MicroSal™
"Water stable microspheres that provide high retention of ingredients and can be utilized for sustained release, targeted delivery, and heat triggered release. MicroSal™ can be incorporated in both aqueous and anhydrous products."
MicroSal™ consists of hydrophobic microspheres in the form of a free-flowing powder. Each microsphere can range in size from 10 to 200 microns.
MicroSal™ attributes include:
- Improved stability of functional ingredients
- Targeted delivery of the functional ingredients
- Extended release of functional ingredients
- Heat-triggered release system
- Enhanced bioavailability by improving cell absorption and increased intracellular accumulation
Varying the nature and level of polymer-based matrix to meet product performance requirements can control the release rate of functional ingredients from MicroSal™.
