The present invention provides a process of producing a
capsinoid-containing food and drink with a superior stability of the
capsinoid compound, and an emulsion composition comprising a capsinoid
compound with an improved dilution stability thereof. The process entails
blending an oil phase containing a capsinoid compound with an aqueous
phase and an emulsifier to prepare an emulsion composition, and mixing
the emulsion composition with an aqueous component, wherein an additional
emulsifier and/or a high-molecular component is added to the emulsion
composition, the aqueous component or a mixture thereof.
