ASSAISONNEMENT ET PROCEDE D'AMELIORATION ET DE RENFORCEMENT DES SAVEURS ALIMENTAIRES PAR MICROENCAPSULATION, ASSOCIES A UNE REDUCTION DE L'APPORT EN SODIUM PAR L'ALIMENTATION
An encapsulated seasoning and method for seasoning for preserving, seasoning, enhancing, and potentiating flavor in a variety of foods and beverages is disclosed. The encapsulated seasoning may include shell and a core, the core comprising at least one seasoning particle having a particle size less than 25 microns and a non-aqueous composition. The encapsulated seasoning particle may include sodium chloride, as a seasoning, and a hydrophobic shell. Encapsulated small sodium chloride may be more effective in delivering taste impact than larger sized sodium chloride. Therefore, less sodium chloride may be required for the same taste effect resulting in less dietary sodium intake.
