In the modern world of applied sciences, encapsulation is an increasingly fundamental technology for improving the quality and effectiveness of numerous products. Sphera Encapsulation is a point of reference in this field, thanks to a unique know-how that combines natural materials and innovation in the management of active nutraceutical ingredients. Let’s discover together the crucial role of micro and nano-encapsulation in the solutions proposed by Sphera Encapsulation.
Encapsulation is a technique that consists of inserting a substance inside another, creating a protective barrier that allows the molecule of interest to be isolated from the external environment. This process enables obtaining particles and capsules capable of preserving the ingredients, improving their stability and dispersion. Although initially developed to protect colorants and flavors, today, micro and nano-encapsulation is one of the most advanced and promising sciences, with applications in many sectors, from nutraceuticals to cosmetics, industrial chemistry, and pharmacology.
Sphera Encapsulation stands out mainly in the nutraceutical and food sector, where encapsulation is central in developing functional foods and nutraceuticals. The protection and controlled release of active ingredients are essential to guarantee the maximum efficacy of the ingredients used in these sectors. Thanks to advanced microencapsulation technologies, Sphera Encapsulation offers innovative solutions to optimize the bioavailability and absorption of nutritional principles.
However, the potential of encapsulation does not stop there. Micro and nano-encapsulation techniques are used in a wide range of sectors. In addition to those already mentioned, these solutions are also essential in wastewater treatment, producing functional fabrics, graphics and printing, and the electronics sector. In particular, in cosmetics and home and personal care products, encapsulation improves the stability and efficacy of the active ingredients contained in the products.
When the diameter of the particles becomes extremely small, below a micron, we speak of nanoencapsulation. Thanks to their tiny size, nanometric particles can easily enter cells, improving the absorption and bioavailability of the active ingredients. This process is particularly useful in “drug delivery,” the science that deals with directing and releasing active ingredients to specific sites in the body, increasing the therapeutic efficacy of drugs.
Sphera Encapsulation is the ideal partner for those seeking cutting-edge solutions in encapsulation and microencapsulation. Thanks to our expertise in the nutraceutical sector and an innovative approach, Sphera offers advanced technologies to improve the efficacy and stability of products in numerous sectors. Micro and nanoencapsulation, with its potential, continues to play a crucial role in improving products and searching for more effective and sustainable solutions.
