Added value functional products are oleoresin extracts, essential oils and natural food ingredients that are processed into powdered form to retain their strongest, freshest flavours.

Spray drying is a technique used for dehydrating aqueous botanical extracts. Oils and oleoresins are encapsulated in starch, maltodextrin or gum so that the strength and the flavour is locked in the capsule.
Encapsulation protects the active properties of the product over long storage periods. They are environmentally safe and can contain antibacterial properties. Conversion to powder form enhances convenience in application. When incorporated in food, the outer coating dissolves, releasing the full flavour.

In carrier dried products, the base resin is mixed with a carrier (like salt) which is normally an ingredient used by the end product.
