SpheraCURE a new technology to make turmeric more assimilable by the body
The in-depth development of the numerous studies carried out by the founders of Sphera Encapsulation has allowed them to identify and develop micro and nano-encapsulation technologies. These technologies enable active ingredients to be enclosed in a tiny capsule to create personal care, home, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products. Among these activities, an important role is played in developing functional foods and nutraceuticals, as in the case of turmeric.
Encapsulation processes: a technology to combine natural materials and nutraceutical active ingredients
Sphera Encapsulation has developed various technologies adaptable to the needs of the customer and the products that the latter has to create. Through encapsulation, a substance can be combined with another, obtaining a particle of just 1000 microns (in the case of micro-encapsulation) or less than 1000 microns (in the case of nano-encapsulation).
The encapsulation process has become one of the most intriguing and stimulating sciences in applied research today. It has also given rise to an optimal technology for nutraceuticals and foods: SpheraCURE technology.
SpheraCURE technology: a solution for turmeric integration
La tecnologia SpheraCURE permette l’incapsulazione di sostanze lipofile rendendole totalmente solubili in acqua e pronte al consumo. Essa produce una barriera fisica tra l’ingrediente attivo e l’ambiente esterno facilitando una incorporazione e un equilibrio nelle condizioni di processamento.
Un’attenzione è stata posta nello studio di questa tecnologia verso il caso del basso valore di assimilazione che la curcuma ha nell’organismo.
SpheraCURE technology encapsulates lipophilic substances, making them soluble in water and ready for consumption. It produces a physical barrier between the active ingredient and the external environment, facilitating incorporation and balance in processing conditions.
The study of this technology paid attention to turmeric’s low assimilation value in the body.
Turmeric is a plant that has numerous benefits, including:
- antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits
- helps reduce the possibility of cancer
- healing effects
These potentials are, however, limited due to the low bioavailability that turmeric has and, therefore, to the problems related to the assimilation of this substance by the body, including:
- low solubility
- low bioavailability, which decreases its effectiveness
- odor and taste are not always pleasant if taken in large quantities
According to the studies carried out by Sphera Encapsulation, SpheraCURE technology proves to be the most effective solution to the problem. This technology microencapsulates anti-aging benefits such as proteins, turmeric, maltodextrin, rosemary extract, and ascorbic acid.
This formulation also allows the body to obtain several benefits, including:
- Greater absorption of turmeric
- High solubility in water
- Protection for the body
- Improved collagen
Studies carried out on a group of volunteers have shown how the bioavailability of turmeric in capsules has greater control up to 8 hours after intake through a slow release into the body, compared to the rapid absorption that free turmeric has in it.
