A flavour delivery system is disclosed, offering a combination of improved properties including improved flavour intensity with reduced bitterness, together with improved flavour extension and release characteristics when incorporated into chewing gums and other products, comprises an emulsion of a liquid flavour, preferably a flavour oil, a sweetener, and a film-forming polymer coating component; wherein the sweetener and the film-forming polymer coating are combined and define a first aqueous solution mixture, the first aqueous solution mixture and the flavour component are combined to define a second aqueous solution mixture, and the emulsion is prepared from the second aqueous solution mixture. The present delivery system finds use in comestibles such as chewing gum compositions and other food products, pharmaceuticals, and scratch-and-sniff and aroma packaging products. The delivery system can be prepared in particulate form by spray drying. |
