 Encapsulation at work.

 

Your consumers want foods and beverages to taste great, and they're looking for nutrition and visual appeal. With National Starch Food Innovation, that's no problem.


With our modern encapsulation technology, we can deliver both pure lasting flavours and enrich and fortify foods and beverages without degradation of actives. Encapsulation is an effective way of delivering nutrients that previously would have been incompatible, unpalatable or destroyed in the production process.

  • Encapsulation protects against oxygen, oxidizing agents, other ingredients, enzymes, temperatures and light
  • Equally important, encapsulation provides ease of handling (change liquid into solid) and enhances flavour and nutritional value

Why starch?

  • Starch has been proven to be effective in prolonged active protection
  • Ability to permit high oil loading
  • High retention and low surface oil
  • Instant release of flavors
  • Cost effective
