Embodiment 1

[0117] Preparation of the delivery system of the invention

[0118] All solutions were prepared in ultrapure water unless otherwise stated.

[0119] An aqueous solution of calcium chloride (0.1M) and a 2 wt% aqueous solution of green tea extract (from Naturex) (referred to herein as "GTE") were simultaneously introduced into the first mixing chamber and stirred until homogeneous. Each material was introduced at a flow rate of 2.5 ml / min. Thereafter, the mixture was transferred to a second mixing chamber, into which a combined mixture of disodium hydrogen phosphate aqueous solution (0.08M) and sodium carbonate aqueous solution (0.02M) was introduced at a flow rate of 2.5 ml / min. The prepared solutions were mixed to obtain equimolar amounts of cationic components (Ca 2+ ) and anionic components (PO 4 3- and CO 3 2- ) of the final product. The pH of the solution was 6.6.

[0120] The mixture was filtered under vacuum, washed 3 times with 2 ml of water, and dried at room...

Embodiment 2

[0125] Effect of Excess Cationic Components

[0126] Example 1 was repeated except that the calcium chloride flow rate was increased to 3.5 ml / min, resulting in a ratio of cationic component to anionic component in the encapsulating material of 1.4:1.

[0127] The final powdery product was prepared in the manner described in Example 1 and analyzed by HPLC. Compared with Example 1, it was found that the loading of green tea extract was significantly reduced.

Embodiment 3

[0129] Effect of Excess Anionic Components

[0130] Example 1 was repeated except that the flow rate of the dibasic sodium phosphate / sodium carbonate mixture was increased to 3.5 ml / min, resulting in a cation to anion ratio of 0.7:1.

[0131] The final powdery product was prepared in the manner described in Example 1 and analyzed by HPLC. Compared to the loading of Example 1, an increase in the loading of green tea extract was found to be greater than 35%.

[0132] The above examples demonstrate the clear benefit of an excess of anionic component over an excess of cationic component.

Abstract

The invention relates to a delivery system for an active ingredient, the system comprising an encapsulating material for the active ingredient, wherein the encapsulating material comprises (i) a cationic component, and (ii) an anionic component comprising a mixture of carbonate and phosphate moieties, wherein the molar ratio of carbonate to phosphate moieties is from 9:1 to 1:9.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an active ingredient delivery system, a method of preparing the delivery system and the use of the delivery system for masking bitter taste. Background technique [0002] It is well known that certain consumer products in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries contain bitter substances that detract from the overall flavor profile of the product being consumed and adversely affect consumer preference for that product. To solve this problem, manufacturers have gone to great lengths to mask or even remove this unpleasant product. [0003] The problem is particularly acute in beverages such as beer, coffee and soft drinks, as well as various pharmaceuticals, where the presence of polyphenols such as chlorogenic acid lactones or flavonoids is believed to contribute significantly to the consumer's perception of bitterness. [0004] Nevertheless, a variety of polyphenols or flavonoids found in foods are beneficial a...
