Encapsulates.
Control. Protect. Deliver.
Encapsulation protects ingredients, and/or their surroundings, by providing a barrier to maintain functionality and stability until the appropriate time when the ingredient can be released once certain conditions are met.
What are Encapsulates?
Encapsulates improve the texture, taste, economics and shelf life of food products via controlled release technology.
Food production is a demanding business that requires a close eye on detail throughout every step of the process. It’s important to have as much control over the performance and consistency of your end product as possible.
Technology Solutions.
The release of a lipid-coated encapsulate is affected by:
Temperature
Lipid melts and disperses.
Moisture
Water migrates inside, substrate leaches out.
Force
Shear from processing, mastication, etc.
Not all encapsulates are created equal.
We recognize this and provide solutions accordingly, which is why we’re considered a leader in the industry.
