How to get the best out of your supplements?
Microencapsulation by coacervation is employed by a wide range of industries. FlowActives® microcapsules provide proven benefits in the formulation of food supplements and nutraceuticals:
- Controlled release of the active ingredient
- Transformation of raw material from liquid to solid
- Improvement of the active ingredient’s stability over time
- Greater flowability for better machinability of the product
- A reduction in oxidation of the active ingredient
- Resistance to high temperatures and to mixing
- Masking the flavour of the raw ingredients
- Possibility of mixing incompatible substances
Better performing ingredients

Technology
Microencapsulation by coacervation
The technology behind microencapsulation by coacervation involves a process able to protect both liquid and solid substances within a very thin membrane.
Coacervation microencapsulation process:
01
Dissolution of gelatine in water
02
Dispersion in water of the raw material to be microencapsulated
03
Microcapsule sizing and coacervation
