Microencapsulation is a fabrication technology that leads to important advantages in the world of ingredients. For example, by having the active ingredient encapsulated, you can mix additives which was not possible before. You can also protect them from heat, moisture and the environment, and, depending on their usage, the most appropriate coating is selected.

There are microencapsulates that brake with heat or when they come in contact with water. There are also some that are released by the pH. With the encapsulation technique you can conceal undesired odors and flavors and you can have ingredients in powder which were previously in liquid form. With microencapsulation the world of additives is potentialized.
