    Abstract

    An encapsulated material is described of which at least a part of the material is kept encapsulated during heat treatment in an aqueous environment and is released during cooling after a heat treatment. The material is encapsulated in a layer of a hydrophobic film-forming material and a layer of a material having a low critical solution temperature (LCST) below the treatment temperature. The layer containing the hydrophobic material may be situated inside the layer having the LCST and have a melting point below the LCST, but it may also be situated outside the layer having the LCST and have a melting point above the LCST of said layer. Said layers may also be applied together.
