Gum arabic is used as an emulsifier and stabilizer, e. g., in baked products. It retards sugar crystallization and fat separation in confectionery products and large ice crystal formation in ice creams, and can be used as a foam stabilizer in bever ages. Gum arabic is also applied as a flavor fixative in the production of encapsulated, powdered... 

At our facilities, micronization has been carried out by the SAS of three polymers used for many applications ethyl cellulose (EC], PLA, and Eudragit [52-54], EC is a versatile, organosoluble, thermoplastic, and biocompatible polymer (Fig. 22.5a]. In pharmaceuticals, EC is used to mask the taste of bitter actives, enhance the strength and appearance of tablets and capsules, and enable controlled-release formulations. In food, it is used for binding and film forming and as flavor fixatives, helping to make delicious flavors last longer. In cosmetics, it provides excellent water resistance and can be used to protect water-sensitive... 

Gandy. In confections (1% lecithin) made with oil or fat, lecithin emulsifies and distributes fat ia caramels, nut britties, nougats, etc it also prevents fat separation and gteasiaess. It has a fixative action for flavors (35) (see Flavors and spices). Also, lecithin is an emulsifier and conditioning agent for chewing gum base. 

Ben /ben ate [120-51-4] CgH COOCH2CgH, mp, 21°C, cff , 1.118 bp, 323—324°C at 101.3 kPa , 1.5681. This is a colorless, oily liquid with a faiat, pleasant aromatic odor and a sharp, burning taste. It occurs naturally iu Pern and Tolu balsams, is spariugly volatile with steam, and is iusoluble iu water. Benzyl benzoate is prepared commercially by the direct esterification of benzoic acid and benzyl alcohol or by reaction of benzyl chloride and sodium benzoate. The pleasant odor of benzyl benzoate, like other benzoic esters, has long been utilized iu the perfume iadustry, where it is employed as a solvent for synthetic musks and as a fixative. It has also been used iu confectionery and chewing gum flavors. 

Uses. Cinnamyl alcohol and its esters, especially cinnamyl acetate, are widely employed in perfumery because of their excellent sensory and fixative properties. They are frequently used in blossom compositions such as lilac, jasmine, lily of the valley, hyacinth, and gardenia to impart balsamic and oriental notes to the fragrance. In addition, they ate utilized as modifiers in berry, nut, and spice flavor systems. The value of cinnamyl alcohol has also been mentioned in a variety of appHcations which include the production of photosensitive polymers (49), the creation of inks for multicolor printing (50), the formulation of animal repellent compositions (51), and the development of effective insect attractants (52). 

Food was available 24 hours per day under a fixed ratio 30 (FR 30) response schedule on the leaf lever i.e. every thirtieth response delivered a 1 g banana-flavored food pellet and produced a brief flash of the hopper light. 

Methods of fixing the volatile aroma and flavor compounds separately from the instant coffee powder have been developed. The volatile mixture can be mixed with aqueous gelatin or gum arabic and spray dried. The oily droplets of the flavor and aroma compounds are coated with gelatin or gum arabic in a dry lattice. This powder can be mixed in with instant coffee powder and is relatively stable in the presence of air. Emulsification with sugar is also a highly effective way of trapping and preserving coffee volatiles, but is of limited use for instant coffees. 

Used industrially as a fixative for perfumes, artificial civet, food additive (flavoring), and medication. 

In 2006 and 2007, NIOSH investigated two flavor-manufacturing plants. Medical testing of 29 production workers identified 7 workers with fixed airways obsfrucfion who had worked in plated-powder and/or liquid flavoring work areas 4 of these workers had severe fixed airways obsfrucfion (CDC, 2007b,c). Mean work area diacetyl air concentrations using NIOSH method 2557) for plated-powder production and liquid production in one of these plants were 0.25 and 0.02 ppm, respectively (CDC, 2007b).

Uses. The main application of vanillin is the flavoring of foods (e.g., ice cream, chocolate, bakery products, and confectioneries). Small quantities are used in perfumery to round and fix sweet, balsamic fragrances. Vanillin is also used as a brightener in galvanotechnical processes and is an important intermediate in, for example, the production of pharmaceuticals such as L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA) and methyldopa. 

A recent study has been performed on various spray dried orange flavors(20% oil fixed in the powder) encapsulated on various Acacia gums and on mixtures of Acacia gums and malto-dextrins. The aromas in powder were tested by chromatography and then examined by electronic microscopy. This clearly shows the regular and uniform film covering each particle 10 to 40 microns in diameter. Prints of broken particles reveal numerous oil droplets (1 micron in diameter) spread in a gum nucleus. Protection of the oil phase then becomes fully effective.
