Vitafoods

Protective coating or layering in the fluid bed for maximum effect with reduced material input Increased transport and storage stability: - Reduced sensitivity to light. - More resistance to oxygen, moisture and higher temperatures. Vitamins are essential substances and must be regularly supplied to the organism. A distinction is made between hydrophobic and hydrophilic substances. While fat-soluble vitamins are accumulated in the body, excess water-soluble substances are excreted. Due to their reactivity, vitamins are very sensitive to oxidation, light and moisture. Enriched products therefore usually contain increased vitamin levels to compensate for degradation during storage. Processes such as microencapsulation, layering of active ingredients onto carriers, or coating with protective polymers can increase stability and thus reduce the amount of vitamin needed. A typical example is sustained-release vitamin C or folic acid pellets with a protective coating. With layering on carriers, vitamin contents but also trace elements can be precisely dosed. There…
