Beadlets-Lutein-zeaxanthin-lycopene-Microencapsulation – Finutra

Introduction:

Microencapsulation is increasingly attracting the attention of various industries as a means to attain product differentiation and enhance product value. It is the process of encapsulating tiny core/internal phase material with shell material through advanced techniques.

The technology has been applied in nutrition & pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, personal care & cosmetics, agrochemicals, construction, energy, textile, chemicals, defense, and paper over the past few years, owing to its complex properties such as delayed release, stability, thermal protection, suitable sensorial profile, and adaptability to the environment.

The microencapsulation market in the food & beverage industry is projected to grow at the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1% from 2017 to 2022.
Among food applications, the functional ingredients market held the largest share as biomolecules are highly reactive. This technology is implemented in the encapsulation of minerals, vitamins, flavors, sweeteners, phytonutrients, antimicrobials, antioxidants, enzymes, probiotic organisms, and essential oils.
