Abstract

The invention aims to provide a pearl-like capsule that can encapsulate a large amount of fatty substances and a method of manufacturing the same, wherein the pearl-like capsule is less deformable and/or less shrinkable even under freeze-thaw and thus is convenient for transportation and preservation. The pearl-like capsule has a structure where outer surface of a droplet is coated with water-insoluble coating of alginate and then coated with a coating consisting of glycerine, wherein the droplet includes water-soluble macromolecule, fatty substances, water-soluble multivalent metallic salt, rice lees, and starch.
