Advanced Microencapsulation Technology
Codis’ microencapsulation technology utilizes a scalable, industry-proven spinning disc process to embed a variety of ingredients, such as vitamins, minerals, and pharmaceutical APIs, within a hydrophobic vegetable fatty acid matrix. This lipid barrier shields the active from direct contact with taste buds and olfactory receptors, delivering effective taste and odor masking. The encapsulation also protects sensitive actives from environmental degradation, enhancing stability and shelf life. In addition, the coating can enable controlled or delayed release, allowing for targeted delivery and optimal performance across a wide range of oral dosage forms.
