Encapsulation is a process used to enclose active ingredients within a protective coating. This technique is widely applied in food, pharmaceuticals, and nutraceuticals to protect sensitive compounds, such as flavors, vitamins, or probiotics, from degradation due to environmental factors like heat, light, or moisture.
Modified tapioca starch BAOFLO is often employed in encapsulation due to its excellent film-forming properties and biodegradability. When used as a coating material, tapioca starch helps create a stable barrier around the active ingredients, ensuring their protection and prolonging shelf life. Additionally, its natural origin and non-toxic nature make it an ideal choice for food and pharma applications.
