The present disclosure relates to microencapsulated compositions comprising one or more hydrophobic materials encapsulated by an encapsulant, wherein the encapsulant comprises one or more modified proteins and/or peptides; and wherein the one or more modified proteins and/or peptides are obtained from a starting protein by subjecting the starting protein to a high shear process, such that the average particle size of the one or more modified proteins and/or peptides is reduced relative to the starting protein. The present disclosure further relates to methods for protecting a hydrophobic material from oxidative degradation, for improving the oxidative stability of a hydrophobic material, for reducing the surface free fat of a microencapsulated composition, and to stable emulsions and composition comprising a hydrophobic material. |
