Microencapsulation for bespoke product properties

摘要

Using food and beverage systems to deliver active ingredients can be challenging: It is crucial that they are released at the right time and in the right place. Microencapsulation helps to protect raw materials from external influences, controls their interaction with the environment and ensures effective delivery - this is true not only for active ingredients, but also for sugar, salt and acids. To achieve this, RAPS GmbH & Co. KG uses two modern processes to refine its ingredients: fluidized bed and air flow bed technology. Deciding which to use depends on a number of factors, including the raw material, the application and the required product properties.
