A process for the preparation of powder products via spray-drying, in a generally known manner, of aqueous dispersions, or slurries, of aminoplast microcapsules comprising an encapsulated oil, wherein, prior to being submitted to spray-drying, there is added to said slurry a de-tackifying colloid in an appropriate amount and the pH of the slurry thus obtained is adjusted to a value comprised between 4 and 6 by means of an acid. This process makes it possible to obtain powders that are particularly useful to impart pleasant and useful properties, namely fragrance and antibacterial or malodor counteracting properties, to consumer products wherein the incorporation of aqueous media or compositions is undesirable and affects the physical structure of the consumer product. |
