Liquid flavors may also be mixed with carriers
and spray dried to obtain a fine free-flowing powder where the
flavor is in the microencapsulated form (Madene, Jacquot, Scher, &
Desobry, 2006). A spray dried flavor can have a flavor load of
200 g/kg ormore, depending onthe carrier used.Microencapsulation
protects the liquid flavor from the outside environment thus prolonging
its shelf life,whereas a simple blended flavor is not protected
from oxygen, air, moisture and heat
