Methods to deliver an active component to a liquid foodstuff in a container with a narrow opening, for example, a beverage in a bottle, are provided. More particularly, a method is provided for delivering an active component to a liquid foodstuff in a container with a narrow opening. This method includes the steps of a) positioning a nozzle of a spraying device that produces a spray when the spraying device is activated in the opening of the container such that the spray produced by the nozzle travels an axis substantially perpendicular to the surface of the liquid foodstuff in the bottle and b) spraying at least one unit dose of a solution containing a hydrophilic substance and a solvent onto the surface of the liquid foodstuff in the container using the spraying device. Using this method, the active component is dispersed throughout the liquid foodstuff without additional mixing. |
