PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for preventing interaction with surrounding food (for example, in a few cases, preventing the undesirable expansion characteristics of dietary fibers), supplying a nutritionally valuable substance without any bad palate feeling, ensuring the increased preservation stability of such a nutritionally valuable substance, and optimizing both the quantitative supply and localizability of releasing an active substance at a desired site (providing optimized bioavailability). SOLUTION: This encapsulated polyfunctional intravitally active food ingredient is such as to comprise a core containing at least one kind of dietary fibers, i.e., a core included by at least one kind of active substance in organism); wherein both the core and the active substance are encapsulated with at least one kind of shell-forming substance.
