[0046] Table 1 below shows the test results of gel capsules containing fragrance material according to the present invention, and the comparative results of otherwise identical gel capsules without a second protective coating on the surface of the gel capsules. In each case the gel capsules are identical, formed of complex coacervates of gelatin with an encapsulated fragrance material consisting essentially of lemon oil. The storage conditions were the same in each case, 90% relative humidity and at 25°C. Fragrance intensity was judged by rupturing or breaking open the gel capsule, releasing the fragrance material from the then remaining delivery system gel capsule. As can be seen from the results in Table 1, the second protective coating improved the performance of the aroma delivery system. It was seen that those delivery systems with a second protective coating according to the invention delivered a greater aroma intensity than delivery systems without a second protective ...

Abstract

Gelatin capsules encapsulating an aroma material including at least one aroma compound may be applied to product packaging, such as food packaging, container (100) etc., with a secondary protective coating, e.g., at the interface of a container and its closure device. The gelatin capsules can be ruptured or broken when the container is opened, thereby releasing the aroma compound and causing a favorable aroma for the consumer. The secondary protective coating can reduce or prevent degradation of the gelatin capsules during product packaging, transport, and storage, thereby enhancing their performance.
