The present invention describes an edible spray-dried particulate composition comprising a solid non-lipid carrier and an oil phase, wherein (i) said oil phase being capable of being released from the carrier on contact with an aqueous medium to form an oil-in-water emulsion and (ii) the oil droplets in said oil-in-water emulsion have a D[4,3] of from about 100 nm to about 1000 nm at least about 75% of the oil droplets in said oil-in-water emulsion have a size of less than about 10 &mum or the d90 by volume of the oil-droplets in said oil-in-water emulsion is greater than that of an oil-in-water emulsion used to prepare the composition by less than about 30%. The invention also relates to a method for the preparation of the composition, to food products and food supplements comprising the composition and to uses of the composition.
