ENCAPSOL Fat Coated Sea Salt

Product overview

ENCAPSOL Fat Coated Sea Salt is an innovative encapsulated sodium chloride ingredient manufactured using advanced lipid-coating technology that surrounds natural sea salt crystals with a protective food-grade fat matrix.

The encapsulation barrier protects salt from premature dissolution, moisture absorption, and unwanted interactions during processing and storage. The controlled-release technology allows salt to be released at specific stages during cooking, consumption, or digestion, improving flavour perception while enhancing product stability.

ENCAPSOL Fat Coated Sea Salt enables food manufacturers to optimize sodium delivery, improve sensory performance, and support sodium-reduction strategies without compromising taste.

Performance Advantages

Traditional salt dissolves immediately upon contact with moisture, often leading to:

• Uneven flavour distribution
• Premature osmotic effects in food systems
• Moisture migration in processed foods
• Reduced stability in sensitive formulations
• Sodium losses during processing

ENCAPSOL Fat Coated Sea Salt provides controlled salt release, improving flavour efficiency and processing performance.

Benefits of Encapsulation

• Enhanced flavour impact with lower salt usage
• Controlled sodium release profile
• Improved moisture stability
• Reduced hygroscopicity and caking
• Better shelf-life performance
• Improved ingredient compatibility
• Enhanced process control

Key Functionalities & Benefits

• Delayed dissolution of salt crystals

• Targeted flavour delivery during consumption

• Stronger perceived saltiness at lower sodium levels

• Improved flavour retention throughout shelf life

• Reduced moisture uptake

• Improved texture preservation
