They must have good spray drying ability: allow forming aqueous solutions with reason- able viscosity to be pumped and sprayed, be not too sticky or hygroscopic products for rapid and efficient drying and good stability of the powder during storage. In the food industry, the main carriers used for oil encap- sulation are polysaccharides, starches, celluloses, gums and proteins. They are used alone or in combination. To produce fine and stable emul- sions and to have a better protection of the oil active molecule during spray drying, emulsifying and film forming compounds are also often necessary [16]. Local products, with good availability and offering some health benefits, may be preferred
