Gelatin for Micro-encapsulation

This gelatin for micro-encapsulation forms uniform microcapsules via complex coacervation, with particle sizes 10-500μm, supporting controlled release and oxidation protection for sensitive ingredients.

Product Overview

Specialized gelatin for micro-encapsulation

Gelatin for micro-encapsulation is designed for the protection and controlled release of sensitive ingredients. Through complex coacervation with gum arabic or other polyanions, it forms uniform microcapsules that protect flavors, colors, vitamins and bioactive compounds from oxidation, heat and moisture. The technology enables sustained release and improved stability in food, beverage and pharmaceutical applications.
