Definitions

  • the present invention relates primarily to certain mixtures, preferably spray dispersions, consisting of or comprising one or more organic solvents, one or more flavoring agents, one or more excipients and water (as described below).
  • the invention also relates to the use of such mixtures as spray dispersions, to processes for preparing powders by spray-drying the mixtures, and to corresponding powders, products containing these powders and processes for their preparation.
  • Spray drying is a commonly used process.
  • the mixtures to be dried generally spray dispersions, are introduced via an atomizer into a stream of hot drying air, whereby the spray mixtures are dried to powders within a few seconds.
  • Such mixtures often contain flavorings which are to be contained in the resulting powder by the spray-drying process in the highest possible proportion.
  • carriers are usually used, as a further constituent of these mixtures. Upon contact of the mixtures with the hot drying air, the dissolved carriers precipitate and tear the flavors also contained in the mixtures. During the drying process, a powder is thus produced which contains the carriers and flavorings.
  • the hot drying air (inlet temperature) during spray drying reaches temperatures of over 180 ° C. in order to allow the drying to take place as quickly as possible, which, however, requires a high expenditure of energy and the resulting costs. These temperatures are also significantly higher than the boiling point of the flavorings to be encapsulated. The result is thus also high losses of volatile flavorings in the drying process. These losses may be over 90% by weight of the aromatics originally used, thereby further increasing the costs incurred during the spray drying process.
  • WO 2014047107 (A1) describes a "low-temperature spray method" in which temperatures of less than 100 ° C. are used, limiting the losses of the volatiles originally used to a maximum of 80% by weight.
  • the spray dryer described therein should, however, be a system with moisture-detracting and drying function.

  • sodium lauryl sulfate is a surfactant with a strong denaturing effect and is now known as allergy-inducing and irritating to the skin.
  • sodium lauryl sulfate is therefore unsuitable.
  • mixtures according to the invention described below is preferably that they are free of sodium lauryl sulfate.
  • the primary object of the present invention was to provide mixtures, preferably spray dispersions, for spray-drying, in which the o.g. Disadvantages do not occur or occur only to a very small extent, and with which the flavorings used can be as authentic as possible and the resulting costs can be minimized by containing the losses of flavorings. Further aspects of this task as well as other tasks emerge from the following remarks.
  • the primary object is achieved by a mixture, preferably a spray dispersion, consisting of or comprising a) one or more organic solvents b) one or more flavoring agents,

  • the concentration of the carrier (s) in the mixture is at or near the saturation concentration K s
  • the carrier (s) precipitates particularly rapidly on contact with the hot drying air during spray drying and ruptures / Aroma substances break with it particularly effectively, while the water evaporates.
  • Our own studies show that the preservation of the aroma during spray drying in mixtures according to the invention is markedly increased.
  • the preservation of the aroma during spray drying can be specified or characterized by the encapsulation efficiency (VE). This is calculated from the percentage ratio of flavor in the resulting powder to originally added flavor in the spray dispersion.
  • the saturation concentration K s of the carrier / excipients in the context of the present invention describes that concentration of the carrier / excipients (in the entire mixture), starting from the / the carrier (s) with increasing concentration of the carrier / carriers under Standard conditions no longer triggers in the mix.
  • the saturation concentration K s for respective amounts of carrier substance (s) by preparing a dispersion, or solution, in water, optionally adding further constituents, wherein these are present in an amount which the carrier substance (s) not yet precipitating in the resulting mixture and subsequent titration with a mixture of the organic solvent (s) and the flavoring (s) under standard conditions. Since preferred excipients used according to the invention (see below) dissolve in water but not in the organic solvent (s), the carrier (s) fall from a certain ratio between water and the mixture of / the organic solvents) and / the flavors.
  • the saturation concentration K s then describes the concentration of the carrier substance (s) in the entire mixture in which the precipitation of the carrier substance (s) begins.
  • the precipitation of the carrier / carriers is preferably detected by turbidity measurement.
  • the values determined by turbidity measurement for the different saturation concentrations K s of the carrier (s) for the different percentage compositions of a mixture according to the invention can be shown in a triangular phase diagram, including the percentage of carrier substance (s), flavoring agent (s), and Water, are presented.
  • the combination of all saturation concentrations K s in a corresponding triangular phase diagram represents the phase separation limit, which defines a range of mixtures in which the carrier (s) still dissolve / dissolve from a range of mixtures in which the carrier (s) (e) fail, disconnect.

  • Maltodextrins are mixtures of monomers, dimers, oligomers and polymers of glucose.
  • the dextrose equivalent (DE value) corresponds to the percentage composition of the mixture. High DE values describe mixtures with a high proportion of glucose monomers, while low DE values indicate mixtures with a high proportion of glucose polymers (for example starch). With increasing DE values of maltodextrins, their solubility and hygroscopicity also increase.
  • Maltodextrins have good water solubility and are inexpensive, which makes the use of maltodextrins in spray drying particularly advantageous.
  • maltodextrins have low film-forming properties, which can lead to lower retention and thus loss of aroma during spray-drying.
  • the hygroscopicity of the maltodextrins adversely affects the subsequent storage stability of the preferably spray-dried powder.
