Caraway, also known as meadow cumin, is a medicinal plant whose properties have been valued for centuries in traditional medicine. Rich in essential oils such as limonene and carvone, caraway is renowned for its digestive, carminative, and antispasmodic qualities. 

However, consuming caraway through teas or essential oils can sometimes be unpleasant due to its pungent taste and the difficulty of dosing the active ingredients. The volatility of the essential oils can also reduce the treatment's effectiveness. 

For IPS, these obstacles do not pose a limit. The company has developed microcapsules with caraway essential oil that preserve all the therapeutic properties of this ingredient while mitigating its intense flavour. 

The caraway microcapsules produced by IPS are formulated through a coacervation microencapsulation process, which transforms the liquid oil into free-flowing powders that are easy to dose and consume. The size of the microcapsules ranges from 100 to 600 μm, with an oil concentration of up to 85-90%, ensuring a high content of active ingredients. 

One of the main advantages of IPS caraway microcapsules is their ability to mask the unpleasant taste and odour of the essential oil, making the intake of supplements more pleasant for the consumer. At the same time, the microcapsules significantly improve the stability of the active ingredients, protecting them from oxidation and mechanical or thermal stress. 

The microcapsules are also designed to resist the acidic environment of the stomach, ensuring that the active ingredients are released at the optimal point of the gastrointestinal tract, leading to maximized absorption. 

Therefore, IPS microcapsules are a valid alternative for supplement manufacturers, providing the opportunity to offer high-quality products with better market acceptance and the chance to stand out in a highly competitive sector.
