Tuneable particle size

Simple microgels for complex problems.

The science of encapsulation is currently applied in a wide range of industries. The Progel microgel, based on the calcium alginate gel system, is a widely studied system with proven benefits in pharmaceuticals, food and nutraceuticals. Our research has shown that the simplicity of the gel system offers multiple advantages over other encapsulation methods. A few examples of the features of the Progel microgel is shown below.

See All applications

Gastric Protection

In the stomach, encapsulation protect against denaturation and deactivation by gastric enzymes and the low pH environment.

Controlled intestinal release

Progel microgels are designed to breakdown and release its contents in the intestinal environment. The rate of release is tuneable based on processing parameters.

Enhanced probiotic viability

Probiotic viability is notoriously difficult to maintain in finished products. Encapsulation offers significant improvement in viability of probiotics over the product shelf life.

Stabilization

In a finished product, encapsulation protects unsaturated fatty acids (Omega-3) from instability and helps with rapid absorption.

Taste masking

Taste masking of bitter or astringent compounds by encapsulation in Progel microgels has been proven in animals and human models.
