Microencapsulation

Innov’ia offers a wide range of solutions to optimize your functional ingredients, including microencapsulation. Microencapsulation involves isolating an active ingredient from its environment within a membrane or by applying a coating to protect it. The size of the resulting particles ranges from a few microns to several millimeters. By shielding sensitive compounds from environmental factors and controlling their release, microencapsulation opens new possibilities for product formulation and efficiency. The microencapsulation technologies mastered by Innov’ia include spray drying, fluidized bed coating, prilling, dripping, and emulsion-based techniques.
