More stable, effective, customized: Optimizing end products with finely tuned process parameters

Microcapsules provide an excellent way to extend the shelf-lives of essential oils, vitamins, flavors and many other active ingredients, and protect them from external influences. A key consideration, however, is process optimization, which plays a decisive role in the quality of the ingredients and their release profiles.A fundamental unit operation for food, bakery and confectionery manufacturers is the processing of powdered raw materials and premixes. To protect functional ingredients, to control their release behavior and to extend their shelf-lives — as well as ensure their safe storage and transportation — sensitive substances are often encapsulated with the help of fluidized and spouted bed technologies. A technology leader in this field, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik (Weimar, Germany), specializes in particle design and process and plant engineering. Glatt’s experts are well versed in selecting the most appropriate parameters for a wide range of applications.
