Lipids, lipophilic actives, pharmaceitucals Encapsulation helps stabilises lipid emulsions against physical and chemical instabilities. At the same time, bioavailability is increased. A crossover clinical trial conducted with healthy adults showed that DHA and EPA absorption, as measured in blood plasma, was higher (by 50%) in individuals fed encapsulated Omega-3. It is suggested that the encapsulated […]
Controlled intestinal release
Proteins, plant extracts, enzymes, lipids, pharmaceuticals, probiotics In response to elevated pH conditions, similar to intestinal conditions, the alginate microgels swells and starts to disintegrate. This initiates the release of active from within the microgels. How quickly the contents are release can be modulated by the concentration of calcium used to gel the microgels. The […]
