually.

Flavour is indispensable ingredients of food preparations, and their compositions are often highly complex. Commercial food flavors in liquid form are difficult to handle or incorporate into food. Moreover, many flavor components exhibit considerable sensitivity to oxygen, light, and heat. In response to these difficulties, dry flavors have been developed through encapsulation and used for applications such as flavored confectionery, chewing gums, toothpastes and pharmaceutical products.

The spray drying is an economical and flexible process. This technique allows obtaining high volatile retention efficiencies and it produces powders with a satisfactory stability. The main factors that affect encapsulation efficiency of microencapsulated oils and flavors are: type of wall material, properties of the core materials, characteristics of the in feed emulsion and conditions of the spray drying process.
