Product overview
ENCAPSOL® Fat Coated Ferric Pyrophosphate is a premium encapsulated Iron fortification ingredient developed using advanced lipid-coating technology that surrounds Ferric pyrophosphate particles with a protective food-grade fat matrix.

Performance Advantages
Conventional Iron salts often cause undesirable colour changes, metallic taste, lipid oxidation, vitamin degradation, and reduced product stability. These challenges can limit Iron fortification levels and negatively affect consumer acceptance.
ENCAPSOL® Fat Coated Ferric Pyrophosphate significantly reduces these interactions by physically separating the Iron source from sensitive ingredients until release occurs during processing, digestion, or consumption.
Benefits of Encapsulation
• Reduced metallic taste and off-flavours
• Minimized product discoloration
• Reduced fat oxidation and rancidity
• Improved vitamin stability
• Enhanced shelf-life performance
• Improved compatibility with sensitive ingredients
• Better process stability during manufacturing
• Consistent Iron delivery -
