Human Nutrition · Encapsulated Micronutrients
Encapsulated Micronutrient Premix Manufacturer — Taste-Masked, Controlled-Release Technologies
When standard vitamin or mineral forms fail in your matrix — causing colour change, off-taste, or stability problems — encapsulation solves it. Spray-dried, fluid-bed coated, and wax-matrix encapsulated micronutrients for food, beverage, and supplement applications that demand ingredient invisibility.

What We Supply
Encapsulation Technology That Solves Difficult Matrix Problems
Many micronutrient fortification and supplementation challenges are really ingredient delivery problems. Iron causes grey colour in flour. Zinc tastes metallic in beverages. B vitamins create bitter off-notes in gummies. Fat-soluble vitamins oxidise in ambient humidity. Encapsulation is the engineering solution that allows micronutrient fortification in matrices where unprotected forms fail.
We apply the appropriate encapsulation technology to each challenge: spray-drying for vitamins and botanical extracts, fluid-bed coating for minerals and granules requiring pH-responsive release, lipid matrix encapsulation for controlled-release iron and zinc, and liposomal technology for enhanced bioavailability of micronutrients in liquid applications.
Every encapsulation approach is validated for potency before and after the simulated processing condition it must survive — pelleting, UHT, spray-drying, or baking — and for the release profile it must achieve in gastrointestinal conditions. This is characterisation-first manufacturing, not assumption-based.

Product Range
Encapsulated Micronutrient Types We Manufacture
Spray-Dried Vitamin Encapsulates
Fat- and water-soluble vitamins spray-dried in carbohydrate-protein wall systems — converting liquid vitamin forms into free-flowing dry powders with oxidation protection and improved blending compatibility for dry food and supplement matrices.
Applications
Fluid-Bed Coated Mineral Granules
Iron, zinc, calcium, and magnesium in fluid-bed coated granular form with HPMC, ethylcellulose, or shellac coatings for pH-responsive intestinal release — reducing gastric irritation and improving mineral tolerability in supplement formats.
Applications
Wax Matrix Controlled-Release Encapsulates
Hydrogenated vegetable oil and carnauba wax matrix encapsulates for sustained-release iron, zinc, magnesium, and B-vitamins — reducing peak plasma concentration spikes and extending absorption window for once-daily supplement applications.
Applications
Taste-Masked Mineral Premixes
Polymer-coated iron and zinc forms specifically formulated to reduce metallic taste perception in beverage, gummy, and chewable tablet applications. Sensory panel validated against your specific product matrix before commercial supply.
Applications
Liposomal Micronutrient Encapsulates
Phospholipid liposome encapsulates for Vitamin C, glutathione, B12, zinc, and curcumin — delivering enhanced bioavailability in liquid supplement and functional beverage applications versus standard salt forms.
Applications
Heat-Stable Micronutrient Encapsulates
Encapsulated vitamin and mineral forms with validated heat tolerance — specifically tested through simulated extrusion, baking, and UHT processing conditions to confirm potency retention after high-temperature manufacturing.

How We Manufacture Encapsulated Micronutrients
Encapsulation technology selection is a formulation decision, not a catalogue choice. Our approach starts with understanding your matrix challenge and target release behaviour, then selects and validates the right encapsulation system through process and stability testing.
Spray-Drying & Fluid-Bed Coating Equipment
In-house spray-drying and fluid-bed coating equipment for pilot and commercial-scale encapsulate production, with wall material and process parameter optimisation services.
In-Vitro Release Profile Characterisation
USP <711> dissolution testing at pH 1.2 (simulated gastric), pH 4.5 (intestinal transition), and pH 6.8 (intestinal) to characterise and confirm target release behaviour for each encapsulate product.
Process Survival Validation
Encapsulates tested through simulated pelleting (80°C, 60 sec), extrusion (120–150°C), UHT (140°C, 5 sec), and baking conditions — potency retention confirmed before commercial recommendation.
Sensory Panel Taste Masking Assessment
Trained panel sensory assessment of metallic taste, bitterness, and off-flavour in target matrices — quantifying taste-masking effectiveness before commercial launch.
Particle Size & Morphology Characterisation
Laser diffraction particle size analysis and SEM imaging to characterise encapsulate physical properties for blending compatibility and filling machine performance validation.
NABL-Accredited Potency Verification
Encapsulated micronutrient potency verified by HPLC and ICP-MS on every commercial batch — confirming both total content and accessible bioavailable fraction.
