Low melt encapsulation with high laurate canola oil

摘要

The present invention is an encapsulated substrate, and in particular, a substrate encapsulated with a low melt vegetable oil. The use of a low melt vegetable oil has several advantages over conventional vegetable oil products, especially when used in food systems. In one embodiment, the low melt vegetable oil is a high laurate vegetable oil, and in particular, a canola high laurate vegetable oil. In another embodiment, a food grade acid is encapsulated with a low melt oil, and the encapsulated acid is used in the manufacture of low temperature meat products such as sausage. In another embodiment, a live culture of microorganisms is encapsulated using the low melt vegetable oil.
