Taste masking increases the palatability of bitter actives such as pharmaceuticals and polyphenols. The Progel technology has been proven in animal models using Bitter Drug A, which is usually administered in animal feed. Bitter Drug A was encapsulated in Progel’s alginate microgels with farm trials being conducted across two continents using two animal species. Encapsulated Bitter Drug A was preferred by both species of farm animals and through sera analysis it was shown that encapsulated Bitter drug A was released upon ingestion, evidenced by the presence of active that was detected in the animal tissue.
