ENCAPSOL Ascorbic Acid

Product overview

Encapsol Ascorbic Acid is an advanced microencapsulated form of Vitamin C designed to overcome the inherent instability of conventional ascorbic acid. The protective encapsulation system shields the vitamin from Sun light , oxidation, moisture, heat, and interactions with reactive ingredients during processing and storage.

The controlled-release coating ensures that the active Vitamin C remains protected until the desired stage of processing, thereby maximizing nutrient retention, functional performance, and product shelf life.

Performance in Food Applications

Microencapsulation significantly improves the stability of Vitamin C during processing, transportation, and storage. The protective coating minimizes degradation caused by oxygen, humidity, metal ions, Sun light (UV radiation) and elevated temperatures.

In bakery applications, encapsulated Vitamin C can function as a dough improver while minimizing premature oxidation. In fortified foods and beverages, it provides improved vitamin retention throughout shelf life compared with conventional un coated ascorbic acid.
