Overview
Where nutrition science meets food manufacturing
Nutrients that survive processing and deliver on label claims — that is the standard your fortified product must meet, and the gap that generic supplement-grade premixes cannot close. Vitamins degrade in the oven, minerals react in acidic beverages, and iron causes off-notes in dairy: addressing these challenges requires encapsulation and formulation engineering matched to your specific application, not a one-size-fits-all ingredient blend.
We develop and manufacture custom functional food ingredients and premixes for F&B manufacturers, beverage brands, bakery companies, dairy processors, and snack producers. Our formulation team works from your application brief — target nutrient profile, processing conditions (temperature, pH, moisture, shear), and consumer-facing claims — to engineer an ingredient that performs consistently at commercial scale.
Encapsulation is central to our functional ingredient capability. Spray-dried and fluidised-bed encapsulation protects heat-labile vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics, and iron from the degradation that typically occurs during baking, extrusion, retorting, or high-temperature beverage processing. The result: label-claim potency maintained through the entire processing and shelf-life window.
Minimum order quantities are calibrated to emerging F&B brands, with batch capacity that scales to established food manufacturers.
Regulatory & quality framework
FSSAI FSS Act
All functional ingredients are formulated within permissible limits under the Food Safety and Standards Act 2006 and applicable FSSAI regulations — including FSS (Fortification of Foods) Regulations 2018 and proprietary food category guidelines.
GMP Certified
WHO GMP-compliant manufacturing with validated cleaning procedures, batch traceability, and pharmaceutical-grade environmental controls applied to food ingredient production.
NABL-Accredited CoAs
Certificate of Analysis from NABL-accredited third-party laboratories confirming label claim, heavy metals, microbiological limits, and encapsulation efficiency on every commercial batch.
Encapsulation Validated
Encapsulation efficiency, release profile, and processing stability tested across the specific temperature, pH, and shear conditions of the target food application — before commercial supply begins.
Shelf-Life Tested
Accelerated stability studies (40°C / 75% RH) from the first batch — so label-claim potency throughout claimed shelf life is data-backed before product launch.
Clean Label Compatible
Ingredient selection and carrier systems chosen to align with clean label, non-GMO, and allergen-free positioning where required — confirmed by ingredient-level documentation.
Functional Ingredient Range
Application-ready premixes across food categories
Encapsulated Micronutrient Premix
Microencapsulated vitamins and minerals for high-temperature food applications — baking, extrusion, and retorting. Encapsulation protects potency through processing so the label-claim is maintained in the finished product.
Key features
Beverage Fortification Blend
Custom vitamin-mineral premixes engineered for liquid applications — juices, functional water, energy drinks, dairy beverages, and powder-format RTD blends. Forms selected for solubility, colour neutrality, and taste compatibility.
Key features
Bakery & Cereal Premix
Vitamin-mineral premixes for bread, biscuits, breakfast cereals, and extruded snacks. Particle size distribution matched to flour and cereal blending, with forms chosen for heat stability and absence of oxidative rancidity effects.
Key features
Dairy & Plant-Based Fortification Premix
Fortification premixes for pasteurised and UHT milk, yoghurt, cheese, and plant-based dairy alternatives. Solubility, sedimentation, and heat stability validated under dairy processing conditions.
Key features
Snack & Savory Fortification Blend
Micronutrient blends for topical application to crisps, puffed snacks, and extruded products, or internal fortification during extrusion. Carrier and particle characteristics optimised for seasoning system compatibility.
Key features
Proprietary Formulation Premix
End-to-end development and supply of proprietary functional premixes under the NutraX brand. NDA-protected formulation, custom specification sheet, and full compliance documentation provided. MOQ suited to emerging brands.
Key features
Technical
From application brief to commercial ingredient
Functional food ingredient development requires both formulation chemistry and food-processing engineering. Our capability combines encapsulation technology, application testing, and regulatory documentation — so the ingredient that reaches your production line performs exactly as validated in our lab.
View our R&D & Quality capabilitiesApplication-specific processing trials
Prototype premixes are tested under the client's exact processing conditions — oven temperature, extrusion parameters, retort cycle, or pasteurisation profile — before commercial sign-off.
Encapsulation technology selection
Spray-dried, fluidised-bed, or lipid-matrix encapsulation selected based on the nutrient, processing challenge, and target release profile — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
FSSAI fortification dossier support
We assist F&B companies with FSSAI fortification compliance documentation — permissible nutrient ranges, label declaration format, and +F logo eligibility criteria.
Sensory and taste neutrality validation
Vitamin and mineral forms are selected for minimal taste, colour, and odour contribution. Sensory panel evaluation at prototype stage confirms consumer-acceptable eating quality.
Shelf-life data from batch 1
Accelerated stability studies begin with the first commercial batch — so brands have full label-claim shelf-life data before product launch, not retrospectively.
Rapid pilot-to-commercial scale-up
Pilot formulation to first commercial batch within 8–10 weeks of formula lock. Scale-up validation documented in a process specification that stays with the client.
