Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of food technology and in particular, nutrient and bioactive rich plant formulations. Formulated products including nutrients and bioactives such as those provided by the Moringa plant are provided. In particular, coated or encapsulated food products having a spec release behaviour and a process for their production is described. The processes described enable food material, for example Moringa, to be used to provide nutrient dense foods that are more accessible and protected against loss of nutritional value. The resulting food products therefore allow better delivery of nutritional benefits to users.
