Performance Advantages
Zinc Sulphate is widely recognized as one of the most economical and highly bioavailable Zinc sources. However, its reactivity may cause:
• Bitter and astringent taste
• Mineral interactions with Iron and Copper
• Vitamin degradation during storage
• Moisture sensitivity and caking/ lump formation
• Reduced shelf-life stability
• Processing challenges in fortified products
ENCAPSOL® technology creates a protective barrier that significantly reduces these issues while ensuring Zinc availability during digestion.
Benefits of Encapsulation
• Preserves Zinc bioavailability
• Reduces bitter taste and astringency
• Improves flavor stability
• Minimizes interactions with vitamins and minerals
• Improves storage stability
• Reduces moisture sensitivity
• Enhances process efficiency and product consistency -
