ENCAPSOL Fat Coated Sodium Bicarbonate

Product overview

ENCAPSOL Fat Coated Sodium Bicarbonate is an advanced encapsulated leavening and buffering ingredient manufactured using proprietary lipid-coating technology. The protective food-grade fat matrix surrounds sodium bicarbonate particles, preventing premature reaction with moisture, acids, and other reactive ingredients during processing and storage.

The encapsulation system enables controlled release of sodium bicarbonate when exposed to specific triggers such as heat, hydration, mechanical shear, or digestive conditions. This allows manufacturers to optimize gas generation, improve processing performance, and achieve superior finished-product quality.

ENCAPSOL technology transforms conventional sodium bicarbonate into a precision-controlled ingredient suitable for demanding food, beverage, feed, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical applications.

Performance Advantages

Conventional sodium bicarbonate reacts immediately when exposed to moisture, heat or acidic ingredients, often resulting in:

• Premature carbon dioxide generation
• Loss of leavening efficiency
• Reduced dough and batter stability
• Processing inconsistencies
• Reduced shelf life of premixes
• Lower finished-product volume

ENCAPSOL Fat Coated Sodium Bicarbonate protects the active ingredient until the desired stage of processing, ensuring more efficient utilization and improved product performance.
