The microencapsulation solution by Natura laboratoriji (NL) for food industry is based on a complex coacervation where a combination of natural polysaccharide and a protein are used for entrapment of hydrophobic molecules. All materials used are naturally sourced food grade ingredients and vegan compliant. The final material is a dry powder.
There are 4 main goals being achieved by this propietary method of microencapsulation:
- Fast solubilisation: NL microencapsulated products are dry nanoemulsions which have a »self emulsifying« property when introduced into water. This means that powder is soluble in water and a homogenous dispersion is obtained within seconds.
- Increased bioavailability: nano and microencapsulation techniques have proven effects of enhancing bioavailability through various active ingredients. NL microencapsulated products are developed to survive low stomach pH and be target opened after pancreatic enzyme contact in a gut. A complex of enzymes being secreted from pancreas successfully degrades protein-polysaccharide wall complex for active ingredients release.
- Improved stability: when active ingredient is prone to degradation due to various reasons, microencapsulation techniques have proven to be stability enhancers.
- Masking taste: taste is a sign of an exposure. NL microencapsulated products for food industry have no taste.
