Applications

Food, Flavors & Neutraceuticals

Karmat’s microencapsulation experience in the Food, Flavors & Neutraceuticals industries can provide you a complete solution to your applications.  View our Capabilities and Contact US to find out how we can meet your needs.

Some of the solutions and formulations offered by Karmat:

• Encapsulated flavors for controlled release in food applications

• Encapsulated, functional food ingredients for controlled release in food production

• Encapsulated food ingredients, protected against heat degradation or unwarranted reactions with other ingredients

• Encapsulation of ingredients for taste masking

• Premixes of Vitamins & minerals 

• Preservation of functional and nutritional values of costly ingredients, such as vitamins, by protecting them against heat, destabilizing pH values and unwarranted reactions with other food ingredients 

• Combining "incompatible" ingredients by encapsulation and controlled release (heat, pH, mechanical action triggered) enables the manufacturer to optimize the production process (shortening of various manufacturing steps, savings on active ingredients) or use ingredients which otherwise would have an adverse organoleptic impact

• Encapsulation of ingredients may delay or avoid product degradation and shortening of shelf life as result of:

• Microbial action (for example, by water activity)
• Oxidation of fats and oils (for example, by chemical interaction with oxidation agents)
• Loss of nutritive values of vitamins and other nutritional ingredients (for example, by exposure to heat)
• Taste masking of functional ingredients
• Staling and roping (for example, by molds)
• Protein degradation
• Loss of flavor
• Color fading
• Fat or sugar migration
• Unwarranted or  premature interaction between compounds
