Protein, Plant Extract, Pharmaceuticals & Chemicals 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 […]
Stabilization
Lipids, Lipophilic Actives & Pharmaceitucals Encapsulation helps stabilize lipid emulsions against physical and chemical instabilities and at the same time, increases bioavailability. 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 […]
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 released can be modulated by the concentration of calcium used to gel the microgels. […]
