Results for tag: "Food Encapsulation"

Food encapsulation is a process used in food processing to protect and preserve food ingredients. It involves the use of a coating material, such as a polymer, to form a protective barrier around the food ingredient. This barrier helps to prevent oxidation, moisture loss, and microbial contamination. It also helps to extend the shelf life of the food product. Encapsulation can also be used to mask off-flavors, improve the texture of food, and enhance the appearance of food. Encapsulation is used in a variety of food products, including beverages, dairy products, confectionery, and bakery products. It is also used in the production of nutraceuticals, functional foods, and dietary supplements. Some companies in the food encapsulation market include GAT Food Essentials, Balchem Corporation, Kerry Group, Capsulae, and Encapsys. Show Less Read more
