Encapsol Fat Coated Citric Acid

Product overview

ENCAPSOL® Fat Coated Citric Acid is a premium encapsulated acidulant developed using proprietary lipid coating technology that surrounds food-grade citric acid particles with a protective fat layer.

This protective barrier prevents premature dissolution and reaction during processing, storage, and handling while enabling controlled / target release under specific conditions such as heat, moisture, pH , mechanical shear, or digestive activity.

The technology improves ingredient stability, protects sensitive nutrients, and allows manufacturers to precisely control when acidification occurs within the product lifecycle.

Performance Advantages

Traditional citric acid dissolves instantly upon contact with moisture, often causing premature pH reduction, degradation of sensitive ingredients, flavor instability, and unwanted reactions with other active elements of formulations viz. minerals, vitamins, probiotics, enzymes, and proteins etc..

ENCAPSOL® Fat Coated Citric Acid remains protected during processing and storage, releasing the active citric acid only at the desired stage.

Key Functionalities & Benefits

• Delays acidification until desired processing or consumption stage.

• Protects premature release of gases particularly while baking & fizzy beverages creation.

• Minimizes premature ingredient interactions.

• Protects sensitive vitamins and minerals.

• Improves probiotic and enzyme survival.

• Enhanced manufacturing performance.

• Improved shelf-life stability.
