Discover innovative encapsulation solutions from Ingredion
Deliver consumer-winning colours and flavours in beverages
Ingredion’s encapsulation solutions allow you to develop cost-effective and stable formulations of flavours, essential oils, carotenoid-based colours, vitamins and nutrients.
Our encapsulants are sustainably sourced and non-GMO. As a result, you can rely on security of supply with consistent, reliable product quality for your products. Our products are non-allergenic, non-animal and derived from sustainable, renewable sources.
Overcome your formulation challenges
Encapsulation is the efficient, cost-effective way to transform oil soluble, volatile and oxidation sensitive ingredients into free-flowing powders. It protects the actives during shelf life from light (UV), oxidation and flavour losses due to evaporation of volatile molecules.
Ingredion’s encapsulation solutions will deliver a range of benefits to your encapsulated products and manufacturing operations:
- Improve product quality and shelf-life stability
- Enhance sensory and nutritional properties
- Improve release characteristics
- Reduce flavour loss during processing and storage
- Reduce cost-in-use through high oil loading and productivity improvements
- Deliver nutrients that previously would have been incompatible, unpalatable or destroyed in the production process
- Create cleaner labels that consumers prefer and trust
