Abstract
A compound that includes a menthol glycinate. The menthol glycinate includes a menthol connected to a glycine or glycine derivative, via an ester linkage. The groups on the N atom are referred to as R1 and R2, and R1 and R2 are independently selected from the group consisting of: alkyl and R1 and R2 together with the N atom to which they are attached form a 4-8-member ring. R1 and R2 each contain at most 20 carbon atoms.

C07C 67/14 - Preparation of carboxylic acid esters from carboxylic acid halides
C07C 227/08 - Formation of amino groups in compounds containing carboxyl groups by addition or substitution reactions, without increasing the number of carbon atoms in the carbon skeleton of the acid by reaction of ammonia or amines with acids containing functional groups

Disclosed is a spray drying system and process for encapsulating a core material, such as a volatile flavor oil, within a carrier or wall material. The process is achieved by atomizing a liquid emulsion comprising the core material, the wall material, and a liquid solvent, applying a high-voltage, low-current, high frequency alternating current charge or a high-voltage, low-current, low frequency alternating-current charge at the site of atomization, and drying the atomized emulsion into an encapsulated, free flowing powder. Applying a high-voltage, low current alternating-current at the site of atomization allows the spray drying to be accomplished at significantly reduced temperatures, in particular, at inlet temperatures in the range of 25 C to 150 C, and outlet temperatures in the range of 25 C to 110 C. The low drying temperatures impart improvements in the resulting encapsulated powdered product, including better retention of volatile flavor components, a flavor profile comparable to that of the starting liquid formulation, and better hydration and dissolution in water-based applications.

FLAVOR ENCAPSULATION USING ELECTROSTATIC ATOMIZATION
Disclosed is an electrostatic spray drying process for encapsulating a core material, such as a volatile flavor oil, within a carrier or wall material. The process is achieved by atomizing a liquid emulsion comprising the core material and the wall material, applying an electrostatic charge at the site of atomization, and drying the atomized emulsion into an encapsulated, free-flowing powder. Applying an electrostatic charge at the site of atomization allows the spray drying to be accomplished at significantly reduced temperatures, in particular, inlet temperatures in the range of 25 ºC to 110 ºC, and outlet temperatures in the range of 25 ºC to 80 ºC. The low drying temperatures impart improvements in the resulting encapsulated powdered product, including better retention of volatile flavor components, a flavor profile comparable to that of the starting liquid formulation, and better hydration and dissolution in water-based applications.
