Instant ‘nasi lemak’ flavour ingredient was prepared by microencapsulation of
palm olein and pandan leaf flavour. The pandan-flavoured encapsulated powder
was obtained after spray drying using maltodextrin (DE15) and sodium caseinate
as wall materials. Analysis of the encapsulated powder indicated that the
moisture, oil and surface oil content were 2.17%, 68.1% and 20.5% respectively.
Gas chromatographic analysis revealed that 78.57% pandan flavour was
encapsulated in the powder
