A granular delivery system and a method of preparing the same by creating a melt emulsion having a continuous phase and a dispersed active, wherein the continuous phase includes trehalose and a hydrogenated starch hydrolysate having number average degree of polymerization, DPn, of between 5 and 100, or a number average molecular weight, Mn of between 800 and 16000 Da, forcing the melt emulsion through an die or orifice to form an extrudate, cooling and granulating the extrudate to form granules of the delivery system and optionally drying the granules.
