Specialized gelatin for micro-encapsulation
Gelatin for micro-encapsulation is designed for the protection and controlled release of sensitive ingredients. Through complex coacervation with gum arabic or other polyanions, it forms uniform microcapsules that protect flavors, colors, vitamins and bioactive compounds from oxidation, heat and moisture. The technology enables sustained release and improved stability in food, beverage and pharmaceutical applications.
Core benefits of micro-encapsulation gelatin
Forms uniform microcapsules through complex coacervation with gum arabic or other polyanions.
Enables sustained and targeted release of active ingredients for improved performance.
Protects sensitive ingredients from oxidation, heat and moisture for extended shelf life.
Produces uniform microcapsules with particle sizes ranging from 10 to 500 micrometers.
