The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of microcapsules, in particular
plant protein-based microcapsules and dispersions of such microcapsules (microcapsule
slurry), which include at least one hydrophobic
active ingredient, preferably perfume- or
aroma-containing
plant protein-based microcapsules, which have a balance of stability and performance compared to microcapsules of the prior art. Furthermore, the present invention relates to
plant protein-based microcapsules obtainable by the method according to the invention. In a further aspect, the present invention relates to the use of the
plant protein-based microcapsules and dispersions according to the invention as a component of household products,
textile care products, detergents, fabric softeners, cleaning agents, scent boosters or fragrance enhancers in liquid or
solid form,
cosmetics,
personal care products, perfume compositions, agricultural products, pharmaceutical products or print
coating for paper. Ultimately, the present invention relates to
consumer products comprising such microcapsules or microcapsule dispersions according to the invention.
