Protecting the sensitive ingredient
A suitable carrier approach is assessed to protect the active ingredient against environmental and process-related effects.
FORMULATION TECHNOLOGY
Microencapsulation
An approach to protecting the active ingredient and delivering it within a carrier system suited to the application.
How does it work?ProtectionStabilityControlled release
GET TO KNOW THE TECHNOLOGY
Small-scale,
application-focused design.
Microencapsulation is the formulation of an active ingredient into small particles within a suitable coating or carrier matrix. The method and carrier are selected according to the active's properties and target application.
In animal nutrition applications, this approach may be considered to protect volatile and sensitive ingredients, support product stability and manage release behaviour.
THREE KEY CONSIDERATIONS
Active, carrier, application.
The technology is designed in line with the product's technical objectives.
Formulation stability
Preserving the ingredient within the formulation and ensuring compatibility with storage conditions are part of product development.
Release behaviour
The intended timing and conditions of active release guide the choice of carrier system.
The level of protection, stability and release properties vary with the active, carrier and process used; they are assessed through product-specific studies.
TARGETED DEVELOPMENT
Different actives
require different systems.
Natural isolates and extracts may differ in solubility, volatility and application requirements. We therefore consider carrier selection in the context of the final product as a whole.
Powder formulation, blend compatibility, target animal species and production conditions are assessed together.
