The invention relates to a coacervated capsule comprising from 10 to 95% by weight of the capsule of a core comprising essentially a hydrophobic material, and from 90 to 5% by weight of the capsule of a coating layer comprising essentially a protein, and optionally a non-protein polymer, wherein the core further comprises from 0.01% to 30% by weight of the capsule of a cellulose ether derivative having an alkoxyl content from 35 to 60% and a degree of substitution of alkoxyl groups per anhydroglucose unit of from 2 to 3 and the viscosity of the core, measured at ambient temperature, is from about 100 mPa·s to 30000 mPa·s.
