ENCAPSOL Fat Coated Ferric Pyrophosphate

Product overview

ENCAPSOL Fat Coated Ferric Pyrophosphate is a premium encapsulated Iron fortification ingredient developed using advanced lipid-coating technology that surrounds Ferric pyrophosphate particles with a protective food-grade fat matrix.

The encapsulation barrier protects Iron from premature interaction with moisture, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, flavors, colors, and other reactive food components. This controlled-release technology minimizes undesirable sensory changes while maintaining the nutritional benefits of Iron fortification.

ENCAPSOL® technology enables manufacturers to formulate Iron-fortified products with improved shelf stability, reduced oxidation, and enhanced consumer acceptance.

Performance Advantages

Conventional Iron salts often cause undesirable colour changes, metallic taste, lipid oxidation, vitamin degradation, and reduced product stability. These challenges can limit Iron fortification levels and negatively affect consumer acceptance.

ENCAPSOL Fat Coated Ferric Pyrophosphate significantly reduces these interactions by physically separating the Iron source from sensitive ingredients until release occurs during processing, digestion, or consumption.

Benefits of Encapsulation

• Reduced metallic taste and off-flavours
•  Minimized product discoloration
• Reduced fat oxidation and rancidity
• Improved vitamin stability
• Enhanced shelf-life performance
• Improved compatibility with sensitive ingredients
• Better process stability during manufacturing
• Consistent Iron delivery

Benefits

• Delayed exposure of Iron to reactive ingredients

• Reduced premature oxidation reactions

• Reduced metallic aftertaste

• Improved flavour profile

• Improved compatibility with vitamins A, C, D, E, K and B-complex vitamins

• Reduced nutrient degradation during storage
