Microcapsules

About

Our patented technology allows microencapsulation of hydrophilic ingredients with absolutely no release in aqueous environment unless an impulse is applied (pH or mechanical force). The technology we are offering has the following benefits: • Highly efficient barrier properties: No release of small water-soluble ingredients in aqueous environment; • Tunable specific ingredient: The materials used to fabricate the microcapsules can be selected to prevent release of a specific active ingredient; • Tunable release profile: The thickness of the walls can be designed and selected according to the molar mass of the active ingredient to be able to control its release profile (no release or sustained release); • Tunable release stimulus: The microcapsules can be designed to enable release of the encapsulated active ingredient at a specific time and/or in the presence of a specific stimulus (pH or mechanical force).
