The membrane of the microcapsule coating the raw material consists of gelatine for food use of porcine or bovine origin.
The process includes 3 main stages:
Dissolution of gelatine in water
Dispersion in water of the raw material to be microencapsulated
Microcapsule sizing and coacervation
A. Membrane
B. Raw Material
FlowActives® dry microcapsules have an optimal size, being between 100 and 600 microns.
If required, and in order to satisfy any special requests from our clients, the IPS technical team is available to conduct research and feasibility studies to modify the size of the microcapsules. A smaller size will result in a greater mechanical strength for the microcapsule but a lower concentration of the active ingredient, and vice-versa.
Our team is at hand to develop any new microencapsulation project with you. Please contact us for more information.
