Protecting sensitive substances effectively – Particle design by fluidized bed and spouted bed processes (German article)
Stabilized active ingredients for the food and beverage industry by hot-melt coating and encapsulation in the fluid bed or spouted bed
To ensure that sensitive substances such as probiotics, flavors, vitamins or delayed-release active ingredients survive their journey through processing or the digestive tract, they must be functionally protected.
