SpherAQ®: cutting edge in the world of encapsulation

SpherAQ® is an innovative technology that is transforming the encapsulation landscape. Thanks to this advanced solution, it is possible to encapsulate lipophilic molecules, such as oils, making them completely soluble in water without adding flavorings or excipients. Let’s find out together how SpherAQ® is solving the problems related to the bioavailability of ingredients and how it benefits the nutraceutical sector.

SpherAQ® technology: solution for lipophilic molecules

Lipophilic molecules, such as oils, present significant challenges regarding their bioavailability, water solubility, and stability over time. SpherAQ® responds to these problems with a technology that creates a physical barrier between the active ingredient and the external environment. This process protects ingredients and metabolic enzymes from acidic conditions in the stomach, improving their stability and absorption. In addition, the technology allows for easy incorporation of encapsulated ingredients into finished products and excellent resistance to temperatures, homogenization, and oxidizing substances.

Unique benefits of SpherAQ®

SpherAQ® is an entirely natural solution capable of improving the solubility of lipophilic ingredients and masking undesirable flavors and odors. In vivo studies have shown that ingredients encapsulated with SpherAQ® are absorbed more effectively than traditional methods. The technology also increases the shelf life of products, protecting them from exposure to light, oxygen, and high temperatures. Thanks to these characteristics, SpherAQ® is particularly suitable for encapsulating lipophilic molecules in foods, beverages, and nutraceuticals.

SpherAQ® and nutraceutical solutions: a successful partnership

SpherAQ® has brought significant innovations to the nutraceutical sector, mainly thanks to the collaboration with The Nutraceuticals Business of Lubrizol Life Science Health (LLS Health). Together, the two companies have developed advanced solutions that use lipophilic microencapsulation to create products of the highest quality. The results obtained have been extraordinary, with a significant improvement in the formulation of nutraceutical products, thanks to the ability of SpherAQ® to enhance the absorption of active ingredients.

SpherAQ®: a true revolution in the field of encapsulation

Its ability to solve problems related to the solubility and bioavailability of lipophilic molecules, together with its numerous benefits, makes it a fundamental technology for the nutraceutical and food industries. With SpherAQ®, Sphera Encapsulation continues to be at the forefront, bringing innovative solutions for more effective, stable, and better-performing products.
