1. An encapsulation composition, comprising:

  • (A) an encapsulate, encapsulated in;

    (B) a glassy matrix,wherein said glassy matrix is;

    (a) a composition, comprising;

    (a1) 5 to 95% by weight, based on the total weight of said composition (a), of a first food polymer;

    (a2) 5 to 90% by weight, based on the total weight of said composition (a), of a second food polymer; and

    (a3) 0 to 45% by weight, based on the total weight of said composition (a), of a component selected from the group consisting of a sugar, a polyol, a corn syrup solid, and mixtures thereof,wherein said first food polymer is an n-octenylsuccinic anhydride-modified starch, andwherein said second food polymer is selected from the group consisting of an exudate gum, a bacterial gum, an extract gum, a seed gum, a pectin, a pregelatinized starch, agar agar, a hydrogenated starch hydrolyzate, a modified cellulose, a seaweed hydrocolloid extract, a protein, a fractionated protein, a hydrolyzed protein, and chitosan.
