ENCAPSOL Fat Coated Zinc Sulphate

Product overview

ENCAPSOL Fat Coated Zinc Sulphate is a premium encapsulated Zinc ingredient manufactured using proprietary lipid-coating technology that surrounds Zinc sulphate particles with a protective food-grade fat matrix.

The encapsulation barrier isolates Zinc sulphate from moisture, reactive minerals, vitamins, proteins, flavors, and other formulation components during processing and storage. This controlled-release technology minimizes undesirable interactions while preserving the high bioavailability and nutritional value of Zinc sulphate.

ENCAPSOL Fat Coated Zinc Sulphate provides manufacturers with a highly effective Zinc fortification solution offering improved product stability, enhanced sensory performance, and superior processing characteristics.

Performance Advantages

Zinc Sulphate is widely recognized as one of the most economical and highly bioavailable Zinc sources. However, its reactivity may cause:

• Bitter and astringent taste
• Mineral interactions with Iron and Copper
• Vitamin degradation during storage
• Moisture sensitivity and caking/ lump formation
• Reduced shelf-life stability
• Processing challenges in fortified products

ENCAPSOL technology creates a protective barrier that significantly reduces these issues while ensuring Zinc availability during digestion.

Benefits of Encapsulation

• Preserves Zinc bioavailability
• Reduces bitter taste and astringency
• Improves flavor stability
• Minimizes interactions with vitamins and minerals
• Improves storage stability
• Reduces moisture sensitivity
• Enhances process efficiency and product consistency

Key Functionalities & Benefits

• Delayed Zinc release during processing and storage

• Reduced premature nutrient interactions

• Reduced metallic and bitter notes

• Improved flavor profile

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