Encapsol Fat Coated Ferrous Sulphate

Product overview

ENCAPSOL® Fat Coated Ferrous Sulphate is a premium encapsulated iron ingredient developed using proprietary lipid-coating technology that surrounds ferrous sulphate particles with a protective food-grade fat matrix.

Performance Advantages

Ferrous Sulphate is recognized as one of the most bioavailable and cost-effective iron sources available. However, its high reactivity can lead to:
• Metallic taste and aftertaste
• Product discoloration
• Oxidation of fats and oils
• Vitamin degradation
• Reduced shelf life
• Moisture sensitivity and caking
ENCAPSOL® Fat Coated Ferrous Sulphate significantly reduces these challenges by creating a physical barrier between the iron and surrounding ingredients until release occurs during digestion or designated processing conditions.
Benefits of Encapsulation
• Preserves the high bioavailability of ferrous sulphate
• Reduces metallic taste and odor
• Minimizes color changes in fortified products
• Reduces oxidation of fats and oils
• Improves vitamin stability
• Enhances storage stability and shelf life
• Improves manufacturing efficiency
