Micro Encapsulated Nutraceutical Ingredients
Botanical Innovations has developed propriety technologies to microencapsulate tiny droplets of Essential oils, Cold Pressed Oils, Botanical Extracts, Apple Cider Vinegar and Zero Alcohol Wine that are encapsulated within a protective coating.
Our microencapsulated powders preserve the volatile and sensitive nature of the Polyphenols in our product to control their release, improve stability, and provide other desirable properties.
These proprietary microencapsulated powders can be incorporated into various products including nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, foods and beverages and beauty and cosmetic products.
Our microencapsulated powder offer several benefits and find applications in various industries.
Botanical Innovations microencapsulated powders offer several advantages, including enhanced stability, protection from environmental factors (e.g., light, heat, oxidation), controlled release, improved solubility, reduced volatility, and masking of strong or unpleasant odours.
Improved Stability
Polyphenols are volatile and can degrade due to factors like exposure to light, heat, oxygen, and moisture. Micro encapsulation helps protect the Polyphenols from these factors, extending its shelf life and preserving its potency. The protective coating acts as a barrier, reducing oxidation and preventing evaporation, thus maintaining the quality and effectiveness of the active compounds over an extended period.
Controlled Release
Microencapsulation allows for controlled release of the polyphenols, providing a sustained or delayed release of its aroma, flavour, or therapeutic properties. The encapsulated particles can be designed to release the gradually, ensuring a longer-lasting effect in products such as air fresheners, fabric sprays, or diffusers.
Enhanced Solubility
Some Botanical Extracts, Oils and Essential Oils have limited solubility in water or other formulations, making their incorporation challenging. Microencapsulation can improve the solubility by dispersing Botanical Extract, Oil or Essential Oil in a carrier material that is more compatible with the desired formulation. This enables the use of Botanical Extract, Essential Oil or Oil in a wider range of applications, including water-based products like beverages, oral care products, or cosmetics.
Odour Masking
Micro encapsulation helps in masking or minimising the strong odours by trapping the volatile compounds within the encapsulation material. This allows for a more controlled release of the aroma, making the aroma more pleasant to use in various products, such as personal care items, cleaning products, or industrial applications.
Targeted Delivery
Micro encapsulation enables the targeted delivery of the Polyphenols to specific sites or systems within the body. By encapsulating the Polyphenols, it can be protected during transit through the body and released at the desired location, enhancing its therapeutic potential. This targeted delivery is valuable in pharmaceutical applications, where encapsulated essential oils can be used in drug formulations or controlled-release systems.
